Hamilton Announces Fall
High School
Soccer ‘Patriot Games’ at Veterans Park
What do you get when you combine Hamilton’s high school
soccer teams, patriotism and the recently upgraded Cowell Soccer Field at
Veterans Park?
You get Hamilton’s fall soccer ‘Patriot Games.’
Hamilton Mayor Kelly Yaede – herself a soccer player in both
township recreational and travel teams – announced the exciting new high school
soccer ‘double-header’ series that will involve the schools boys and girls
soccer teams and will take place this fall in Veterans Park.
“Veterans Park is our largest and most utilized township
park; and in addition to continuously investing in our recreation system, we
have also been working with our high school athletic departments so that our
student athletes can enjoy and better utilize our enhanced facilities,”
explains Yaede.
Recently, Hamilton has invested in improving Veterans Park’s
Cowell Soccer Field by installing a new fence around the field, new soccer nets
and bleachers, and a new scoreboard and sound system.
Raising Funds for a Patriotic
Cause
As part of the series of games, the high school teams will be
wearing red, white and blue socks to show their patriotic spirit. Additionally as part of the series, the teams
will be selling tee-shirts as a fundraiser of which proceeds will benefit the
Hamilton Township Patriotic Committee.
The Patriotic Committee uses these funds as part of their
efforts to promote patriotism through the various veterans memorials displayed
at the entrances to Veterans Park, such as the recently installed monument to
the United States Coast Guard.
Patriot Games
All games will be played at Cowell Field in Veterans Park
(accessible via the Kuser Road Entrance to the park). Each evening will feature a “double-header” as
both the schools’ girls and boys varsity soccer teams will play.
