Friday Night Futbol: High school soccer teams embrace spotlight of opening games
High school soccer takes center stage under the Friday night lights this week as teams across northwest Ohio get an early opportunity to highlight the sport, its coaches, and its players. Dozens of area boys and girls soccer teams will participate in the “Friday Night Futbol” event. “Anytime our sport is in the limelight, it's a positive for us all,” Findlay girls coach Mike Aubry said. “I know that our players are really excited about the opportunity to play under the lights and get their season kicked off. Futbol Friday gives us such great publicity around the area.” In 2015, the Ohio High School Athletic Association started the statewide initiative where soccer games take place the Friday before the high school football season kicks off. The OHSAA permits the soccer games to be played one day earlier than the traditional Saturday start of the soccer season.
