Socker Soccer Night, 6

... and that WAS the final score. The Austin Aztex U-23 come from behind to defeat the West Texas Sockers, 1-3, in sort of a reverse of the Sockers' come-from-behind, 2-1 win, Thursday night, over the visiting Rio Grande Valley Bravos.

NOTES ... Could playing back-to-back, consecutive-night games like that have had an impact on tonight's game? ... Tonight's was certainly the strangest-sounding game of the season, so far, with the Mex-Tex Family Fiesta (with it's own announcements and music) going on in another part of Grande Stadium ... the July 3rd game against the Houston Leones, and the July 4th game against the El Paso Patriots will feature fireworks after the game (the Sockers are run by the same people as the Rockhounds, which put on GREAT displays) ...

ONE SOUR NOTE ... Next season, we're moving back and up, away from the front row. It is so hard to enjoy - and, sometimes, even see - a game with all the kids crowding the front railing, standing in front of you, squealing for mini-soccer balls, and t-shirts and bags of peanuts from "P.K." and "Screwball" ...
