GRR: Woodlands
Woodlands won games over Celina and St. Thomas Aquinas over the weekend.
Aquinas was making the trip to Houston in a good warmup for HS National Championships.
It was a good, competitive game but this was also a rolling subs game and provided Woodlands with a chance to test some players.
Perhaps the biggest game of the weekend was just a little touring matchup.
Florida-based Okapi Wanderers, ranked #11 among HS clubs, defeated Woodlands, ranked #1, in Texas. The scoreline was close, 15-10, but close or not it was a remarkable achievement for Okapi.
