GREENVILLE -- The Greenville Lions’ soccer team will begin a string of three straight district home games tonight against North Lamar.

Scheduled starting times are at 5:30 p.m. for the junior varsity contest with the varsity affair to follow at about 7:15 at T.A. “Cotton” Ford Stadium.

The 5-5-2 Lions opened district play with a 1-0 victory over Sulphur Springs on Wednesday night in a game that was moved from Sulphur Springs because of wet conditions. Carlos Najera scored that goal for Greenville.

Greenville beat Paris 2-1 on Friday night as Ryan Wilhelm scored off an assist from Denim Douglas and Christian Zaquez scored on an assist from Jonathan Arellano.

Greenville also has home matches scheduled for Saturday against Princeton and then Feb. 24 against Commerce.
