Select 08 Boys Blue – Dallas Cup Recap
The 08 Boys Blue team participated in the Dallas Cup last week, achieving notable success throughout the tournament. They began group play with a match against the Houston Dynamo Academy, where the team demonstrated an effective pressing strategy, resulting in a commanding 4-1 victory.
The following day, the team faced DKSC, a formidable opponent characterized by their physically imposing players. Unfortunately, the boys conceded an early goal and were unable to score, ultimately losing the match 1-0.
Shifting focus to the other game in the group, the team needed a Houston victory over DKSC to advance. Fortunately, Dynamo secured a narrow 1-0 win, enabling us to progress to the quarterfinals against Dallas Texans. This match was fiercely contested, with both teams exhibiting strong defensive play. Regrettably, the Texans capitalized on a limited opportunity, scoring a goal with just ten minutes remaining. Despite the boys' determination to equalize, they could not find an answer.
Overall, the coaching staff expressed pride in the team's resilience and the quick camaraderie they developed during the tournament. The Select program staff is enthusiastic about the future potential of this group.
