High school sports ready for action
With the 2004-05 school year beginning last week, the county’s fall sports teams are ready to begin their seasons, as well.
Several local squads will see action over the next few days, as season openers for soccer, golf, volleyball and football are quickly approaching.
The Pioneer football team opens its 2004 campaign Friday night with a road game at Livingston Academy, while the freshmen travel to take on Coffee County on Thursday night. Kickoff for both games is scheduled for 7 p.m.
On the soccer field, the Lady Pioneers participated in a play-day at Chattanooga Christian on Saturday, and open their season Monday night with a game at Lincoln County. Their home opener is set for Tuesday, with the junior varsity taking on Franklin at 5 p.m. and the varsity facing the Lady Rebels at 7 p.m.
Boyd’s Lady Bronco soccer team is also ready for action, and opens its season at home Tuesday afternoon against St. Andrew’s. The game is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. Thursday, the Lady Broncos will travel to Murfreesboro to face Middle Tennessee Christian.
The two local high school golf teams have already seen some action this fall. Warren County High School’s boys squad participated in the Stan McNabb tourney at Lakewood last week, and both the Pioneers and Lady Pioneers will head to Cookeville Monday for an Earlybird tournament at White Plains, then take on Coffee County and Cookeville at Willowbrook on Wednesday.
Boyd Christian’s golfers faced Friendship Christian and Cannon County this week, and will play Monterey and Smith County Monday at home. They travel to face Mt. Juliet Christian on Tuesday, and are scheduled to take on DeKalb County and Monterey on Thursday.
