I’ll participate in a new team, the Spring Branch, TX, Lions.

We recruited enough players to fill out a roster and named the team the Spring Branch Lions, an area of Houston, TX, where we grew up.
Spring Branch is more than a place; it shaped who we are. We chose the nickname “lion” because it’s fierce, the king of the jungle. Red and white are our colors, and we chose red because it is the strong color on the Texas and U.S. flags.
I’m excited to see where our team will go!

About Matthew Paris
I grew up an avid Houston sports fan. After graduating from Texas Tech University in Theater and English Literature I worked as a marketing rep and coach for I9 Sports, coaching baseball, flag football, soccer, and basketball. I’m currently with Austin Sports Academy as a marketing coordinator, baseball and football coach, and coordinator of middle school and high school open play nights. I’ve written three short films for Looknow Productions and have also written articles on film marketing, producing, and directing. I really enjoy writing about sports and being an active contributor to The Sports Column.
