    The squad, which started practice July 15 with a low turnout before growing in size as the school year approached, has been training at Harry Hill Park in preparation for fall races.

    As I rub my chin in puzzlement, I can’t help but think: is it already that time of the year again? Time for the high school football teams from across the state to kick off their seasons; time for the volleyball squads to work on that perfect bump-set-spike routine; time for the golfers to get out the driver; time for the cross country runners to increase their mileage before toeing the starting line; and time for the soccer players to put more oomph in their kicks.

    Becoming the first high school boys’ soccer team from the county will be no easy task, but one the Wildcats are up for as the season fast approaches.

    Following in the footsteps of the girls’ soccer team — which started last fall with junior varsity and continous this season with varsity — the boys will field a high school squad for the first time at Henry County High School. Each of these players are diving head first into varsity action, and are making history along the way.

    During the first week of practice in mid-July, coach Scott McClamroch was a little worried about the upcoming cross country season — his turnout was lower than expected and some of his top runners were not in the shape he was hoping they would be in. But by the end of the month, after the long-distance specialists started trickling in as school drew near, McClamroch was pleased with the numbers and the direction his program was headed.

    When Steve Frommeyer hosted the annual senior dinner at his home last week, he could not believe the number of players that were there — forks and knives in hand ready to gorge on the traditional steak and sides.

    Following in the footsteps of Henry County volleyball team’s record-breaking season — when the Ladycats won a school record 19 matches and claimed their first district title in school history — won’t be an easy task, but it makes it a little easier with a majority of those same players back in the lineup.

    The Henry County girls’ golf team will juggle its schedule this year to go against more stiff competition, be eligible to play in the 8th Region All “A” Classic for the first time and make the switch from the 6th Region to the 5th Region in post-season action. But the squad will basically be the exact same team from last year’s recording-breaking group, just a year wiser, a year stronger and a year better.

    In familiar fashion, the Eminence volleyball team will have a young team this season with a majority of middle school, freshmen and sophomore players. And the Lady Warriors are still trying to get back on the winning side of things after a couple of disappointing seasons record wise.

    A year after starting a junior varsity soccer program from the ground up at Henry County High School, the girls’ team is preparing to move on to the next level.

    For the first time in school history, a varsity soccer game was played Tuesday night when the Ladycats traveled to Whitefield Academy, and the memory-making Cats will follow with a complete 11-game schedule and post-season action.
