I don't know how many years ago Houston United Director Chuck McCowan and Houston Dream Director Trey Phillips came to me with the idea of putting on an event under my name it was but I always say, "they are the brains" behind the event and I appreciate them thinking enough of me to get it off the ground so let me start with the younger players from the 2031 and 2032
