Shawn Arellano and Korbin Arnell make plays for the soccer ball during a practice Tuesday at Wolves Stadium. The Wolves and Lady Wolves will play their first games Friday.
The Wolves soccer team will be returning to the field Friday as they start their season against Star Valley in a home game. Action starts at 5 p.m. at Wolves Stadium.
They will then take on Evanston Saturday in a second home match scheduled to start at 1 p.m.
Like the girls team, the boys are headed up by a new head coach in Kahler Dawson.
Dawson was chosen to replace former head coach Chris Bieber last year, but was unable to coach his first official year.
Before becoming the head coach, he assisted the girls team for a year and operated a soccer development program.
He's a lifelong fan of the sport, having played the game since we was five years old.
Dawson said he's feeling pretty good about how the boys are looking for their first games of the season. He said they've shown themselves to be great athletes and said the group, which includes 10 seniors, has a deep talent pool.
He also said there are more players signed up to compete than last year.
Dawson said his main goal is to carry on the tradition of great soccer already in place with the Wolves and looks forward to seeing them play the season.
"We're just excited we have a season to play," he said.
