TX JUSTICE LEAGUE
TX Justice League is a PSP D-2 X-Ball and NPPL
Semi-Pro team formed in early 2005 originally as a 5-Man team, primarily from
players who played previously on Texas Fire. They will be the main referee
squad for the tournament events. In
2004 most of them refereed the EPL, in 2005-2007 the NTPS and all of them
either do or have worked/refereed at local fields.
2005 – XTPL Series Chanpions – 5 Man Regional
2006 – PSP 5-Man X-Ball Div 3 National Champions
2005 Play by Play
On Saturday, Feb. 26 they took first place at
the Madd Dogz Tournament in Waxahachie (link to pics below). The next day they
took 10th in the first event of the EPL. Two tournaments in one weekend was
pretty exhausting but everyone had a good time. The next event was the 5-Man Regional XTPL
on April 3. There was some good competition out there with Bad Kitty,
Notorious, PBD All Stars, PBD Factory, Darkside, and others (15 total teams).
After a slow start losing their first two games they won all their rest
finishing in first place!. The next
weekend, April 10 they competed in the 5-Man EPL at Fort Paintball.
The boyz placed 4th of 12 teams behind the two Smart Parts teams and PBD All
Stars. 4th was IPOD shuffles and I think everyone was glad to get them. Xdrenaline Zone was the site for the next
XTPL. The weather was hot but they played their hearts out taking second to PBD
All Stars.
They next tried their hand at a national event
traveling to Chicago
for the PSP – with 90 teams for competition in Division III. After the prelims they were 7-1 and in 3rd
place but they dropped two in the semis ending up 13th overall. Deciding to try their hand at 7-Man they
brought on Zach Schonn, Sam Taylor and Terry Watrous and traveled to Denver for the NPPL Super
7. A good start the first day left them
at 3-1 but the next day went the opposite and they did not make the cut but
were 22nd out of the 62 teams participating.
On July 31 they tried their hand at X-Ball Lite
in the Tex-Ball event at Official. They
placed first in this event but had stiff competition from AK Factory who suffered a costly penalty in the
finals.
In September they returned to an XTPL event
placing fifth but maintaining their lead in the series. This was the final event leaving them the
series champion in this local 5-Man DFW series.
2006 Play by Play
In 2006 the teams decided to try their hand at
the PSP series in the new 5-Man X-Ball competition in Division 3 (the highest
division for this style). In February
the first event of the season was played in Round Rock, TX and they finished in
2nd Place
despite the brutally cold weather. In
April they went to Las Vegas
and placed 11th. In June they
played in Chicago
to a 4th place finish. Then
they went on a crazy winning streak with victories in the Southern
California Open, Mid Atlantic Open and then at World Cup which
made them the series champions. In the
later part of the year they decided to become an EVIL Team and are head to toe
Evil while shooting the EVIL minions.
2006 team members included Derek Knight (18) a
senior at Celina High School, Alex Knight (16) a junior at Celina High School,
Vance Wampler (15) a sophomore at Weatherford High School, Keith Cooper (16) a

School , Alex Su (16) a sophomore, Sam Taylor (18) a senior, Matt Campbell (18)
a senior and Casey Greggs (16) junior at Springtown High School Team Manager is Wesley Wampler.
In 2007 we have added Cole Edwards, Blake
Brister, Keith Tinney and Ryan Hicks to the squad.
At the first 2007 PSP event in LA they had a
strong start going 4-0 in the prelims but a lost match on Sunday morning
relegated them to 9th place.
They will soon be at Huntington
Beach for the NPPL.
