high school athletic season is drawing to a close, but the spring sports

are right around the corner.

In fact, soccer

begins its preseason today.

boys team will host a jamboree at 5 p.m. One of the teams competing against

exhibitions, while McIntosh's boys head to Pope High School. The Chiefs

will face Pope, Brookwood and Parkview Saturday with games beginning at

10 a.m. The games should be highly competitive and may be a preview of

a state final game.

will also face Westinster and Parkview. The McIntosh-Starr's Mill match
