MAYFIELD VARSITY GAME MOVED TO SATURDAY
This Friday, we are expecting inclement weather between 1 p.m. and 9 p.m. As a result, a decision has been made to move Friday night's football game between Mayfield High School and West Mesa High School to Saturday, Aug. 31 at 1 p.m. The game will still take place at the Field of Dreams and there is no need to purchase additional tickets.
Please remember the Field of Dreams observes a clear bag policy.


LCPS parents: Because of weather delays during dismissal, several buses are running behind schedule and students will be arriving at their stops later than usual. Thank you in advance for your patience.

The 2024 high school football season at Field of Dreams kicks off tonight at 7pm with a heated rivalry game - Las Cruces Bulldawgs vs. Mayfield Trojans.
