Boston public schools are slated to play soccer all-star game
From the Globe's Robert Hohler:
For the first time in five years, soccer players in the Boston public schools are scheduled to play an all-star game tonight at White Stadium as part of the city's quest to boost pride, participation, and a competitive edge in interscholastic sports. The city revived the game with help from the Boston Scholar Athlete program, which Mayor Thomas M. Menino created in August with a $1 million grant from Suffolk Construction Co.'s Red & Blue Foundation to address serious inadequacies in the city's high school sports system.
Soccer was the first sport to benefit from the project, with teams receiving new uniforms as well as equipment they lacked, including goals at several practice fields. Intramural programs were formed at schools without interscholastic soccer, and players at every level were coached to place a greater emphasis on academic achievement.
The girls game is scheduled for 6 p.m., the boys play at 7:30 p.m.
(Boston Latin School's teams are not included because they compete in the
Dual County League. The East Boston boys chose not to participate to try to
prevent injuries before the state tournament.)

Look for updates from:
- Bob Holmes: A Reading resident (Go Rockets!) and Boston College graduate, Holmes is the Boston Globe High School Sports Editor. We remind you now that his weekly picks are often made in jest so everyone just calm down when he picks against Everett for 11 straight weeks.
- Mike Carraggi: An Everett native (Go Tide!), Mike attends Eastern Nazarene college and is entering his second year with the Globe. He'll focus on Division 1 this fall, which means he'll spend a lot of time in his hometown, which Forsberg thinks is cool because the Tide have that Fried Dough cart.
- Emily Wright: A Hyannis native (Go Barnstable Red Raiders!), Emily is a senior at Emerson College and has been with the Globe since the end of July. She'll cover Division 1A and will be the first intern we've trusted to navigate her way to Dennis-Yarmouth or any other school on the Cape.
- Mike Grossi: A Lexington native (Go Minutemen!), Mike attends Northeastern and has been with the Globe for two months. He'll cover Division 2 and 2A and unsuccessfully lobbied to include Lexington in the preseason Top 20.
- Jonathan Raymond: A native of Benicia, Calif. (a suburb of San Francisco), Jonathan attends Northeastern and has been working at the Globe since the end of June. He will be focusing on Division 3 and is likely woefully underprepared for covering a game in a foot of snow.
- David Carty: A native of West Bridgewater (Go Wildcats!), David is a senior at Emerson College and has been working at the Globe for a year. He'll cover Divisions 3A and 4 because, "small school ball is in my blood."
- The bench: You'll also catch updates from our regional contributors, including Globe North's Julian Benbow and South's Monique Walker. Correspondent Brendan Hall will have updates from the Globe West coverage area and will often try to sneak in Central Mass. news.
