From high school students to 90-year-old residents, all came out to see the team's opening game Aug. 23.
The Richfield High School boys soccer team kicked off its season Aug. 23 before an audience of students, parents and senior citizens. Dozens of people of all ages showed up to support the boys in their opening matchup.
