The girls teams will play 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., followed by the boys teams from 1:30 to 5:30 p.m. At 12:30 p.m., there will be a memorial ceremony in honor of Cassidy, followed by a friendly game between Cassidy’s former soccer teammates from Messalonskee High School vs. her Central Maine United Premiere Soccer team. Spectators are welcome all day. Rita’s Food Truck and the Ding Ding Ice Cream truck will be on site, as well as concessions and snow cones provided by Messalonskee Robotics Club.
