Texas Derby Finale
The final Texas Derby of the 2025 season between Houston and North Texas kicks off tonight at 7 p.m., and it’s shaping up to be a battle. A win would seal the derby series for North Texas SC and even the all-time record at 2-2. The last time these two met, Diego García delivered the game-winner in the 87th minute with a brilliant finish. There's a lot on the line this time too with three crucial points up for grabs. With a win, North Texas could jump to third in the Western Conference. For Houston, three points could launch them from ninth to fifth in the standings.
Captain Sam

He’s now just one goal away from tying first place in the Golden Boot race lead. The Chesterland, Ohio native is putting together a rookie season to remember and is quickly making a name for himself in the club’s history books.
