The Coppell varsity hockey team proved themselves as being the best team Coppell has had in a while by beating Southlake Carroll, formerly the number one team in the division, 5-2 last night.
The team’s win last night was crucial for the Cowboys to move up in the rankings and hopefully surpass Southlake when the district games come to an end. The team played a great game, especially considering that Brandon Harley, one of the assistant captains and key scorers for the team was sent to the penalty box for most of the game after complaining about getting a penalty in the first period.
The Cowboys will play six more district games before the season ends on March 4th and playoffs begin. The team’s next game is on Thursday, Feb. 4th at 9 pm, so come cheer them on as they work their way towards the 2010 playoffs!
