Yes.
Black should be very beatable.
DKSC...IDK if they're as strong this year as they were last year.
Yes, we were out there yesterday -- an absolutely gorgeous morning for soccer. Thanks for the feedback on their performance.. those girls have so much heart and they are grinding it out hard to get their 11v11 sea legs. It's a real pleasure to watch them develop and grow through the challenge.

Yes, we joined this year. I'm always keeping an eye out for your daughter's games as we are walking by the older age groups.
well, if you ever see a handsome dude wearing a Boston / Wally's / HastyBake / "Fixins'" ball cap, generally sitting near the end away from everyone, feel free to say hi.
I am usually standing near or sitting in a green chair lol
I’ll be on the lookout! If you spot a couple signing to each other, that’s probably me and my wife. Come say hi
I’m hearing and she’s Deaf, just adding that since it’s not always obvious unless I’m talking to someone else at the same time.
I am refereeing the Blitz tournament. I don't expect many of you on this thread will have your kids out there. 2 games already on Thursday night involving local teams... 1st one is a U13 boys involving 2 WSA sides, 2nd is a U15 girls with 2 FC Tulsa Academy sides. The girls game is going to be 100% better quality than the boys just from looking at it.
And of course looking at the weather, it's Blitz weekend so the Fall monsoon season is scheduled to start. 100% chance of rain on Friday and Saturday.

Without a doubt if it's Blitz Tournament Weekend, prepare to get drenched. Luckily after the NPL regional weekend in June where it rained 12 inches over 3 days, we went out and bought a boot dryer. Used it this past weekend after Saturday (it poured during the 1st half of my 11am game Saturday and my cleats were soaked).
The thing about Blitz is, too much rain on Friday and BASC will close the grass fields and I don't think Blitz can finagle enough games onto the turf fields to keep things running. Looking at the forecast, I am fully prepared that this tournament will be punted by 1pm on Saturday.
It's interesting because in 2013, they were 15th in Texas RL, and in the Pre-ECNL 2014 frontier, they are 5th and haven't won a game. They are losing world beaters like Arkansas and Springfield. In fact, Blitz beat them in that age group. It ain't pretty folks.
How are the TSC 2014s in Texas winning? It can be done as uh, some of you don't seem to believe.
The reality is that the talent is spread out. The girls are at three different places right now: TSC, Blitz, and WSA. They like their friends, coaches, parents, etc. It is natural; I get it.
In many age groups, WSA is 3rd in talent, AND in the best league, it will be U-G-L-Y and lead you to silly conclusions about the inability of Tulsa to perform in Texas.

OEFC teams sit atop the Texas leagues all the time. I am sure they would say, "Why the hell would we need to do that?"
What we really need is for Tulsa players to stay in Tulsa and the best Tulsa kids to play at one club, like what happens in OKC.
It goes back to egos and money. I don't know how OEFC did it, but they managed to. I think there is a little branching out going on, but I am not sure. 13-14 teams in one age group seems nuts for OKC. Dallas maybe. OKC not so much.
It’s extremely rare for any energy team to finish top 3 in the Texas league. I can’t remember when an Energy team finished in that position without an heavy influence of Tulsa talent. I believe the 2011s are currently in the top spot but that team is also a combo team comprised of OKC and Tulsa girls.
TSC caused the top talent to migrate to OKC. Hopefully, WSA can turn that trend around
