Winthrop High To Use Miller Field
Winthrop High will use Miller Field for four home games after the $65,000 Winthrop ERA project was completed last fall. Previously, the football team played at Ingleside park, which is unsuitable due to clay and stones. Park officials, led by superintendent Art Floyd, regard this move as a major victory for the town.
