The Brittany V schedule is out

With girls soccer practice beginning at area high schools this week, it's time to look ahead to the fifth rendition of The Brittany Willis Memorial Soccer Scholarship Showcase, ie, The Brittany.

The event will be Friday, March 27, and Saturday, March 28, at its home, Gillette Athletic Complex and the field is packed, as usual, with some very high quality teams. I haven't counted the teams but there appears to be 41 matches scheduled, which would surpass the previous high of 35 at The Brittany for the Boys IV last August.

Here is the schedule but please visit The Brittany Web site to learn all you need to know about this wonderful event that memorializes a special young lady who was taken away all too soon.
