Sports Week in Review, Aug. 30 - Sept. 4

Can you feel it? The fall high school sports season is just around the corner. Most teams get the season started in earnest next week, but this week they put the finishing touches on preseason practices.

The Lexington High School girls' volleyball team had two scrimmages.

On Monday, the Minutemen hosted Lynnfield High School. It was the first chance coach Jane Bergin got to see her revamped roster go to work against an opposing team.

All but two of the Minutemen's starting spots will be filled by newcomers this season. That has Bergin unsure what to expect for a follow up to last year's 10-8 record to go with a berth in the Division 1 North sectional tournament.

Lexington also hosted Wilmington High School on Thursday and will travel to Andover's Play Date on Labor Day to wrap up the preseason. The Minutemen open the season next Wednesday at home against Bedford High School.

Coming next week, Lexington Patch will preview the fall season with a closer look at each LHS team. We'll start Sunday with boys' soccer and wrap up next Saturday with swimming and cross country.

Here is a tentative schedule for the season previews:

Sunday: Boys' Soccer

Monday: Girls' Soccer

Tuesday: Girls' Volleyball

Wednesday: Field Hockey

Thursday: Golf

Friday: Football

Saturday: Cross Country, Swimming
