Regional Rivalry with Western TX

This past Friday the teams took on regional rival Western TX here at home. The girls played hard and had numerous chances each half to get the much deserved win; however, just came up short after Western scored two goals late in the second half.

The boys made program history by beating Western 3-2; it is the first time ever the boys team has knocked off WTC! Charles Ojeda got things started with a goal in the 2nd minute off a freekick taken by Jose Jaimes. At halftime it was 1-1 and then we went down 2-1; however, the second half and the day would always be Hill's, Charles Ojeda sent in a great cross to Gabe Vera who finished it off with what could be described as a diving header. Then Charles Ojeda added to his tally by scoring the game winner in the 72nd minute and giving him two goals and an asisst on the day; he now has three goals and an assit in the the last three games!

Everyone played with heart on Friday and showed the program motto of faith and patience. The coaching staff is extremely proud of both teams!

Big Road Trip to Oklahoma

Both teams travelled to Oklahoma this past Saturday to play Northern Oklahoma. It was a long trip taking over 5 hours to get there; however, you wouldnt know by the way both teams played. The girls started the day off with what could be their best performance all year. Dani Garcia scored the first goal from 20+ yards out and the girls fought the whole game. Even when the girls went down a man in the first OT period they continued playing great and finished the game after 110 minutes 1-1 draw. Great job ladies.

The boys then followed with an offensive explosion; scoring 4 goals in the first 30 minutes. Gabe Vera opened the scoring with a great finish from Michael Solis' pass. Then Preston Haught had a great one touch pass to Nick Zuniga who finished the play off with a even better shot. Gabe Vera then got his second goal of the game from a shot over 25+ yards out. Charles Ojeda then finished Northern Oklahoma off with a one touch shot from 25+yards to the far upper ninety of the goal. The boys then just maintained the game and never let NOC back into it. Great job boys!

Lady Rebels get Win #4 in a row

The women's team beat NTCC on Tuesday 4-1. Even a down a player for the majority of the game the women dominated the game and came away with their fourth straight win. Job well done ladies! Here are some pictures from the past few games; thank you to Kallie's mom for your support and pictures!

Strong Friday Night Showing

This past Friday night the teams traveled to Paris JC and came away with some good results. The women got their 3rd win in a row after beating the Lady Dragons 2-1; both goals were from sophomore Ariel Marroquin. The women were able to score in the first three minutes of the game and held Paris to only one goal; a season low for them. The men had a very rough start to their game; after numerous calls going against them including a PK and a red card; the men were down 2-0 at halftime and down a man. In the first two minutes of the second half the men got a goal back off an acrobatic bicycle kick from freshmen Jackson Weddle. The men dominated the second half down a man and nearly scored the equalizer numerous times; however, were not able to get the goal we needed and ended losing 2-1. The staff considers this a win in our book because of how good the boys played down a man with everything going against us. Job well done for both teams!

Rivalarly Day versus Ranger College

One of the biggest rivalries we have is with Ranger College and both teams were able to come away with the first conference win of the year. The women won their game 5-1 and the men won their battle 1-0. This is always a tough game because of Ranger's determination and desire to knock us off. Each of our teams continue their winning streak over Ranger to 4 games now spanning back to 2012!The girls improve to being 2-2 on the year and 1-0 in conference; while the men improve to 3-0 on the year and 1-0 in conference, one of the best starts in men's history!

            We Will Win                             Faith and Patience

2013 Season off to a good start

The 2013 season kicked off the other week with away game at Nationally ranked Richland College in Dallas. The women took on #5 Richland women and almost came away with a great win but fell short in the dying minutes of the game; the men took on #6 Richland men and began the season with a great double OT win 1-0. This is the second year in a row the Rebel men have knocked off Nationally ranked Richland; this time we did at their place. It looks like it could be a strong year for both Rebel Soccer teams as we look to make history and claim both Region 5 titles. Training Camp was a lot of hard work and #faithandpatience we hope to see that hard work pay off in the month of November!
