Fields transformed at St. Joe's
I drove past St. Joe's a few times last week and it appears that its new complex is nearing completion.
Bright green artificial turf has replaced what had tended to be a large, muddy field (the O'Hara at St. Joe's football game last year was a mess thanks to muddy, torn-up grass). There also appear to be new scoreboards for the baseball diamond and football field.
As I drove by, I thought to myself, I wonder which field they're going to name after Joe Wolf? I'm not sure I can think of a better way the school could honor the recently retired athletic director.

From Friday night football to Tuesday afternoon soccer, WNY high schoolers keep busy with sports. This is the spot to talk about their issues and accomplishments. Assistant sports editor Dennis Danheiser and reporters Keith McShea, Mary Jo Monnin and Tom Borrelli get the discussion started.
St Joes has done a first class job on their facility and deserve to be commended, all without tax payer funds. Canisius as well - great job. OP's complex is coming along and the turf should be on schedule for Game 1, and private fundraising pays for the local share. I like the theme here, too bad others do not follow suit.......
