Congratulations to the 97 Boys
The SA United 97 Black boys team traveled to Houston this past weekend in style. The boys rented a 15-passenger van and pretty much stayed attached at the hip the entire weekend. The obvious focus was team bonding and the results did not fall short. The boys finished the weekend 2nd place and returned to San Antonio undefeated. Player of the Tournament is Zach Word playing the goalie position with zero error’s and vocally leading his teammates in every match. The boys scored 8 goals over the weekend with no one player dominating the net. A much needed team get away for the 97 Black!!!!!

91 Boys finish 2nd in State
What a weekend for the 91 boys, after loosing their first game 1-0 in a horrible wind controlled game, the boys came out firing in the 2nd and 3rd games winning 4-0 and 3-0 respectfully for maximum points. Despite these two magnificent wins and leading the way in goals scored and against, they came in 2nd on 20 points with the winners sitting on 21 points. What a journey it has been for these boys, coming up from the depths of D2 when they began several seasons ago to now competing at the highest of levels in a State Championship! The boys will finish out their careers with SA United in the Spring playing at the top of their game! Great work!
