HARRISON — The fall youth soccer program in Harrison “kicked off” last Saturday and throughout the SAD 17 district with a few Harrison teams playing at home at the RADR Sports Complex. Harrison 5th/6th grade Team A, coached by Lloyd Robinson with assistant Will Frank, challenged Bethel at 9 a.m. Despite the high heat and humidity, both teams played with focus and determination.

Next week this team remains at home against Paris B.

At 10:45 the Harrison 3rd/4th grade Team A, coached by Jess and Mike DiBiase, took on Bethel A and at 11:40 played against Bethel B. Next week this team travels to Hebron.

Harrison 5th/6th Team B traveled to Waterford; however, this game will be rescheduled. The 3rd/4th grade Harrison Team B traveled to Hebron and had fun playing against Norway A and then a second game with Norway B.
