Going to QT

KeeperSweeper wrote:Since I have been elected to go first, here goes:

Qualifying Teams:

Texas Restar(don’t think they had much turnover, good enough to requalify)
AFC Red(After a slow start, finished strong in the Spring – were looking for a goalie)
Frisco Fusion(Don’t know much about this team but the won PPL D1 so I’ll give the thumbs up)
NTX Strikers (They can score, hope the defense can hold the lead)

Honorable Mention (Make it to Week 2 but can’t pull it off):

Lady Aztecs(Scrappy team with some speed but needs some size to bust through defenses)
Sting West(A lot of turnover, will they gel in time, need to figure out how to score more)
Dallas Kicks Blue(Struggled at the end of the Spring season, need to score more)
Liverpool Keegan(Toss-up between them and the Strikers, Strikers won the coin flip)

The rest:

LHGCL thanks you for your $800 contribution

5 went to Kicks(3 to Blue, 1 to Gold, 1 to Black)

3 girls from FCD South Blue went to TX Lightning Black

So the one who went to TX Lightening Black was it strictly expansion or did they lose their big middle foot who scored 80% of thier goals, or the only other scoring threat from the outside.....if it is just and updater/expansion. I would expect them to finish in top2.

It was strictly expansion...TX Lightning still has that girl on there squad

I would expect for TX Lightning to be a bit stronger since the 3 that came from FCD South are very strong players and should contribute a lot for them
