TSC Texans Elite '91 Win the Region III President's Cup in Tampa, Florida
The TSC Texans Elite '91, after winning the STYSA President's Cup State Championship in May, travelled to Tampa, Florida, for the Region III President's Cup competition over the weekend of June 8-10. This tournament pulls teams from 12 state associations to determine a champion. This year 10 teams in the U16 age group made the trip to Tampa.
The Elite '91 team had an amazing run through the Regional competition, scoring 13 goals while allowing none to be scored against them through their five games. Only a 0-0 tie game in their opener against the Florida team kept them from an all-wininng tournament.
After the tie against Florida, which was delayed and then interupted again due to lightning, the Texans Elite easily handled the Tennessee team winning 6-0, and then dominated the Oklahoma team 2-0 to finish the prelims at the top of their bracket.
In the semi-finals, against the Louisana team, the Lafayette Thunder, the Texans Elite played an outstanding game, again stopping the opponent's offense and scoring 4 goals of their own to win 4-0.
The finals, played in the mid-afternoon heat and humidity of Tampa, pitted the Texans against the North Texas representative, the DFW Tejanos Premier from the Dallas area. A hard-fought game to the very end, the Texans again prevented any scoring and topped the Tejanos by a 1-0 score.
Our congratulations to the boys, and also to their trainer, coaches and parents on the crowning finish to an outstanding season!
