What's new for 2020? The Atlas Cross Sport.

I was born and raised right here in Noblesville. I grew up in a home without domestic violence or assault – it wasn’t something I saw, or even heard about. But when I was introduced to Prevail of Central Indiana, I was shocked by the number of individuals who are affected by domestic violence. In 2018 alone, Prevail helped more than 4,000 clients in Hamilton County. (Nearly 80 percent of clients are women and children.) Domestic violence and abuse are hard topics to discuss, so you don’t often hear about them. But at Tom Wood Volkswagen in Noblesville, we’re breaking the taboo and raising awareness for Prevail, an organization that helps families in Hamilton County. – Mike Bragg, GM of Tom Wood Volkswagen in Noblesville

To help Hamilton County families affected by domestic violence and sexual abuse, you can donate the following items: • Art supplies (for children to journal and All Atlas Cross Sport models come with a touchscreen infotainment display express their emotions) with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. Navigation is optional, • Bottled water (8 oz. bottles, preferably) • Individually packaged snacks as is a reconfigurable digital gauge display and SiriusXM satellite radio.

Boys soccer teams will be busy Saturday By the time Saturday afternoon comes around, most boys soccer teams in Ham- ilton County will have already taken to the field. Teams can begin their regular seasons on Saturday, although a few local squads will be having scrimmages on that day as well. Three teams are playing regular season contests: Carmel hosts Zionsville, Fishers welcomes Franklin Central and Hamilton Southeastern plays at Mount Vernon. Also on Saturday, Guerin Catholic will scrimmage at Noblesville and Westfield scrimmages at Cathedral, while Hamilton Heights travels to Frankfort for a Jambo- ree there. All four schools open their reg- ular season on Tuesday (Aug. 18): The Golden Eagles host Cardinal Ritter, the Huskies travel to Yorktown and the Mill- ers will play at Greenfield-Central. West- field hosts Fishers in the first all-county regular-season game of the season. Sheridan begins its season next Thursday, Aug. 20, hosting Anderson Prep Academy. University will play an intramural schedule this season, and will not play against other teams. Here is a boys soccer schedule for this season, with information from the Kent Graham/File photo schools’ athletics websites.
