Inaugural FWCD Falcon Cup is a Success

ATHLETICS

With limited opportunities for middle school volleyball teams to compete, the FWCD boys volleyball program created the Falcon Cup.

The tournament drew teams from Greenhill School, St. Mark’s School of Texas, Trinity Valley School, FWCD, Excel Volleyball Club, and the Texas Rattlers and consisted of two divisions – A/8th and B/7th – each with seven teams. The divisions were divided into two pools. The four-team pool played two sets against each other to 15, and the three-team pool played three sets against each other to 15. Bracketseeding was based on how each team finished in their pool. While every team made it to bracket play, play at this point was single elimination.

“I was so happy to launch this new tournament. It was a great experience for all the teams, and I loved seeing FWCD teams finish at or near the top of their respective divisions,” said Program Director and Varsity Volleyball Coach Patrick Powers ’05. “Our B team lost in the championship match to Greenhill, and our A team won in the championship match against St. Mark’s.”
