The Cypress Falls Boys Soccer Newsletter: For the weeks of January 22-26

What a busy time for the Cypress Falls Soccer Program. After completion of the tournament and non-district schedule the boys are looking forward to the opening of district play this evening against Jersey Village at the Cypress Falls soccer complex. This week’s newsletter contains some information regarding t-shirts, gratitude, recent construction, and the all important game recaps.

T-Shirts: This is your last chance to order the Cypress Falls Adidas t-shirts, but as always the Cypress Falls Booster club has a plethora of eagle gear (hoodies, blankets, etc.) for purchase. Please contact the schools athletic secretary for ordering information.

Gratitude: The teams and coaching staff would like to thank all of the Eagle supporters for their support during the last two weeks. The crowds have been loud and proud but also respectful of everyone on the pitch. Thank you supporters!

Construction: A bulk of the work that has been taking place in and around the soccer complex is finally wrapping up. They are done with the roofing and we are anxiously awaiting the finishing touches on the scoreboard so fans can keep up with all of the goals being scored by their favorite Eagle teams.

Game Recaps:
The Winter Warm-Up:
-The Eagles stepped on the field the night of January 16 not quite knowing what to expect. Their opponent, the Aldine Mustangs were the 2008 19-5A district champs but had lost one or two key players to their 2009 campaign. The Eagles were not let down. The Mustangs were a very technical group that played with a great deal of pace that kept the rhythm of the game high. In both halves Cypress Falls and Aldine both created several good scoring chances but after 80 minutes of soccer, 10 shots a side, and several good saves by the Eagles’ keeper Kevin Suarez the game ended in a stalemate, 0-0.
-The next day the Eagles meet a Spring High team that had knocked off district rivals, The Langham Creek Lobos, the night before. The Eagles however were ready to play and opened up scoring early with two goals from Ricky Paul Mupier in the first half. Ricky would go on to net one early in the second half to complete the hat trick. With the midfield being lead by Elias Cortes and Ezri Soto the Eagles opened up several scoring chances and converted on two, a brilliant header by sophomore Mike Diaz and a penalty kick by Braulio DeLaCruz. Goalkeepers Kevin Surez and Enzo Ramos kept things together in the back to get the Eagles their second clean sheet in a row. Final: 5-0.

Cypress Falls vs. Nederland
-A great team effort resulted in the eagles getting their 5th win of year and staying unbeaten at home. A feisty Nederland team kept the game tight till the finish but the boys in green finished what they started and came away with a 5-2 victory. Elias Cortes, Ricky Paul Mupier, Josh Alcedo, Oscar Camacho, and Mike Diaz all contributed with goals and Fonize Diaz and Luis Ramirez did some nice work off the bench in the second half to preserve the win for Cy Falls.
