Edwardsville Soccer, in cooperation with the Kansas City T-Bones, continued its Stadium Series this weekend, as host of teams from Edwardsville, Turner and Basehor at Community America Ballpark in Kansas City, Kan.

Thirty-three teams from pre-K through eighth grade are participating this year. The event gives local youth teams the uncommon opportunity to play in a stadium setting.

Matches continue from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday.
