Houston, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/16/2012 -- Soccer is a big deal in the Houston Metro area and Scott Tucker, head coach of the Langham Creek High School boys soccer team (The Lobos) is targeting some play off success for the Lobos this season after they reached the play offs for the sixth consecutive year. With the district championship up for grabs coach Tucker is hoping the Lobos can finally make their mark in the play offs for the first time since 2009 when they tied for the district championship.

After a 3-1 victory over Cy Woods last week head coach Scott Tucker told The Cypress Creek Mirror that "This game right here guarantees us no worse than a co-championship, it really put pressure on the teams chasing us because we've kind of been the front runner most of the year." Even though the Lobos have made it through to the post season five team play offs for the last six seasons there hasn't been much for the Lobos to shout about when it comes to success in the play offs, and that is something head coach Scott Tucker wants to address.

When talking about falling at the first hurdle of the play offs in recent years, Langham Creek Lobos head coach Scott Tucker told the Cypress Creek Mirror that "There's a lot bigger task at hand than we're trying to get. Six consecutive years of making the postseason and the last five, we've gone out in the first round. We're trying to get something bigger than that." The Lobos still have a great chance of winning the district championship though, but in order for them to clinch the championship they will need to rely on The Cy Ridge Rams stumbling.

Last season Cy-Fair won the district championship and Scott Tucker will be hoping that Langham Creek's impressive season (17-5A) continues into the post season play offs. Sophomore Midfielder Fernando Hernandez has been one of the stars for the Lobos so far this season scoring some vital goals from midfield. The Lobos will be hoping he can continue his impressive goal scoring record as the play offs get started.
