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!

The Next Step

The regular season has come to an end and both teams achieved the goals they set for themselves such as the first ever winning season for the men's program. The girls also achieved a program high for wins, goals, shutouts, and best record ever. "I am extremely proud about what the players have achieved so far this year and can not wait for the post-season to begin next week with the Regional Tournament" says Coach Davenport.

We all believe that we can continue on and make program history with both teams; by having the men win their first ever Regional title and have the women win their first ever District title. The boys will play Ranger in a very heated semifinal match at Cisco next Tuesday at 4PM; the girls play their semifinal versus Western TX next Thursday in Cisco at 4PM. If the each team wins the men's final would be against Western TX next Thursday after the women's semifinal; the women would play their final next Saturday versus Cisco at 6PM.

Dallas Christian is no match.

Both soccer teams had a great day yesterday; beating the 4 year school Dallas Christian. The girls got things started by winning 9-0 and the guys followed that up with a 3-0 win. Both of our teams not only shut out Dallas Christian but also did not allow a shot in both games! We had multiple scoreres in each game and we are looking sharp going into tomorrows big road trip at Ranger!

Lets keep moving forward and continue to win; in everything we do!

New Month; Same Story Winning!

It has been a little while since we updated the blog; sorry for that but we have been enjoying the season with both teams. The girls are continuing their goal scoring ways; at the moment we are ranked #4 in the stats for the whole nation with 60+ goals scored in only 9 games. The girls also have a record of 8-1 with our only loss coming to nationally ranked team. The guys have maintained good health which is vital for the rest of the season; a lot of players have gotten playing time and shown great things such as we are a very talented team.

Both teams begin the month of October with one goal in mind and that is to win Region IV. The girls last won the region in 2008 and the guys have never won; however, things are looking great and everyone is continuing to buy into our philsophy of "WE WILL WIN" in both the classroom and on the soccer field.

Lets go Rebels!!

Rivalry with Ranger

Yesterday was a true test for both teams; as we took on one of our bitter rivals Ranger College. The women got things started off with a great victory 5-1 and showed great discipline by managing their emotions when things started to get a little physical. The win keeps the ladies undefeated on the year and we are now ranked #3 in goals for the whole nation!

The men then followed that up with an awesome performance; after being down at halftime 1-0 and off what the Ranger coached called "the best cross for a shot ever" the boys got it together and came out and scored in the first minute of the second half. It took all 29 guys to pull off the comeback victory and won 3-2 in the end over a very emotional and hard fought game.

We Will Win! Very proud of everyone!

Start with a Sweep!

Yesterday the Hill Soccer program played Paris JC in the opening match of the 2012 season. The women got things started by completly dominating their match; scoring seven un-matched goals for a 7-0 victory. The Paris women did not get a shot off all game; way to go ladies.

The men then followed that up with a very controlled victory 2-0 over the Paris men. It was a team effort all the way around; the Paris men wanted to give it all they had and the Rebels were able to maintain compusre and finish them off with two goals.

The women's and men's teams let their personal mottoes be heard "WEWILLWIN" and "Welcome to DaHill".
