PLAYERS-
In competition holding something in reserve
is a sign that you are afraid to fail.
Champions hate
to lose but they are not afraid to lose.
Don’t
hold back; always give your maximum effort.

HPL Texas Tornados Facility – 02 Feb. 08
Congratulations to both teams for their play in this
weekend’s pool play at the Texas Tornadoes Facility. Your efforts and continued impovement made this an exciting
event. Parents and friends in case you missed this one here is a quick recap.
Shockwave Orange - 3 for 3 is
a incredible feat. Shockwave Orange took command and never looked back. Although all 3 oponents were very
good, the girls stuck together, communicated and made a committment to win at all costs! They turned up the heat and
the competition fizzled. They were led by the excellent play calling and guidance of Coach Michael. Way to go
Shockwave Orange and congratulations on WINNING this round of pool play.
Shockwave Blue - Shockwave Blue took down the "giants" of the tournament. Our
players didn't even flinch as they were matched up against the TALLEST team of the day for the second game. After
"munching" on this team they were then victorious of a very close and "gritty" third game.
The Blue team maximized their own individual strengths and transformed into a "powerhouse team"
When asked for comments, Coach Michael and Dee were all smiles. "The girls stepped up their games and played
like a veteran team. Our players are growing and having alot of fun out there."
Congratulations to Shockwave
Blue for placing 2nd in pool play!

Shockwave "Break Into" Houston Power League Tournament!
Congratulations to the Shcokwave Orange and Blue Teams. If you were unable
to attend the debut of the Shockwave
Club at the Houston Power League Tournament you missed a treat.
Both teams brought their "A" games and showed incredible drive and determination. Each
team faced stiff competition during the first round of pool play. Shockwave Orange faced off at 9am and Shcokwave
Blue faced off at 2pm. How did we do? For now we'll say that the competition is stll "buzzing"
about us! Stay tuned for results and information regarding more HPL pool play later this month.
