VINCENZO COX VIEWS HIS TEAM JUST LIKE HOW A CAR COMPANY EVALUATES ITS TOP-SELLING MODEL.
The car design is ahead of its time, it's winning multiple national awards and everyone wants it. While all that is going on, in the back of their minds, the company is already working on and improving its next model.
Cox is working on his next model of Alief Elsik boy's soccer.
"You want to be that car of the year," Cox, the head coach of the 2018 Class 6A Boys State Soccer Champions, said. "To do that you have to enjoy what's going on the outside of the car but you still have to make sure that the car is the finished product. So, you have to constantly watch and improve."
Elsik is entering unchartered waters in 2019 – playing as defending state and national champions.
But no one is or wanting to talk about last year.
"What happened last year was last year," Elsik junior Andrei Aguirre said. "Now it's our turn for us to make our own chapter, write our own story."
"This is a new team," Elsik junior Mayno Linares added. "It starts all over again."

Green ties career high as Rockets rally to beat the Grizzlies

As we begin another week of MLB free agency, we still haven't seen any movement when it comes to Alex Bregman. Several reports are indicating that the market for Bregman is being impacted by Orioles outfielder Anthony Santander.
The thought being, Santander is expected to command less than Bregman, and teams are waiting to see how his market shakes out before making an offer to Breggy.
Which is interesting, because we're seeing reports about Santander softening his stance on demanding a four or five year deal. It appears he's willing to consider a shorter contract with a high yearly salary.
If that is indeed the case, should the Astros consider moving some salary if they can come to an agreement on a short-term deal with Santander?
In theory, trading Pressly's $14 million contract along with Victor Caratini's $6 million dollar deal could allow them to pay Santander $20 million. Of course finding a club to take on all of Pressly's money may not be realistic, but if they could pull it off, should they do it?
This move would weaken the bullpen and the depth at catcher, but the team still has Caesar Salazar to back up Yainer Diaz. And both Pressly and Caratini aren't likely to be back with the Astros anyway after their contracts expire after the 2025 season.
Should we be worried about the Rangers?
MLB Network's Robert Flores (huge Astros fan) joined the Locked on Astros YouTube channel last week and said he likes the Rangers chances to win the AL West this year, despite Vegas giving Houston better odds to win the World Series. Does he have a point?
Farewell to Justin Verlander
Verlander signed a one-year deal with the Giants last week, so it appears he's played his last game in an Astros uniform. But should we close the door on him being traded to Houston again if the 'Stros need another starter and the Giants are looking to move him at the deadline?
Plus, we share some of our favorite Verlander moments from the team's dynastic run!
Be sure to watch the video above as the guys from Stone Cold 'Stros break it all down! And be sure to share your favorite Verlander memories in the comment section on YouTube.
