It’s a “spring” sport, but high school soccer will get going in Georgia before January ends. The Putnam County High boys and girls coaches, led by Rhett Roberts and Brandi Barling, held tryouts at the end of the first week of January, working out at the practice fields at the high school while work is underway at the middle school’s stadium, where game action normally takes place. The 2022 season will begin with a scrimmage doubleheader against Monroe Area at home Jan. 25, then regular season play starts Feb. 1 at home vs. Morgan County. Roberts said, while the new schedule is out, it is subject to change should any school in their region, 4-AA, opt to not field soccer teams. Photos by MATTHEW BROWN/Staff
