JV Post-Season starts Thursday

The Lady Vikings JV squad looks to win its 3rd post-season event since 2011 when they take on Ursuline on Thursday in the semi-final at 9:00am.  TAPPS District 1-5A is one of the strongest districts in Texas with quality varsity and JV teams from top to bottom.  It is only fitting to give all the teams a chance to play for something whether it is a State Championship, district championship, or tournament championship.

Nolan Catholic head coach Jay Fitzgerald said, "This event has been quality from the beginning.  The JV teams in this district can beat a lot of varsity teams across the State, so why not give them their own playoff system."

Since 2011 the JV teams have been battling it out during the regular season to qualify for the playoffs and then the best of the best come together to win that post season trophy.

Nolan Catholic won the inaugural event in 2011 and then again in 2012 to become Back to Back Champions.  Ursuline Academy has also won the event two times in 2013 and 2015,  while John Paul took the title in 2014.  The post season games have been exciting with PK shootout wins and overtime thrillers.

Fitzgerald continued, "That is what this is all about, the spirit of good old competition and you don't always have to play at the varsity level to get good competition.  The JV coaches in the district are very good and they provide an outstanding environment for these young ladies to compete."

This years event gets started early Thursday morning with Semi-Final #1 between Ursuline Academy and Nolan Catholic at 9:00am followed by Semi-Final #2 between Bishop Lynch and John Paul II.  The championship match will be played at 3:00pm.

All games will be played at Doskocil Stadium on the campus of Nolan Catholic High School.

New this year, ALL games will be broadcast LIVE presented by @NCHSmedia.
