Victor Paz and Tony Aguilera return as head coaches for the girls and boys Roadrunner soccer teams.
Low initial numbers in the first week of practices, which began back on July 27, have seen improvement over the last couple of weeks, with both programs having around 20 kids to start the season.
Last year the Lady Roadrunners went 2-10 overall but had just four seniors on the roster. This season’s roster is still taking shape, but the team will get its season started on Thursday afternoon at Roadrunner Stadium when they host Chino Valley with a 4 p.m. scheduled start time.
Holbrook’s boys team looks to improve on last year’s 3-9 campaign. Only four seniors dotted that roster and at least nine players with experience have returned along with several newcomers to try and get the job done.
The boys’ team will start its season on Tuesday, Aug. 25, with a trip to face the Grand Canyon Phantoms.
Both soccer teams will play at home on the 26th when they host Page in a doubleheader. The girls’ team plays at 4 p.m., with the boys’ team following at 6 p.m.
