Godd for them. I can't believe there was a school in the WPIAL that didn't have a football program. I wish Westmont had a $4.4 million dollar sports complex.

The people in the Westmont school district will never allow taxes to be raised to pay for such a facility. In fact, an administrator told me that there are alot of upgrades that need to be done in the schools (especially the middle school) but the school board is afraid to raise taxes to pay for them.

Well the Middle School is a piece of junk, and Westmont could use a new football field, but what they have works for now.
