The Texas Stampede wheelchair rugby team, defending national champions, has been making waves at the 2024 US WRA National Championships in Tampa, Florida. With a flawless 3–0 record entering day two of play, they've demonstrated their prowess on the court. However, today's matches posed formidable challenges, including facing off against the number one seed, WWAR Generals, and the TIRR Texans.
Coach Gabriel Garcia reflected on the day's matches, stating, "We had two good, difficult games today. Unfortunately, we lost to tournament host WWAR in our morning game. We were able to clean up a few things and punch our ticket to championship Sunday against in-state rivals, the TIRR Texans." Despite setbacks, the Stampede remains determined and focused on their ultimate goal.
With a victory today, the Stampede secured their place in the championship rematch tomorrow against the WWAR Generals. Game time is set for 12:30 PM and will be live-streamed on WWAR's YouTube channel (@WWAR15). The team's qualification for the finals sets the stage for an intense showdown as they strive to reclaim the championship title.
