Soccer Notes: Brownsville Veterans-Pace matchup needs nickname

Perhaps it's time.

Considering their geographical proximity and the fact they're now in the same district, maybe it's time for athletic competitions between Brownsville Veterans Memorial and Pace to have a name defining their emerging rivalry.

On the other side of the city, Porter and Lopez have the "Battle of Southmost" as a unique description for their matchups in all sports. So why not give a name to the same athletic matchups between the Vikings and Chargers - something like the "West End Rivalry" or "Battle of Military Highway."

There are obviously some better candidates out there that would enable the two schools to make the athletic competition against one another in all sports definitive as well.

Regardless of what their emerging rivalry may be called, the boys and girls soccer teams of Pace and Brownsville Veterans played District 32-5A openers Tuesday at Pace.

It was a good night for Brownsville Veterans as the Lady Chargers won 1-0 and the Chargers rallied to triumph 2-1.
