The tournament will be the opportunity to bring back a title that the men\u2019s first team missed by a few in a thrilling 2017 final against Chicago Inter. Despite the absence of Florian Schoebinger (professional reasons), the team has prepared diligently to reach this objective, and is ready for the task. \u201cAfter the win in Chicago, everyone\u2019s expectations are high. But, everyone is also aware that only hard work will get us where we want to be\u201d \u2013 says the team\u2019s head coach Danilo Rojevic. The Texas Cup will bring a good blend of competition from all around the country. Beyond the co-organizers, Dallas THC &amp; Houston Firehawks, the event will gather Chicago Inter (defending champion), US Air Force Academy, Texas A&amp;M, Knight Air and a second team of Houston Firehawks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The big novelty of this year\u2019s edition is the addition of a smaller scale women\u2019s game series between Houston Firehawks and San Francisco CalHeat. These now two big rivals will face up four (4) times to determine the first Texas champion. These match ups are also the opportunity to promote women\u2019s handball in the South, and hopefully help put in place a real tournament in the years to come. \u201cWe\u2019re investing in the development of the sport, and supporting our friends from Texas. For Handball to develop in the country we need all regions committed to its expansion and it was clear from the start that we would come to root this event officially\u201d \u2013 says player Michelle Mensing. These series will also bring some new flavor to the table, as it will be the first official match of SF CalHeat women\u2019s head coach, Kristina Alavanja, former professional player in Serbia. The future is bright. Stay tuned\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Dec 1-2, SF CalHeat will participate in the second edition of the Texas Cup in Dallas.
