What a shame

I am writing about Friday night’s (Oct. 14) homecoming football game for the Monroe Woodbury Crusaders vs. Newburgh Free Academy. My 11-year-old son wanted to go and meet up with some of his friends to support the team - he loves football. I have to say I was appalled by the conditions of the field that night. What an embarrassment for our kids and town. The kids couldn’t even run on the field. They were sinking in it. Isn’t it time we did something with that football field? With the taxes we pay in Monroe-Woodbury, I can’t believe that this is the best we can do. What a shame for our kids and shame on us. Ann Byrnes Highland Mills
