Paris Kings Classic Jan. 15-17


Parisian

Recommended Posts

It's a rebuilding year for Paris after a strong senior group graduated. Re-alignment came a year too late for them.

 

Cats are playing in Prosper Showcase this weekend against some tough 5A/6A opponents. Lost, 4-2, to Little Elm today, play Denton Ryan tomorrow.

Didn't get to see a lot of today's games due to basketball. After the win over Pitt, Paris should take Group 1. Group 2 is up for grabs.

First final today as Day 3 begins: Pleasant Grove 1, Denison 0

 

North Lamar and Anna are currently tied, 1-1, with a stoppage in play with just 2:21 left due to an injury to an Anna player. After a long delay, he was able to walk off the field under his own power. NL scored the equalizer with just 13 minutes remaining.

Trophies will be given out to the two group champions.

Exciting finish to Paris match. Cats score on long throw-in with 5 seconds left to beat Greenville, 3-2. It's one of those windy soccer days when everyone can, and usually does happen.

Glad to be able to do it. Don't think any of these teams are serious challengers for state finals, at least not yet, but it was a pretty level tournament field and I liked the format of having 2 group champions. Makes for a fair setup, and you don't get those awkward rematches.

Pleasant Grove will fare much better against schools closer to it's enrollment of 623 than it did in previous years, as would anyone, but they also have a better side to work with than last year.

They defeated the alumni 3-2 in the annual scrimmage, even though the score was skewed by a winning goal that was scored on a varsity keeper playing for the alumni by a star PG player.

That said, they will be looking good in the fight for district. Pittsburg remains the nemesis on that road. I think that they will contest hotly for the title, and Atlanta and LE will go 3 and 4.
