LHGCL D1 Preseason Rankings!

2. FCD Grubb (too reliant on one player, even if she is best in league)
3. DT South (good before and sounds like good recruiting summer)
4. Solar Red (had injuries last year, if the 03 SRSA kids play up, then move to 2)
5. Rush (neck and neck with DT South in past, will they keep pace)
6. Solar Pulp (new coach usually gets fresh energy out of kids)
7. Sting Rez (defense wins games, could finish as high as 4)
8. FCD Blue (can they keep the good momentum for spring and stay up?)
9. Andro (will fight relegation, rough and tumble team)
10. Feet (hard to see them stay up)

People posting seem to think Pulp will be a magical coach. That will be the interesting story line for me to watch. If Pulp finishes 3rd or higher, he will live up to the rep. 3 through 9 is pretty darn close.

Do you mean anything less than #10?

Nothing against Chris P.  but I wouldn't necessarily attribute this team finishing 3-9 to him.  He has acquired an extremely talented team who had an excellent technical coach developing them the last few years.  They lost a couple of good girls but have pretty much stayed in tact even with Gio's departure.  I'd say if they finish anything LESS than top 10, it would be a serious lump to the new coach's rep.  Again...I know nothing about him...but come on, he has gotten an already fantastic team to work with here.

Chris Pulpaneck is a Great Coach, he was voted Coach of the Year last year from North Texas Soccer association.  Do a little research for yourself. He Does have a magic wand.

1. Andromeda
1. D'Feeters
1. Dallas Rush
1. Texans South
1. Dallas Texans
1. FCD Blue
1. FCD Prem
1. Solar Pulp
1. SRSA
1. Sting

If I were to go by scrimmages held within the last few weeks I would have to say SRSA (with the 03's) is better than all of these teams at this moment. Just ask Higgy.
