After a hectic beginning to the school year, the softball field has finally been finished. The new complex includes a concession stand, the field, dugouts, and a scoreboard. The field will be shared by both
Northview and Lourdes University. Athletic Director Chris Irwin hopes that the new field will bring in more home spectators. “The field was long overdue,” he said. The field was created using turf instead of grass in order to keep the
need of maintenance at a minimum. This will allow the players to have more playing time, despite the bad conditions that spring brings. The LadyKats are expected to first take the field on March 30 at 5pm.

- Typically, any gas station you go to will have an air pump you can use; you just might have to pay a few dollars. The Speedway next to the school is automatic, but,the one at Tire Man you have to do yourself.
- First of all, make sure you’re close enough to the pump so you can reach all of your tires. Second, search along the edge of your door jam; a sticker with the recommended psi for your car tires will be there. If it’s not, it will be printed out on your tire.
Start your filling:
- To start, you’re going to have to remove the cap from your tire valve. Then, check the amount of psi in your tire. Fill your tire with short bursts of air until you get to your desired amount. Once you’ve reached your desired amount, replace your cap.
Automatic machines: - If you’re at an automatic machine, after removing the cap, simply input your desired psi into the machine. When the psi has reached the amount you input, the machine will beep; it will indicate to you that you need to end and replace your valve cap.
