Prep sports notebook

Columbus East girls soccer is planning an alumni event at 7 p.m. Saturday at BCSC Soccer Complex.

The event will include a game between former players and current East players. However, coaches also would also like to have an opportunity for a 30-and-over game, as well as under-30 game. The duration of the games can be decided at the event, depending on how many alumni are able to attend.

There also will be a social hour after the games, including tour of the facility. For more information, contact coach Ilya Schwartzman at [email protected]
