Jamborees kick off season in the sun

The soccer gods shone done favorably on the start of the high school fall season Saturday, when glorious weather was the order of the day at the Floyd Central and Providence jamborees.

Kick It was at Floyd Central, where the field has been shifted a few hundred yards during a revamp to make way for the football stadium.

The host's boys' and girls' varsity teams entertained visiting rivals New Albany and Jeffersonville.

The Highlander boys took on Jeffersonville in the first 20 minute matchup and came out on top by a 2-0 scoreline thanks to goals from Matt Kelecy and Jordan Adams.


However, the night belonged to New Albany and new coach Ben Vigar, who has moved up from the shadows of assistant after his father Dutch was appointed the school's athletic director.


The Bulldogs tied its first game 0-0, but beat Floyd Central 2-0 with goals from Steve Dobson and Cameron Jenkins.


In the girls' games, Floyd Central and New Albany just edged out Jeffersonville, both with 1-0 wins. On target for the Highlanders was Elizabeth Doody, while Kamaren Cole scrambled in a last minute winner against the Lady Red Devils.


In the much anticipated game against Floyd Central and New Albany, who played each other in last year's sectional final, the game finished scoreless.
