🏈 One last home game. One more outstanding field design!
Tonight’s final field design of the season features Oiler Dan at midfield and bold maroon and gold lettering across the white end zones—a great showcase of Oiler pride!
A huge thank-you to Mr. Moxey and our maintenance staff for their hard work, creativity, and care throughout the season. Our field crew has created some amazing designs while keeping our athletic fields ready for our students and community.
That dedication has earned East Alton–Wood River Community High School the **2025 Pioneer Athletics Fields of Excellence Award**, marking our **third consecutive year** receiving this national recognition!
The work continues as we look ahead to spring. In the coming weeks, we will overseed the new Oiler Nation soccer/JFL field with bluegrass, with the goal of having a greener playing surface while the Bermuda grass is still dormant to kick off an exciting girls soccer season. We also look forward to welcoming spring middle school football back to the varsity field!
Join us tonight for the final home game and help us recognize the crew whose hard work makes our fields a source of pride for Oiler Nation!
