Roughrider soccer to scrimmage in Verde Valley Saturday
The Yavapai Community College Roughrider soccer team will scrimmage at Mingus Union High School on Saturday, August 16. Warm-ups are at 12:30 p.m., and the Green vs. Gold scrimmage will begin at 1:30 p.m.
The soccer team is one of several championship teams developed by the Prescott based administrators for the Prescott campus. Over the last 26 years this team and others have played all their games or matches in Prescott or Prescott Valley. Some suspect that the scrimmage is an effort to reduce criticism coming from the Verde Valley over the cost and exclusiveness of the various athletic programs based on the Prescott campus.
This year the Roughrider soccer team is ranked third nationally in a recent pre-season poll. The soccer team has an overall record of 535-46-24 with 7 national championships, and 23 Arizona conference championships.
