Lawrence Field Hockey Team Faces Unplayable Field, Leaving Players Feeling Disrespected

The Lawrence High School field hockey team in Maine is starting their season without a home field due to unfinished work on their field. The school district paid a contractor to reseed and level the field, but the work was never completed, leaving the field unplayable. This situation has angered players, coaches, and other members of the program, who feel neglected and disrespected. The team is forced to practice at other facilities and has already incurred significant costs for travel and practice fees. While the district is working to rectify the situation, the team’s frustration is palpable. The team has faced a long history of inadequate field conditions, and the lack of proper maintenance reinforces a feeling of being disregarded. Adding to their frustration, the team’s 2022 regional and Class B titles have not yet been recognized with banners in the school gymnasium. Players feel this neglect further emphasizes a lack of respect for their accomplishments. The Bulldogs are determined to overcome these challenges and are looking forward to a successful season, despite the adversity they face.
