North Texas State Tournament of Champions Finalists!
  Blazing through the preliminaries and outscoring opponents by a combined total of 14-1, the boys from Burleson rocketed to the top of their U10B bracket. After losing their right halfback to a groin pull and their left halfback to a 102 degree temperature, the Rockets continued through he playoffs racking up more points and wins against some very tough opponents. When they reached the championship game they found themselves still missing their left halfback and their right halfback still hindered by the groin pull. Nevertheless, the players stepped it up a notch and showed the determined resolve that has characterized this team for the last 7 years. After 50 minutes of play and two grueling overtime periods, the game was tied at 2-2. The Gators finally pulled off the win on the 6th penalty kick. Congratulations Rockets! Playing under tough circumstances, you still managed to fight your way to the top of the pack and demonstrated the strength, tenacity, athleticism, skill, and tactical intelligence that has resulted in your new title – the 2004 North Texas State Tournament of Champions Finalists!

They did it again - Waco Champions!
    The Rockets made their annual trek to Waco to participate in the Samuel Adams Tournament - one of the toughest tournaments in North Texas.  Outscoring opponents 32-1 in the preliminaries, the Rockets went on to defeat the Irving Strikers in the semi and advanced to the finals where they met their friendly rivals - the Waco Galaxy.  After a 0-0 tie at halftime, the Rockets game alive to put 2 on the board quickly.  Galaxy followed close behind with a fantastic PK shot and another goal to tie it 2-2.  After two 5-minute overtime periods the game was still tied 2-2.  Rockets came down to the 6th shooter before winning 5-4 in the "shots from the mark".  Congratulations boys - your intelligent play this season is producing absolute domination in tournament and rec play.

The Rockets only allowed 1 goal during the preliminary round and outscored opponents during the tournament by a total of 31-4. They continued their push through the semis and into the finals where they fought through one of their toughest games ever. With two players injured and out, the Rockets battled with no subs to push the finals game against Dallas East Boca into overtime. Still tied after the two overtime periods, the Rockets went on to outscore Boca 2-1 in the shootout. Congratulations boys - the hard work is paying off!
