Providence and Christian Academy of Indiana boys’ varsity squads will be joined by Floyd Central girls at the tournament, which will be held on Friday and Saturday at three locations and will feature 48 teams from Indiana and Kentucky.
All will face tough opposition in their respective divisions, none more so than reigning sectional champion Providence.
The Pioneers will be pitted at Karst Park against Brownsburg on Friday, before taking on South Bend Adams and Washington — ranked 14th in the latest Indiana Soccer Coaches’ Association poll — on Saturday.
Providence is 1-1-1 after a 2-2 tie with Floyd Central last week and hopes to add to the win column ahead of the Hoosier Cup with a victory at Jennings County tonight.
Christian Academy of Indiana will face Madison at Edgewood High School on Friday night, and it then will take on Edgewood Saturday morning, before finishing out with a matchup against Vincennes, both at Karst Park.
CAI is 3-1-0 this season, following its first defeat on Saturday, a 2-1 loss to Jeffersonville. The Warriors will be hoping to bounce back with a victory at Silver Creek at 6 tonight.
Another of our sectional champions, the Floyd Central girls’ team, will play the current ISCA team to watch Guerin Catholic of Noblesville on Friday evening. The Highlanders will then play Edgewood and Richmond on Saturday. All games will be at Karst Park.
The Highlanders moved to 2-1 on the new season in the past week after a 2-0 defeat at Mercy Academy of Louisville last Thursday, followed by a 3-0 victory over South Dearborn on Saturday. It will prepare for the Hoosier Cup with a game at Jasper this evening.
Brothers in arms! All set for the Hoosier Cup, which takes place in Bloomington this weekend, are Providence’s three sets of brothers (from left): Cody (freshman) and Weston Schrank (junior); Pierce (freshman) and Zev Crawley (senior); and Trent and Wade Brown (both juniors). Says Zev Crawley, “l like playing with Pierce because when I tell him to do something on the field, I don't have to sugarcoat it. He knows I love him regardless. As for playing with the other brothers on the team, it is fun to see how each one reacts when I tell them the other brother is playing better!”
