First Roadtrip of the New Year
In our first road trip of 2011 we had three games, two against New Mexico on Thursday and Friday and one against Amarillo Saturday night.
Thursday night was disappointing in many ways, Coach came up to me before the game and told me that they wanted to give Fitzpatrick our newest defensmen a shot at proving himself because he had yet to have a game under his belt. I was told that I would be sitting out that game, unfortunately my parents had drove down for the game to see me play but i was able to sit with them. We ended up losing the game 6-0 an embarrassing loss to the last place team.
However the next day we came out with a fire under us. We came out hard, dumped pucks, finished hit and were defensively sound. we won in a deciding 4-1 final. Coach was pleased with our 3 period comeback effort and spirits were high going into Amarillo, currently ahead of Wichita falls in the 3rd place seed.
High spirits would not last long however, we blew a 2-1 lead going into the second period in a 6-3 loss to the Bulls.
We have a two game weekend at home against the Bulls this coming weekend. Looking for a much needed four points to tie in the points race with Wichita Falls for the final playoff seed.

Big Sweep Against New Mexico
With a much needed 4 point sweep this weekend against New Mexico, our team has put ourselves back into the playoff hunt with Wichita Falls for the final playoff seed.
In our first game we had a decisive 5-2 Win. As a team we started off really slow and were only up 1-0 at the end of the first. But we came through as a team and I received my first NAHL point with an assist to Brandon Marshall on his empty net goal. Also one of my hits in the first period was voted hit of the game.
In the second game however New Mexico came out with a harder push and we were playing extremely poorly. The first two periods of the game we couldn't make a pass or get anything rolling as a team. Luckily we finally received some help from the officials and scored a power play goal from Beau Walker with seven minutes left immediately following an even strength goal to tie it up. With 15.7 seconds left Beau Walker again buried the puck to win it in a huge last minute come from behind win
Now only 5 points out of forth place in the Southern Division, we go into another weekend with New Mexico, this time at their own barn, immediately followed by another road game against Amarillo.
