Despite having the bases loaded, the team was unable to score any runs. “It’s just the beginning of the season. We’re just going to be playing out best by June, [and] that’s where champions are,” Rowe said.](https://wlhsnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/IMG_3077-1200x900.jpg)
***Update Both senior and staff lots will be open as of 4 p.m. August 30.
Driving up Skyline and West A Street, it’s hard to ignore the busy construction and cones blocking the road. The West Linn-Wilsonville District office had been planning the reconstruction of the parking lots for the past two years. The week after school ended, construction finally began.
Workers are in a rush to finish the senior and staff parking lots before school starts. According to Mark Martens, assistant principal, the parking lots will be opened by the first day of school on Sept. 3. Students and teachers are unable to park in the lots until then.
“I feel like a sophomore that just got my license,” Glenn Krake, English teacher, said of trying to find a place to park.
As for the football game this Friday at 7 p.m., visitors will have to find areas to park around the school, as the parking lots will not be available by then.
