Texas Spirit Soccer Club

Feb. 9, Denton, Texas - The Texas Spirit North 01 girls wrapped up a stellar futsal season last night by defeating both the AFC 00 Black and AFC 00 Red teams in the Game On Athletics Winter Futsal playoffs. Looking for tougher competition, in preparation for the Spring Lake Highlands Season, Coach Quen Willis made the decision to register the team in the 00’ Futsal Division. Coach and the girls were looking for tough competition and they found it. The entire season was a battle and the 01 Spirit team found excellent competition with both AFC 00 teams, also Lake Highlands Teams, and plan on scheduling friendly matches with the AFC teams in the future. Tonight’s Championship shows how far the Texas Spirit North 01 girls have come. The team is in their first year of Lake Highlands play and kick the Spring season off next week. Great job and good luck this season ladies!

Texas Spirit North 01 girls did Texas Spirit proud over the last two weeks at the LHGCL Qualification Tournament. The Texas Spirit North 01 girls won their Round II bracket and have officially qualified for Lake Highlands Division I. The girls played hard over both qualification tournament weekends and earned their spot. Congratulations and good luck this coming season.
