"Build it and they will come...renovate it and Eagles will soar!"

Neil Stamp and Mike Moriarty have been very busy.  They have been heading up the NEW Eastern High School Walk of Fame, and leading the effort to renovate the Eagle Soccer field. There are many enhancements under way to take this impressive field even better. Work is being done to widen the field by about TWENTY FIVE FEET and change the crown for better drainage. In addition, the field was extended to 360 FEET giving Eastern Players one of the largest fields in the area.  If the boys and girls think they have been running too much, they changed their mind once they saw the HUGE field for the 2008 season. There was a lot work remaining, but the Eastern Eagles and their supporters came through again on July 26.  The Field Work Day attendance was outstanding as the pictures and task list below show.  There is a saying "None of us is as strong as all of us".  This was evident on Field Day.  For Pictures, go to the Photos Page.
