Langham Soccer Player Receives High Honor - Langham Creek High School junior soccer player Jade George was named to the 2010 Adidas/Houston Dynamo Elite XI team. This marked the

The honor is only given to 11 players in the entire greater Houston area,
encompassing all of Region III and the three athletic districts from Houston in
Region II.
“It is a great honor to be recognized as one of the top players in Houston by the
Houston Dynamo and Adidas,
” George said. “This honor would not be possible without the support of my outstanding teammates
and the Langham Creek soccer program.
”
George was recognized with the 10 other recipients during halftime of the
Houston Dynamo
’s match against the Colorado Rapids.
George led Langham Creek in scoring and was named the District 15-5A Offensive
MVP in 2009. He is currently an All-Region and All-State nominee.
