Lady Vikings take on the Nation's #1; JV at GCISD

LVS has a busy week with the JV at the GCISD JV Invitational and the varsity hosting the National Elite Prep Showcase which is arguably the top showcase in the country.  Speaking of top, the varsity takes on the countries #1 team, the Cathedral Catholic Dons from San Diego.

Nolan Catholic has Big 12 college commits and Cathedral has PAC-10 college commits.  Nolan Catholic has top Dallas/Fort Worth club players that have won National Championships and the Dons have top club players from Southern California that have also won National Championships.  Nolan Catholic is home and Cathedral Catholic is 1,358 miles from home.  The Lady Vikings are 8-2-0 and the Dons are 11-0-0.

"This is an opportunity, an opportunity these players and this program continues to earn," said Nolan Catholic head coach, Jay Fitzgerald, "we need to learn to appreciate these opportunities and fight like heck for each other in these moments."

The NEPS event runs through Saturday afternoon.  The Lady Vikings will take on Belton and Fort Bend Clements as well, in the event.  The Friday schedule has been adjusted and each team will only play 1 game instead of the original 2.  The Friday morning matches have been moved and all games will start at noon that day.  For more information on the event and for updates CLICK HERE.
