Let’s dive into what happened during the first week, highlighting some of the best teams and players making waves on the field.

Hamilton Southeastern Starts Strong

We’ll start with the impressive performance from Hamilton Southeastern, who opened their season with a brilliant 4-1 victory over Mt. Vernon. Despite graduating four all-state players last year, Coach Chris White has faith in his squad and added some fresh faces this season. Key seniors Riley Bedics (goalie), Jude Chamberlain, Saint Jafri, plus junior Taylor Barrett Jr. joined the mix. Some standout returning players include defenders Gavin Boyle and Matthew Lathrop Jr., midfielders Cooper Perez and Jonothan Ramos Perez Jr., along with forward Nick Kestian. After making it to the Class 3A regional championship last year, Hamilton Southeastern looks primed for another deep run—just a little consistency in scoring is needed. They are set to visit Cathedral (1-0) on Tuesday!

Fishers Enjoys a Winning Start

Fishers also got off to a great start with a 3-2 win against Franklin Central in their opening match. Coach Phil Schmidt is keeping his eyes on defense and is optimistic about the team’s chances as they aim for a potential state run this October. With returning stars like seniors Andres Artigas, Drew Palmer, and Nate Bolles, along with a solid lineup of juniors, Fishers is looking tough this year. Their next challenge will be hosting Westfield (0-1) on Tuesday.

Noblesville Under New Leadership

In a fresh start under new coach Thomas Doering, Noblesville scored a victory against Columbus North, winning 2-1. Doering retained some valuable players from last year, including senior goalie Alex Eberhart, who had an impressive record of just 0.62 goals against average in 2024. Noblesville’s lineup features new talents along with returning stars, creating an exciting dynamic as they gear up for their Tuesday matchup against Perry Meridian (0-0).

Center Grove Faces Challenges

Center Grove is looking to rebuild after losing ten players from last season. Despite this, Coach Jameson McLaughlin is confident in the remaining team, especially star goalie Carter Dorrell, considered one of the best in the state. With forward Tanner Miller joining the squad, fans hope for an improving offense as the season progresses. Center Grove will host Bloomington South (0-0) on Thursday.

Impressive Showing from Brownsburg

Brownsburg kicked off their season with a stunning 7-1 win over Tech, returning 15 varsity players—nine of whom are starters. Coach Sean McGrath is thrilled about the team’s depth, believing it’s their year to capture the sectional championship after falling short last season. Their next game sees them traveling to Plainfield (0-0) on Tuesday.

Cathedral Continues Strong Performance

Having won their season opener 1-0 against Westfield, Cathedral is looking fantastic! Even with leading goal-scorer Cal Kurzawa absent, the team found success under the steady hands of goalie Blake Sales, who managed a clean sheet. Look out for key players such as junior forward Karol Molina Gomez, and midfielders Michael Bonaccorsi, Quinn Bateman, and Jordan Wedges as they prepare to face Hamilton Southeastern (1-0) on Tuesday.

Carmel Surprises with a Win

The Carmel team surprised onlookers with a resounding 3-0 victory against Zionsville. New midfielders Xander Dora, Quinn Wu, and Omar Assaf made immediate impacts, with Wu even scoring in the opener. Coach Shane Schmidt focuses on teamwork and hard work, and their next match against Pike (0-0) will show just how well this new team synergy plays out.

Zionsville Aiming for a Comeback

After their defeat to Carmel, Zionsville is gearing up to bounce back and will rely on player of the year candidate Arron Habecker to ignite their offense. Expectations remain high for conference and state wins. They’ll be visiting Lawrence North (0-0) on Tuesday.

Teams Shaping Up for Season Success

Many schools like Park Tudor are gearing up for a strong season, seeking another postseason run after retaining nine starters last year while also bringing in fresh talent. On the other hand, Bishop Chatard may have lost key players but still eye deep playoff success. All eyes will be on their home game against Lawrence Central (1-0) on Tuesday.

Lastly, teams like Speedway are adapting after losing seniors and a goal-scorer due to injury, but optimism lingers in their core group. Meanwhile, Covenant Christian aims to defend their title as Class A state champions, with a strong roster leading the charge this season.

As the Indiana high school boys soccer season kicks off, fans are in for a thrilling ride packed with fervent competition and remarkable athletic ability.
