LVS17 Opening this week

The 2016-2017 TAPPS season officially begins today across the state.  The Lady Vikings have a bye tonight and will head out on the road on Thursday to open up district against Ursuline Academy.

"We are in our 15th week at this point and we just want to get out an kick someone else," LVS Head Coach laughed.

The Lady Vikings announced the varsity and junior varsity teams at the end of October with a total of 42 players between the 2 teams.   The varsity team returns 15 letter-winners from last season and of those 15, 8 of those are seniors.  Fitzgerald continued, "We are always pretty consistent but this year we are overly excited about both groups... we have great talent and leadership not just with our varsity but with our JV as well."

The varsity will hit the road to kick off the district season at Ursuline on Thursday at 6:30pm.  The JV will be competing at the 9th Annual Liberty Christian Varsity Tournament starting on Thursday where they will take on Prince of Peace at 1:50pm.  The event continues through Friday and into Saturday.

The TAPPS season consists of 8 teams throughout the DFW area which includes 14 games for the varsity.  The JV team only have 5 teams within the district that have JV programs.  The rest of the season schedule includes UIL public schools in non-district and tournament action throughout the season.
