City Of Warren/Warren School District Team Up

The City of Warren and Warren School District have joined forces to secure grant funds to build a new high school soccer field on the site of Axley Field just north of the high school gym.  Axley Field was the longtime home of the Warren Lumberjack Football team prior to construction of Jim Hurley, Jr. Stadium.  It is still used for youth sports from time to time and is often used for practice by various youth teams associated with the Donald W. Reynolds YMCA.

Mayor Bryan Martin and Superintendent Marilyn Johnson recently traveled to Little Rock to make a presentation to the state in an effort to secure a $150,000.00 grant to assist with the construction of the soccer facility.  The total project is estimated to cost $300,000.00 and the grant will have to be matched dollar for dollar.

If the city and district can secure the grant then the two entities will have to match it with $150,000.00 which would be shared between the two.  The Lumberjacks have a thriving soccer program for boys and girls that competes well on the state level.  The field could also be used for local soccer leagues and the Donald W. Reynolds YMCA.

This grant effort is another case of working to provide additional recreational opportunities for the youth of Warren and the surrounding community.
