By the time Saturday afternoon comes around, most boys soccer teams in Hamilton County will have already taken to the field.
Teams can begin their regular seasons on Saturday, although a few local squads will be having scrimmages on that day as well. Three teams are playing regular season contests: Carmel hosts Zionsville, Fishers welcomes Franklin Central and Hamilton Southeastern plays at Mount Vernon.
Also on Saturday, Guerin Catholic will scrimmage at Noblesville and Westfield scrimmages at Cathedral, while Hamilton Heights travels to Frankfort for a Jamboree there. All four schools open their regular season on Tuesday (Aug. 18): The Golden Eagles host Cardinal Ritter, the Huskies travel to Yorktown and the Millers will play at Greenfield-Central. Westfield hosts Fishers in the first all-county regular-season game of the season.
Sheridan begins its season next Thursday, Aug. 20, hosting Anderson Prep Academy.
University will play an intramural schedule this season, and will not play against other teams.
