Anyone have any info. on this Friday's game. I have read a couple of articles on the opposing team, but do not have a good knowledge beyond that. Thanks.

At one time, they had a former El Pasoan and Patriot on their team. Fast, fast, fast. Played with Kirk Wilson at Coronado and won a state championship in '96, but I cannot remember his name, dangit!

I think he's long gone, and from what I hear it's a very different team even from last season. Even their website doesn't have a current roster. Best bet is the PDL's DFW site (http://www.uslsoccer.com/teams/2007/934453.html).

I remember Paolo Da Silva as being good, although he hasn't scored just yet. Ale Ivo seemed dangerous. I honestly don't remember a lot of the roster up at the USL site.

Nonetheless, it's two matches, back-to-back, on the road. It'll be tough enough.

Mark Rowland!

Phew! Thought I was getting too old, too fast.

Thanks to a 2-2 draw vs DFW, Patriots clinched US Open Cup berth against the only remaining eligible team in their division.

Way to go Pats!

Excellent! Best record in the Southern Conference in qualifiers at 3-0-1. Great job by Chava and the boys!
