And by 3:30 p.m. head soccer coach Paul Arand was putting nearly 40 girls through their first official workout of the year.Although many are turning out, there's likely more to come. Patton said some athletes are on family vacations and there are students new to the district who will come in later.Patton said athletes can still turn out for a team, and that the football team particularly could use some more players.
