Last week, students at D.A. Smith and Carroll High School (CHS) tried out for the CHS Lady Eagles and boys soccer teams. This evening, CHS Athletics announced the student-athletes who made the team for the 2026 spring season. Additionally, the coach has set the date and time for the first practice as well as a mandatory meeting with parents or guardians of the students who will play on the team.
The first practice for the girls is set for Thursday, Nov 6, from 3:30–5:30 p.m. at the CHS football field.
Also, all students who will be playing soccer must attend a mandatory parent/player meeting on Tuesday, Nov 18, at 6:00 p.m. in the CHS Multipurpose Room. A parent or legal guardian must attend the meeting with their child.
