Are You Ready for Some Soccer?

Man on man….time sure passes quick.  It’s time for the Vista Ridge Lady Rangers to take to the soccer fields once again for the upcoming 2009 season.  The two-time defending district champs will face a much tougher challenge to make the playoffs for their 4th consecutive year as they step up to play 5A in arguably one of Texas’ most challenging districts.

The season kicks off Saturday, January 3rd at VRHS with a friendly alumni game.  Katie is planning on coming back from Texas State to play against her archrival - Hannah.  It’ll be interesting to see who get’s the better of each other as I think both had a few deserts over the Christmas holidays.

The season begins in earnest January 9th with the Rangers attending a number of tournaments each weekend during January.  Then district play begins Tuesday, January 27th with a match against rival Leander High school.  The season then features games most Tuesday & Friday nights through March 17th where the Lady Rangers will play against Georgetown, Round Rock, Stony Point, Westwood, McNeil and Leander.

I for one am looking forward to this season as once again I’ll be on the sidelines taking pictures.  This will be the last one for me as Hannah graduates in May and will likely hang up her soccer cleats after the season.   Look for game updates and pictures after each contest.

Go Lady Rangers!
