[NTXDawg]

For a first class, this looks really good. Multiple 4-year starters. Lots of select players. Good luck to the new lady techsters.

[JAY]

i noticed she went mostly out of state. she can probably get louisiana kids to come to tech on topps and get them to walk on. most of the girls from last year were from louisiana because she had to strictly go with walkons who were already in school and a few transfers.

[DallasDog]

No offense guys, but I coached in Louisiana and I coach soccer currently in Texas. No comparsion of talent levels, in the dallas area alone we have three of the top ranked soccer clubs in America.

If you can recruit California, Illinois, and Texas, and get solid kids you will be top 25 every year.

It is a strong class for a 2nd year program. I know several of these girls and have seen several others up close. I coached girls for three years when I came to Texas, and I am glad to be back to boys. I used to coach in Richardson and the Pearce girl is a good catch.

I ahve two girls who play in the club I coach for that are going to be seniors next year that are D1 talent. I may contact her about them if they continue to improve.

[TYLERTECHSAS]

No comparsion of talent levels, in the Dallas area alone we have three of the top ranked soccer clubs in America.

If you can recruit California, Illinois, and Texas, and get solid kids you will be top 25 every year.

Ditto! Same goes for the men teams.

[DallasDog]

True. My jv team here at Centennial in Frisco is pretty stout and thats being a 2nd year school with no seniors on cmapus till next year. Plus our best players are obviously play varsity. The talent level is just awesome. Makes a coaches job a lot easier when you have good talent.

[DallasDog]

I know there is a huge difference between us and the Aggies program but this just demonstrates the depth of the state and hopefully we will be here one day. The Currie girls are a great package deal.

In fact, many people would rate her as the #1 recruit in America this year. Cydne is that special goal scorer which great teams build around. For us, she will fit right into the way we do things and make us much more dangerous. She has fantastic pace and head-to-head ability, along with a knack of turning half chances into goals. I think we will help her develop into one of the most complete players in America over the course of her career in Aggieland."

Dallasdawg,

You are coaching Centennial's team? Boys or girls?

Where can I get a schedule. My sons U95 team starts practice this week, and I would like them to watch some teams play.

[solo1001]

My sister's select and odp teams in Shreveport had to go to Texas to find the competition. We traveled all over the country for tournaments. Shreveport has some great talent, or had anyway, and could easily be utilized instead of the girls going to Tennessee and Alabama to play soccer after high school.

[Beaver-Dog]

DallasDog, looks like you are the go-to guy on this subject. Hope you are on a first name basis with Soileau. I don't know stink about soccer, but I'm a Tech grad and fan. If we are going to do this, then let's do it right.

How do scholarships work for the girls. Full, partial, or what?



Mike

Flower Mound played Berkner Tuesday night and 4 of the starters managed to lock themselves into the locker room. They were in there for over 1.5 hours and didn't make it out to the game till after haltime. Would have been sooner, but we had to call a locksmith to let them out. Sure hope this one wasn't one of them!!!

[hookdown]

Are there any other women's soccer programs in the state? Sounds like we could be laying the foundation to the be the top soccer team in LA for a long time.

[DallasDog]

LSU has a program coached by Womens National team player and NCAA all time scoring leader Danielle Foutopolous and her husband, who was her coach at Florida.

Mcneese, NLU, ULM, ULL, NWST all have programs too.

The WAC loses prestige when SMU leaves but it will be easier for our ladies to compete in if they start this year.

I am friends with the SMU coaches and it is going to hurt having them leave in this sport.

However of the state programs I believe the only one funded very well and of a solid quality is LSU and they are no powerhouse yet.

Nwst mad ethe NCAA last year by winning the southland I think but got put in a sub regional with SMU Texas and Texas AM.

[DallasDog]

I am coaching the boys side again. I will post the schedule link in a bit. We have had the Caddo Magnet and Shreve girls as well as a few others of the south Louisiana powers over here for tournaments and they hold their own against the middle tier teams but usually get worked pretty ahrd to the upper tier programs.

I don't know coach Soileau really. I talked to her assistant about a diamond in the rough over here that can score like crazy, but doesnt have any help on her club,even though they play in a top division over here, and her high school team is horrible, but I think they already filled their need at forward.

[DallasDog]

DCHI72,

here is the link to the schedule http://www.friscoisd.org/schools/chs_soccer.htm it will take you to our general information page.

Also I would like to tell you about some exciting news for your son. I am the keeper coach for soccer America and we have officially merged with Everton of the English premier league and are set to become the international hub for Everton. We will dissolve Soccer America in May and become Everton America. We will be adding many teams till we reach 45 for the fall season next year. Their coaches and our staff will be putting on a huge media blitz and clinics in June so bring the whole team out and let them meet the coaches and maybe some of the players from England.
