Auburn boys soccer | AT A GLANCE

Despite a lack of experience, the Trojans look like one of the teams to beat in the SPSL North 4A. Defensively, the team relies on goalie Lopez and Shaver. The possible loss of senior defender Jerran Miller (ankle injury) for the season could hurt the team. The Lions look to their corps of midfielders to key the scoring. "We have enough in the attack with Ben, Sam and Adon, so we can be dangerous when we're running at you," Yorke said.
