In addition to the Kelly boys listed by SFA several more boys are currently playing college soccer.

The following schools are in the American Southwest Conference (ASC)

[u]East Texas Baptist University (ETBU) - Marshall, TX[/u]
    *Zachary Barton - Fresh - F - Vidor
    Hunter Clark - Soph - D - Nederland
    Cody Hopson - Jr - GK - Livingston
* - Barton picked up his first collegiate goal in ETBU's game against Austin College last week. Congrats! ETBU also beat defending ASC champion UT Tyler tonight 1-0  :o ;D


[u]LeTourneau University - Longview, TX[/u]
    Anthony Martinez - Jr - GK - Jasper

[u]University of Mary Hardin-Baylor - Belton, TX[/u]
    Scott Poole - Jr - Mid - Lumberton

[u]Texas Lutheran University - Seguin, TX[/u]
    Taylor Reynolds - Fresh - M/F -  Vidor

The following teams are in the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC)

[u]Southwestern University - Georgetown, TX[/u]
    Garrett Bonneaux - M - Soph - LC-M

[u]Centenary College - Shreveport, LA[/u]
    Adam Ghaemmaghami - Mid - Sr - Livingston

    A couple of names were missing on rosters this year. Sad to see Taylor Granato (Lumberton) is not playing for Concordia University this year. Justin Lyons (Lumberton) is also missing from the ETBU roster after an ankle injury during spring training, I believe.

    If anyone was left off or I posted the wrong info, please feel free to add/correct as necessary. It's good to see more boys playing at the next level! Good luck to all!!

    Two former area high school goalies squared off against each other tonight in Marshall, TX as LeTourneau men's soccer took on ETBU. Anthony Martinez (Jasper/LeTourneau) and Cody Hopson (Livingston/ETBU)  were in goal for their respective teams. ETBU came out on top 2-1 in the second overtime.
    Zach Barton (Vidor/ETBU) started for the Tigers and recorded one shot during the game. ETBU is now 2-0 in the ASC and meets Mary Hardin-Baylor and junior midfielder Scott Poole (Lumberton) this Thursday in Belton. Many of these college games can be followed via lie stats and/or live video. See the ASC website or the various school's athletic websites for info on these games.

ETBU also beat UT-Tyler, the reigning conference champs, 1-0 last week.  I guess Jose is finally getting them back together.  They haven't had too many competitive seasons since i played there (not that i was the reason)

    The ETBU vs. UMHB game which featured 4 area boys was a good one. The Crusaders came out on top 2-0. The Tigers look strong this year, bullets13, despite their loss to UMHB.
    Zach Barton's speed kept the Crusaders on their toes all night. I think Cody Hopson was in at GK the second half but not sure. Don't know if Hunter Clark made it in or not. Scott Poole played well for the Crusaders with 2 shots and 1 shot on goal.
    Hope to see all these guys in the ASC playoffs later this year!
