Stephenville Soccer

[hollywood]

Congrats to both the Jackets and Bees soccer teams on their 2nd round playoff victories!

Jackets beat Mansfield Summit in a shootout 4-3 on Tuesday and beat FW Trimble Tech 4-3 Thursday. Face Bburleson Centennial next week in Aledo.

Bees beat Mansfield Summit 2-0 Tuesday and beat FW South Hills Thursday 3-0. FWSH had a freshman forward who scored 77 goals this season. Shut her down! Defense wins championships.

I will say the Stephenville soccer program is getting stronger through good coaching but more importantly through the youth soccer program that continues to grow.

Soccer is steadily growing in popularity, and lots of scholarship money available especially for the ladies. Congrats to the Jackets and the Bees!

Thanks D51! You're right, more opportunities for the girls in scholarships. It's truly a great sport.. some don't give it a chance. I've played all my life.

Yep, soccer definitely getting popular. Burnet doesn't have a soccer program but it has been brought up. It's a $$$ thing....I hope we see it eventually. There's alot of soccer playin' fools in this town....Even Greendawg has been known to kick it around from time to time...but he complains his sagging billy goat nuts get in the way too much!.....

I've watched enough soccer on "Most Shocking Videos" to know you better not get LC1799 and Hollywood started.

they will be making a 3a soccer begining the 2014/2015, so one more year away. Will help out some of the smaller schools that still play 4A districts, especially when a smaller town like West columbia plays a big houston suburb school that has atleast twice the kids to choose from. and will especially do well for a school like stephenville that has a strong growing program.

And good luck to the teams on their upcoming matches

You're misinformed

Maybe so, probably more like preference rather than misinformed.
When I have a kid playing, it is tolerable.
Other than that, it is right down there near the bottom of spectator sports for me.

I have tried to learn to like it, tried to get excited about he World Cup and all that, but in the end, I don't really enjoy it.

I also suffer co-workers, usually foreigners, that go on and on about what a great game it is, and how soccer has the best athletes, etc.
I don't see it.

I do usually enjoy those "Women of the World Cup" photo galleries that feature female fans dressed in support of the team, especially the Brazilian gals!

I've said it before and I'll say it again - 6'0 215 lbs and 2000 yards rushing - I give a huge credit to soccer for light, on-your-toes running and learned foot skills in traffic. Also, combining QB with kicker = 251 point scored. Endurance. Lateral vision. Very good second sport.
