The Wildcats were grateful to SVU for allowing them to use the turf field, following the rain on Friday that would have made it difficult to play on RC’s home field. After a scrimmage today at Powhatan at 5 p.m., the Wildcats will officially start the season on Monday at home against Salem. The junior varsity game will start at 5:30 p.m., with the varsity game scheduled to follow at 7:15 p.m. (Stephanie Mikels Blevins photos)
