From yesterday's Ft Worth newspaper, front page of the sports section, above the fold, across all columns -- Grapevine rallies back to win!
It was questionable whether this team would advance from District. They did.
General consensus: this team would not advance out of Regionals. They did. By beating their "regionals' nemesis": Midlothian.
Not in a million years did we think they would win in the state semi-finals and advance to finals. They did.
In a state this big, where it takes all day to drive from the southeast corner (McAllen) to the northwest corner (Amarillo) -- 10 hours 50 minutes -- and of the hundreds of 5A schools which Grapevine plays, it will end the season either first or second. Truly amazing.
Ironically, Olivia attends this school, not for soccer which she lives and breathes, but for the academics.
On another note, of all the "big" cities in Texas, San Antonio is the most vibrant, most exiting. #2? The DFW metroplex. 3rd? Probably Austin.
