MICHAEL LEEBER
Head Coach | 1/3/2025
The Patriots took on El Paso Burges on 3 January 2025 as they started Gold Bracket play in the SAISD Tournament. The Patriots came out with a desire to close out the day on a positive note and started off strong against Burges. The Patriots were working well as a team as they found a way to move the ball forward with quick passing as they kept Burges on their heels. The Patriots played Burges back and forth in a hard fought game. The Burges unrelenting pressure on the Patriot back line caused the Patriots to make a mistake and Burges were able to capitalize to take the lead. The Patriots went into halftime trailing 1-0. The second half was a battle between both teams as each was able to pressure the other. The Patriot defense would come under fire in the opening minutes of the second half but would hold fast for the remainder of the game. The Patriots found their rhythm offensively to press the Burges back line but the Burges defense responded and kept the Patriots off the board. The final score was 1-0 in favor of Burges. Javier Ortiz had 5 saves. The Patriots next face Burbank to finish out the Gold Bracket on 4 January 2025 at the SAISD Sports Complex.
