Construction for any school is usually not an issue but on Jan. 29, a cement truck caused some problems for Palmdale High. The cement truck was on campus building a batting cage for the softball team. The roads around the P.E. field were filled with mud after winter rainstorms, so the truck driver drove across the field to avoid problems. This turned out to be a bad idea.
   The truck’s tires got stuck in the mud about 18 inches into the ground. The tracks crossed from the black top and ended near the softball field. The field is used as a practice area for many sports including soccer and football. This incident interrupted the soccer team’s practice. Varsity Soccer Coach Jarrod Cline said, “It’s keeping us off the field.” To resolve the problem, a tow truck came and pulled the truck off the field. Assistant Principal Steve Radford commented, “These are the types of things they don’t prepare you for in school.”.
