Texas Spirit 94 Red traveled to Las Vegas, NV for the 2008 Vegas Cup on January 18th thru the 21st. The odds makers had the 94 Red team ranked 4th in the U14 Desert division. However, the girls proved them wrong by finishing with a 5 and 0 record that brought home a dramatic first place win!

The girls played excellent soccer throughout the entire weekend. Passing, shooting, and most of all finishing, allowed the 94 Red to compile 3 shut outs and a decisive overall goal differential.

Congratulations 94 Red on an outstanding win!

To say the north coaches are full of hot air was not to far off the mark last week. In the middle of the ’96 training session there was an emergency landing of a hot air balloon. The weather had turned a bit breezy and the balloon was being blown off course and into air traffic at DFW. The soccer fields at the Lewisville YMCA was a perfect spot for the balloon to land. The girls had a lot of fun and the balloon captain was very nice and let the girls help pack up the balloon.
