Both Juneau-Douglas High School and Thunder Mountain High School soccer play games against Service High School this weekend.
The weekend’s matches are big tests for both Juneau teams. Many think Service’s girls squad is the best in the state this year. They hold a 8-1 record which includes a 13-0 drubbing of Bartlett. SHS suffered their first loss last week to Dimond High School.
Service sports an impressive team on the boys side as well, anchored in the back line by senior Brady Graff, an Oregon State University prospect.
The TMHS girls play at 11:30 a.m. today at Thunder Mountain Field. The TMHS Boys play Service at 1:15 p.m. today at TM Field.
