The Opening Regional Dallas 2017

March 5, 2017 by Brad Tollefson Leave a Comment

Today, hundreds of student-athletes from Texas, including four from Lubbock, competed against each other in skill challenges during The Opening Regional Dallas. Several of the players are also considering attending Texas Tech as their college to play division 1 football. Many of the football players are elite enough they will likely play on Sundays in the future. Additionally, it was interesting having the chance to see the Dallas Cowboys new practice facility, The Ford Center at The Star in Frisco.
