SPEEDWAY HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETICS

It's the opening night of the IHSAA Football season and the 3A Sparkplugs host the 1A Covenant Christian Warriors at Ralph Johnson Field. The Sparkplugs are 2-0 in the regular season matchups with the Warriors taking a 41-0 road win in the season opener last season. The #8 ranked 2A Speedway Boys Soccer team picked up a huge 2-1 win over 2A #4 West Lafayette last night on the Speedway pitch. The Sparkplugs opened their season with a 3-1 road win at Whiteland and the Plugs go for a trifecta of wins for the opening week tomorrow when we host 3rd ranked 1A Covenant Christian. The JV (also 2-0) opens play at 10 followed by the varsity matchup at 11:30. Overall this week, the varsity volleyball and varsity girls soccer programs picked up a pair of wins without a defeat as both squads picked up ICC wins in the process. Great job Sparkplugs.
