[PHOTO GALLERY] On The Prowl: Parish Episcopal Panthers Soccer Ready For Competition
The Parish Episcopal Panthers girls' soccer team is ready to get rolling this season as they take on familiar faces and tough opponents. The team, disciplined and resilient, is filled with athletes that you aren't going to want to miss on the field this season. VYPE DFW takes a look at their season ahead:
Jumping into play this season, the Panthers have put forth an effort like no other. This team has continued to showcase their talent on the field. Led by head coach Kevin Smith, the Panthers have been able to strike when necessary in order to secure valuable wins for the team already this season. Opening play with a 3-2 victory over Greenhill followed by an impressive shut-out victory over Fort Worth Nolan Catholic (3-0), the team started out their season with strength.
Despite a 3-1 loss to John Paul II, Parish has been able to bounce right back into action by posting three consecutive victories over Trinity Christian Academy - Addison (2-0), Trinity Valley (6-0), and Episcopal School of Dallas (4-1).
With the holiday break approaching, the team is on a hiatus until January. However, fans can fully expect these athletes to put in the work over the break to return to the pitch geared up and ready for their competition. When the Panthers return they will take on the likes of Ursuline Academy, Prestonwood Christian, Hockaday, Bishop Lynch, and more this season. Be sure you catch them on the field!
SEMIFINALS: Parish Panthers look toward battle against Ursuline
The Parish Panthers are headed into the TAPPS State Semifinal matchup on Thursday against a strong Ursuline squad. With an incredible season under their belts, the Panthers look toward a strong game in Round Rock. VYPE DFW breaks down the season so far and exactly what fans should expect in the semifinal game!
So Far
So far this season, the Panthers have been able to post strong victories against their opponents. Opening their season with a 7-0 victory over Southwest Christian, the team really set the tone and the bar for the rest of the year. This season they have defeated the likes of Trinity Christian Academy, Prestonwood Christian Academy, Fort Worth Nolan Catholic, Bishop Lynch, and more to include Ursuline in an earlier meeting.
Semifinals
Playing strong through the playoffs already- defeating Houston's The Village School and Prestonwood, the Panthers are more than ready to continue on their mission as they face Ursuline again. With a fast-paced offense ready to set the tone and keep the tone for the entire game, the Panthers already know how to score against a tough Ursuline defense. The defense can also be expected to play aggressive from start to finish. Ursuline has an incredible team and it won't be an easy showdown, but if the Panthers remain focused they just might find themselves in the TAPPS State Championship game!
The game is set for Thursday, March 2 with a start time of 3:00 p.m.
