By Ray Hamill — Both the Fortuna boys and Arcata girls will look to solidify their position atop the Big 5 standings in local high school soccer this week, with a full schedule of midweek and weekend games on tap.

On Wednesday evening, the Huskies will host McKinleyville as they look to stretch an eight-year unbeaten run and go to 11-0 on the season and 7-0 in the Big 5.
