The End of an Era, Probably

Paul- the voice of Saturday afternoon at Thomas Yewcic Stadium. So many great memories of Saturday afternoons at CV. Mr. Buriak does a fantastic job announcing games for the Blue Jays.

Although, Friday Night Lights are special, there is something nostalgic about CV Saturday games.

I question the investment and safety of lights at CV. Low enrollment in the program would give me caution. The hillside at night is a concern. Lack of other facilities at field level would be a greater priority for the program.

Thank you for the compliment, I appreciate it very much.
Your other comments here are spot on as well.

Growing up I went to a lot of the Westmont games on Saturday afternoons because I lived right there and it was something to do. You'd often see kids from McCort, Johnstown, Richland etc. at the Westmont games too for that same reason. I liked it. They did their homecoming game on a Saturday afternoon. I hope they continue to do one game like that each year.

From what I have heard the Westmont homecoming game will continue to be on Saturday afternoons moving forward. That is a tradition that will not change, even with the lights at the new field.

As a fan, I love the Saturday afternoon game. As a player, not so much. Those early season day games can get pretty hot, and Saturday games meant an extra day of practice in pads and one less day of weekend. I doubt the players will miss them.
