Good news. I recall watching Aaron play for both UNT and the Dallas Rockets. Rockets often played at Hillcrest Stadium in Dallas...in fact I may still have A Rockets postercaround the house...and I do have a UNT men's soccer brochure created by the athletic Dept. with Aaron pictured.

Brings back great memories of UNT men's soccer. Thanks for this.

I'm assuming the Rockets were a professional team ? My men's soccer intelligence consists only of Pele & Tatu

Semi-pro. Several UNT players and coaches played...owner's son actually played at UNT as I recall. Remember, the UNT men's team was pretty darn good. I recall one year UNT was invited to play in SMU's tournament. Obviously, SMU thought UNT would be an easy W. well, as fate would have it...UNT won the whole thing. Best time in the world sitting outside after the tournament with several of the team members while the SMU team strolled by....they were pretty down while we were enjoying several cold ones and a tourney win. I recall Coach David Hudgell chewing the team out Big Time during the halftime of the first game. I guess it worked!

Good times, good memories!
