Heritage falls to Warren Central

The eagles fell behind early before losing 7-0. Warren Central scored five minutes into the game off of a corner kick that Heritage was unable to safely clear. Warren would tack on another goal a few minutes later which ended up turning the tide of the game into their favor. The eagles continued to compete but Warren simply had too much depth and fire power. The boys will use the weekend to rest up and are aiming to get their first win when they host Covenant Christian on Tuesday, August 25th.

Heritage comes up a bit short in the opener

The boys fell 2-1 against Plainfield High School. Plainfield was a pre-season honorable mention team and the eagles gave them all they could handle. Plainfield scored ten minutes into the game off of a header. The eagles continued to play hard and tied the game on a goal from senior Matt Goldsberry. The game was 1-1 at halftime. Both sides had chances to take the lead in the second half and Plainfield was able to break through for the game winning goal with three minutes to go in the game. While it was a tough loss, Coach Nelson is very proud of how the guys played.

Zionsville Scrimmage

The varsity team will host a scrimmage against #2 ranked Zionsville at 6pm on Saturday, August 15th. Come show your support for the boys in their last tune up before they begin regular season play. The eagles will travel to Plainfield to kick-off their season on Tuesday, August 18th.

Photo Schedule

We are scheduled to have our pictures taken Wednesday at 4:30 on the stadium field. Each player was given a picture form at practice yesterday. The athletic office will have extras if the picture form failed to make it home. The captains will decide today at practice on the uniform color the teams will wear for the photos. Each player should wear the game socks that came with the practice pack and cleats.

Regular Practice Times

We will start practicing from 3:30 to 5:30 starting on Monday. This will be our normal practice time through out the season. Due to field space, adjustments might have to be made once in a while. There will be advanced notice if a change needs to be made.

Information

Training sessions have been going well. We still have lots of room for growth but strides are being made in the right direction. Teams were made yesterday but they are not set in stone. The players heard on numerous occasions that things could change. A specific example was given of a player on last years team that started on the junior varsity and ended up starting and playing in some varsity games.
