Cameron season opener ends early

The Cameron High School Dragon Soccer Team took an early exit Monday during their season-opening game against Maryville.

The program continues looking for their first victory since the program was resurrected in 2019 after taking a year off due to lack of player. Coach Jason Welch, who oversees the Cameron Dragon Soccer Club, took over coaching duties that year.
