Hi Dragoners, Congratulations! I am really proud of you guys. I played with/against the two teams (Mud and Tiger) from this area and know how good they are. Tigers train twice a week and Mud recently recruited the best player in the Bay Area, #10 Bob, who can dribble through the entire field and shoot the ball with either foot. It is such a wonderful feeling to share your success. I wish I could be at the Party this Saturday. You know, my heart is always with you guys ...

Zeng Ming and myself need to have a headcount for Saturday's celebration party. Please reply via email to let us know if you are coming, no later than Thuresday. By the way, everyone is welcome for the party. The cost is about $10-$15 per person. We'll bring our own liquors: MoTa, WuLiangYe, beers, etc. Go Dallas, - Chen, Si > -----Original Message----- > From: Chen, Mark > Sent: Tuesday, September 04, 2001 8:01 PM > To: 'swsoccer@rsn.hp.com' > Cc: Dragon (E-mail) > Subject: LA Tournament Summary > > All, > > Team Dallas Dragon is in 3rd place!
