On the weekend of March 6th and 7th we had a home stand against The Amarillo Bulls, in both games we had a disappointing two losses. We lost 5-1 and 4-1 and after that weekend Wichita clinched the last playoff spot we were fighting for.
In the next weekend the team had trouble in the first game finding motivation to play after losing our chances at playoffs and we lost 5-1 against the Tornado. In the next game we had a fire lit under us and brought Texas into OT with a 6-6 tie. Unfortunately we could not finish in a Shootout and lost 7-6.
Now we are in a battle with New Mexico to not finish in last place in our division. They are currently 4 points behind in the standings. We have five games left one against the Tornado, two against the Bulls, and the last two against New Mexico at home!

Another Nail-Biter in Amarillo
With the regular season winding down, last weekend's contests vs the Bulls still have us in a playoff race with Wichita Falls.
We lost our first game 7-3 to Amarillo last Friday. We started off the game fairly well as the score was tied at 1 after the first and through half the second period. Both Jacob Diamond and I fought in the second trying to get something rolling for our team but the deficit grew to 4-2 at the end of the second. During the third period it all fell apart the final score at 7-3 L.
The second game was a thriller however, neither team had more than a one goal lead the entire game and as we tied it to go in to Overtime. Even in OT the game was far from uneventful. Four Penalties were called during the period. After killing off a 5-3 disadvantage we sent it to a shootout. Copley stood on his head and we won 2-0.
We face the Bull again Sunday and Monday still nine points behind Wichita Falls

Breast Cancer Awarness weekend VS the Tornado
Last Thursday and Friday we hosted the Texas Tornado for our Breast Cancer Awareness weekend in Corpus Christi. Unfortunately the weekend could have resulted better with such a special occasion and such valuable points at stake in our playoff hunt.
Thursday night we fell 6-3 to the Tornado. From the very beginning of the game the entire atmosphere of the game was slow, neither team had much to show for at all but, after a 7 hour road trip from Dallas, we should have gained the upper hand immediately but we failed to do so and Texas took advantage.
Friday night was much of the same until the third period where we came back from a 3-1 deficit to tie the game 3-3 at the end of regulation. However, 12 seconds in to overtime. Off a seemingly harmless play one lone Tornado player came behind Copley and scored on a wrap around attempt. However we did pick up a much needed point for making it into overtime.
After the game on Friday we had our Jersey auction for our "Pink in the Rink" custom jerseys to help raise money for Breast Cancer Awareness. With all the money raised put together we came up with $24,250 all going towards the American Cancer Society!
We are now 9 points behind Wichita Falls with 11 games remaining going into the Top Prospects Tournament. Good Luck to Beau Walker and Michael Benedict who were selected from our team to attend!
