The Second Annual Alumni Soccer Game on Sobus Field was played at noon, the Friday after Thanksgiving. The First Annual Alumni Soccer game played last year, was organized by the late Lansing Athletic Director Adam Heck.

Heck wanted the game to be an annual event, so keeping with his wishes, first year boys head coach Benji Parkes, coming off a state final four appearance, took the reins and organized the game.

Attendance was impressive both on the field and in the stands. There were alumni players representing graduating classes from 2016 all the way back to the class of 2005. The players were just as competitive as when they played in high school; a bit slower maybe, but just as intense. There were probably a few sore muscles but in the end, everyone had a good time both players and spectators.

The Third Annual Alumni Soccer game, will take place next year on the Friday after Thanksgiving.
