Don’t look now, but high school golf teams have already started practicing.
And all of the other fall sports teams will be turned loose soon.
Although the season won’t hit high gear until August, golf teams can begin competing against each other Monday. That’s also the first day of practice for football, girls soccer, volleyball and cross country.
District 1 will hold its jamboree July 28 at Pine Oaks, but Science Hill head coach Kevin Vannoy said a few of the league’s nine teams have opted not to participate. The Hilltoppers’ boys and girls will open their seasons in the Morristown Invitational. The boys play on Aug. 3 and the girls event is Aug. 4.
Season openers for soccer, volleyball and cross country can be held Aug. 16 while the first football games will be played Aug. 19. Twelve games across the state are slated for that day with those teams getting a one-day jump on the Friday openers set for Aug. 20.
