TAPPS JV Championships; Varsity host St. Pius X

The TAPPS JV Championships get underway today at Gateway Park in Fort Worth.  The Lady Vikings secured the top seed going into the event with a 5-0-1 district record.

It has been a busy year for the Lady Vikings and 2 tournaments, non-district matches, a couple scrimmages, and their usual 1-5A opponents have put them at a 12-2-2 record looking for their 3rd TAPPS JV Championship in 4 years.

"These championships are huge for these young ladies; not only do they get to play for a district title, they get to play for a post-season tournament championship as well," commented head coach, Alex Mechalske.

The post-season tournament was created to put the junior varsity teams in an environment to compete for a championship, to have a post-season, and to play for their school, which is no different then what the varsity teams compete for.

Both semi-final matches kick-off at 11:00am, with semi-final #1 seeing #2 seed, Ursuline take on the #3 seed John Paul II.  The Lady Vikings play in semi-final #2 against the 4th seed, Bishop Lynch.

The winners will take to the field at Nolan Catholic's, Doskocil Stadium at 5:00pm this evening with the TAPPS JV Championship on the line.

The varsity take to the post-season as well this week as they play host to Houston St. Pius X on Friday afternoon at 2:00pm.  Houston St. Pius X finished 5th in District 3, losing out to Duchesne Academy last night in PKs.

Friday's match marks the bi-district round of the TAPPS Division I Playoffs.
