After rain forced cancellations the first two matches, Elmore County finally took to the pitch to begin its soccer season. The Panthers traveled to Oxford to compete in the Golden Goal Invitational at Choccolocco Park and each team grabbed multiple wins.

The boys team (3-2) pushed all the way to the championship match after winning three group games but ultimately fell on penalty kicks to White Plains to finish second Elmore County had a plus-nine goal differential in three wins over Jacksonville, Cherokee County and Faith Christian.
