Warren County Vrs Skyline
I have commented before on how much growth there is here localy. This year Warren county built 1 new high school and doubled the size of an existing building and turned it into another high school. Untill this year there was 1 rundown high school surrounded by trailers to handle the overflow. They didn't even have their own athletic complex for football, baseball or track and field. Last week they had the dedications of both buildings and all the related hoopla that goes with it. Then Friday night they had the 1st ever Skyline High vrs Warren County High varsitiy football game, pitting the new in county rivals against each other. Kirsti and I walked over and watched for a while, it was a spirited competition to say the least, and about what you would expect for HS ball. The turnout was what was surprising, not an empty space to even stand in the stadium and not a parking place to be had for at least 2 miles. All arteries entering Front Royal were at a stand still as complete gridlock tookover for 2 hours surrounding the start of the game. Kirsti and I watched from a hillside overlooking the stadium. Both new schools are huge and claim to be state of the art in education, and having seen the outside sports complex I know they spent the money on atheletics as well. Dan is looking forward to attending Warren County High next year Kirsti and I are looking forward to it also since it is so nice, free, and walking distance for him.
