The first full week of boys high school sports gets going today after a weekend of action.
Soccer
Monday
First State Military Academy (0-0) vs. St. Elizabeth (0-0), 3:45 p.m. at Alapocas Run State Park. The Vikings look to rebound after a 6-9 campaign in 2016. The good news for St E is the team returns two of its leading scorers, senior Israel Bernal-Ortiz and junior Chase Dunlap. Junior Vincent Fahey and senior James Smith will provide offensive support. Ethan Downs, a junior, is back in goal with a year of varsity experience.
The Vikings’ schedule includes home tilts vs. Caravel, St. Mark’s, Brandywine and Mount Pleasant. The Mount game will be played at Baynard Stadium. Road foes include Archmere, Newark Charter, William Penn, Salesianum and Delaware Military Academy.
St. Thomas More (0-0) at Lake Forest (1-0), 4 p.m. The Ravens make the short drive to Felton to meet Lake Forest. St. Thomas More will attempt to find more offensive firepower to improve on last season’s 2-13 record.
Among the opponents visiting Magnolia are Tri-State Christian (Md.), Salisbury Christian (Md.) and Woodbridge. The Ravens will take to the road against Salisbury School (Md.) and Red Lion, among others. Roster information was not available as of Monday morning.
