Hidalgo
Foundation gets
community boost
By Kristian Jaime
[email protected]
For a over 1,000 families who
find themselves in the Bexar County
Children’s Court, life is about to get
brighter.
Thanks to the two gifts to the Hidalgo Foundation of Bexar County,
addition financial support will aid
Bexar County Children’s Court in a
host of programs designed to reunite
kids with loving families.
The Baptist Health Foundation is
contributing $250,000 and the Katherine C. Carmody Charitable Trust
of the San Antonio Area Foundation is giving $50,000. The Early
Intervention Program will focus on
families with children from birth to
3 years old who have become involved in the child welfare system.
“10 years ago, we started the
Bexar County Children’s Courts
and I could tell that the Baptist
Health Foundation really worked
hard to choose the right area foundations with which to give money,”
said Tracy Wolff, president and
CEO of the Hidalgo Foundation of
Bexar County.
Issues like drug addiction, alcoholism, mental health issues and
abuse to name a few can all be
reasons why Bexar County Children’s Court might intervene. The
goal is not to remove the children
permanently, but to make the family unit stronger as a whole through
education and counseling.
The mission of the Early Intervention Program is to reverse the
negative effects by reunifying inTracy Wolff, president and CEO of the Hidalgo Foundation of Bexar County explained the impor- fants and toddlers with responsible
tance of continuing the mission of early intervention programs in the Bexar County Children’s Court parents who are better equipped to

children.

“Thank you to the Baptist Health
Foundation. This is the first time
we have received a donation from
them. Also, the San Antonio Area
Foundation is an incredible organization that truly knows the need of
our city,” Wolff continued.
The structure of the program will
be modeled after the successful
Family Drug Court, through which
participants receive counseling,
treatment for drug and alcohol
abuse, and assistance with housing,
employment and education.
Dealing with the far-reaching
consequences of these issues involves not just community resources like addiction counseling
and parenting workshops, but also
the Office of the District Attorney in
their prosecution of criminal cases.
“This grant started with a feasibility study [on the Children’s Court].
So the Baptist Health Foundation
did its homework and we did ours.
We documented the need and urgency for a program like this and
why it’s cutting edge,” said Judge
Peter Sakai of the 225th District
Court.
In 2012, there were 26,342 children under the age of 3 years old in
Texas who were confirmed victims
of abuse or neglect; that number nationally is nearly 200,000 children
per year. In Bexar County, there are
approximately 1,000 children each
year in this age category who are
confirmed victims.
“We want to help parents while
they are in the civil courts so they
don’t end up with criminal offenses,” said District Attorney Nico
LaHood. “This program gives us an
opportunity to help parents restructure their lives, keep their families
together and end the cycle of abuse
and neglect.”

Líderes internacionales inspiran a mujeres en San Antonio
Por Lucy Almanza
[email protected]
La actriz America Ferrera, la
activista de los derechos humanos
Yeonmi Park y la renombrada
periodista María Hinojosa fueron
algunas de las mujeres que llegaron a San Antonio el martes
para protagonizar “Women in the
World Texas”.
La organizadora Tina Brown,
presidenta y CEO de Tina Brown
Live Media, fundadora de The
Daily Beast y ex editora de la revista Vanity Fair, fue la anfitriona
del evento junto con el presidente
del 3N Group Guillermo Nicolas
y la gerente de la ciudad Sheryl
Sculley.
“Cada mujer tiene una historia
y sus historias tienen el poder
de cambiar el mundo,” expresó
Brown.
Cientos de mujeres, incluyendo
a la alcaldesa de la ciudad Ivy Taylor, se dieron cita al histórico St.
Anthony Hotel para escuchar las
opiniones e impactantes historias
que relataron las invitadas especiales, incluyendo temas sobre la
educación, inmigración, seguridad
nacional y derechos humanos.
“San Antonio ejemplifica a
‘Women in the World Texas’
ya que tenemos muchas mujeres
apasionadas y poderosas liderando
a nuestra ciudad, las empresas, las
comunidades y los hogares”, dijo
la alcaldesa Taylor. “Este año,
el evento seguramente elevará e
inspirará a todas nuestras mujeres
líderes una vez más”.
Uno de los temas de mayor
impacto durante el evento fue, sin
duda, la historia de la joven de 22
años de edad que se fugó de Corea
del Norte para contar lo que fue
vivir bajo el régimen represivo de
la dinastía Kim.
Yeonmi Park ahora cuenta su
historia de supervivencia y se ha
convertido en una activista de
derechos humanos reconocida
mundialmente.
Otro tema de gran interés fue
el que compartieron la periodista
María Hinojosa y la actriz Ameri­
ca Ferrera, junto con Lavinia
Limón, presidenta y CEO del Comité de Refugiados e Inmigrantes
de los Estados Unidos y Celina de
Sola, co-fundadora de Glasswing
International, sobre los miles
de inmigrantes que huyen de la
violencia que se está viviendo en
Centroamérica.

UIW celebrates the Fall Class of 2015
Special to La Prensa
Last Sunday, University of
Incarnate Word (UIW) President
Dr. Louis J. Agnese, conferred
degrees to nearly 1,000 professional, doctoral, graduate and
undergraduate students making it
the university’s largest fall commencement to date.
The ceremony was held in the

The commencement address,
delivered by Moody Professor,
Dr. Elda Martinez, stressed the
importance of education noting
that in the UIW Fall Class of 2015

33 percent earning a bachelor’s
degree were first-generation and
24 percent of graduate degrees
conferred were to first-generation
students. Martinez, a professor
in the Dreeben School of Education is a first generation college
graduate.
The professorship, established
in 1971, by the Moody Foundation reflects the recipient’s level
of scholarship, teaching excellence and community service.
The Moody Professor is the faculty member chosen to lead the
faculty and carry the University
Mace. The Commencement address to the December graduates
is traditionally delivered by the
Moody Professor whose address
is often considered the students’
“last class.”
Martinez serves as Director of
Teacher Education and Professor
of Education in the UIW Dreeben School of Education. She
earned her Ed.D. in Organizational Leadership from Columbia
University’s Teachers College
and her M.A.T. and B.A. with a
special education concentration
and teaching certification from
Trinity University.
Prior to UIW, Martinez taught
elementary and middle school
students in the San Antonio Independent School District. Martinez
was the UIW 2011-2014 Sister
Theophane Power Endowed Chair
in Education and is the recipient
of the 2015 Ben E. Coody Distinguished Service Award presented by the Texas Association
of Teacher Educators.
The 2015 Alumna of Distinction for Service in Mission was
Rebecca “Becca” Brune. In 1991,
Brune earned a Bachelor of Arts
in Political Science from UIW,
graduating magna cum laude. She
was an international exchange
(Courtesy photo)
student in Kumamoto, Japan, attending Kumamoto University and
attended Carnegie Mellon University, School of Public Policy and
Management.
After graduation, as a Woodrow
Wilson Fellow, Brune earned a
master’s degree in public affairs
from the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University, graduating with
honors. In 2009, as a Bill Greehey
Scholar, Brune earned a master’s
degree in business administration
from the Bill Greehey School of
Business at St. Mary’s University
in San Antonio, Texas, commissioned as a distinguished graduate.
A Baccalaureate Mass was
held for all graduates Saturday,
Dec. 5 in the Alice P. McDermott

Antes de ir de compras navideñas
chequeé su informe de crédito
NAPSM. Se estima que las
ventas navideñas de la temporada 2015 aumentarán entre un
3 y 4 por ciento, de acuerdo a
evaluaciones de parte de varios
expertos de la industria. Esto es
un tanto menos que en el 2014
pero mayor que el promedio
decenal del 2.5 por ciento de la
National Retail Federation (La
Federación de Ventas al Por
Menor).
Pero antes de sacar su tarjeta
de crédito esta temporada, tome
control de su situación financiera. Esto significa obtener una
copia de su informe de crédito
para ver y medir sus obligaciones de pago antes de las fiestas
de fin de año. Los consumidores
pueden obtener una copia gratuita de su informe de crédito
de cada uno de los tres burós
de crédito nacionales: Equifax,
Experian y TransUnion. Para
obtenerlos visite annualcreditreport.com.
“Es mejor revisar lo que usted debe actualmente antes de
agregar mayores deudas y dañar
su presupuesto”, remarcó Stuart
K. Pratt, presidente y CEO de la
Consumer Data Industry Association (Asociación de la Industria de Datos sobre el Consumidor). “Muchos consumidores se
pierden en el espíritu navideño
y se enfocan solamente en los
regalos que quieren comprar
para sus amigos y familiares.
Luego llegan las facturas en
enero cuan­do se dan cuenta de
que hay que pagar las facturas.
Tener un presupuesto para gastos basado en obligaciones de
crédito corrien­tes es una manera
mucho más responsable de hacer
las cosas”.
Otro beneficio de repasar
su informe de crédito es para
asegurarse de que todo está en
orden antes de ir de compras al
centro comercial. Si usted ve
algo incorrecto en su informe,
entonces tendrá suficiente tiempo para corregirlo. Notifique al
buró de crédito sobre cualquier
problema. El buró le enviará
toda la información pertinente al
prestamista y luego le informará
cómo se resolvió el problema.
Pratt agregó que alentar a los
consumidores a que obtengan
una copia gratuita de su informe
de crédito es parte de una iniciativa mucho mayor para los
consumidores llamada National
Consumer Assistance Plan (Plan
de Asistencia Nacional para el
Consumidor), implementada por
los burós de crédito nacionales.
“Ya que solo un tercio de
los consumidores obtiene su
informe de crédito anual gratuito, nuestra meta es alentar a
los consumidores e incrementar
este porcentaje. Obtener su informe de crédito es clave para
comprender mejor sus finanzas
personales”, dijo Pratt. También remarcó que los estudios
demues­tran que manejar las deudas y otras obligaciones crediticias es un factor clave para
la seguridad financiera a largo
plazo. La campaña se lanzará en
el curso de los próximos años.

Ballet San Antonio mesmerizes in ‘The Nutcracker’
By Christina Acosta
[email protected]
This season, Ballet San Antonio
has come in full swing to bring both
children and adults extra holiday
cheer with a show that adds Christmas spirit to all.
Ballet San Antonio’s debut of
“The Nutcracker,” was an unstoppable show on opening night for all
who attended. It is a performance
that will not only prepare one for
Christmas, but also a time to spend
with family and friends who want
to take a break from putting up the
Christmas tree.
The company is now in the second show of the season and one
will notice that as Clara, the Snow
Queen, and the Prince pas de bourree their way into the show, their
technique and routines continue to
improve.
The story begins with a Christmas
Eve party given by Dr. Stahlbaum
(Yosvani Cortellan) and his wife
(Jenna Stamm) specifically for their
children Clara (Kate Maxted) and
Fritz (Hans Gloor), their friends and
their parents. As guests arrive to a
party full of dancing and celebration
for Christmas, Herr Drosselmeyer
(Jason Cox), a magician and Clara’s
godfather, gives her a nutcracker as
her Christmas present.
Her brother then gets jealous of
Clara’s gift and takes it away from
her and slings it to the ground, leaving Clara displeased. Her godfather
fixes the nutcracker using his handkerchief and guests start to leave.
Then, the family goes to bed.
Clara, however, does not go to
sleep right away and goes back to
the living room to check on her
nutcracker. She then falls asleep and
begins to have nightmares that mice
are out to get her until Drosselmeyer
wakes her up and begins to do magic
tricks of growing the tree and toys.
The living room then grows into
a battlefield until Clara’s nutcracker
fights away the mice and becomes
a young prince (Gustavo Candelas).
Together, they go on a journey
through the Land of Snowflakes and
into the Kingdom of Sweets and tell
their eventful evening to the Sugar
Plum Fairy (Sally Turkel) and the
Cavalier (Dylan Duke).
The fairy orders a victory celebration and brings out Russian, Chinese, Arabian and Spanish dancers
to perform a piece from their country to Clara and the young Prince.
To end the eventful night, the Sugar
Plum Fairy and her Cavalier come
to dance.
Once the journey to the Kingdom
of Sweets is over, the audience is left
wondering whether Clara’s adventure was a dream, her imagination
or maybe even a reality.
Based on previous recitals, one
could notice that Ballet San Antonio
dancers have come a long way from
their previous show “Swan Lake.”
At “The Nutcracker,” one can hear
the audience clap their way through
the first act only being disappointed
that there is an intermission, anticipating what will happen 15 minutes
later.
When intermission is over and
the curtain opens, more dancers
come along as their respectful roles
and prove to the audience that this
performance was one that no one
could miss before Christmas is over.
Overall, each dancer has shown that
they could provide a show full of
quality choreography and a stage
that will allow the story to float on.
Once again, Sally Turkel, who
played the Sugar Plum Fairy, wowed
the audience as she glided on stage
with her versatile fouettés and pirouettes. One of the best parts of the
show was the performance made by
the Arabian and the Arabian corps.
Kathleen Martin and Jason Cox
complimented one another as they
belly danced their way in their performance on pointe. It was a tough
balance; however, both did a notable
performance that no one should miss.
As the season goes on with their
next performance of “Peter Pan”,
Ballet San Antonio will be joined by
new Artistic Director Willy Shives,
who could not be happier to return to
San Antonio from Chicago.
“I was coming back home. Being
named artistic director of Ballet San
Antonio is both an honor and a dream
come true for me. I am energized and
ready to work with the organization
and the community to build a better,
more exciting Ballet San Antonio,
one that reflects the city’s rich and
vibrant culture,” said Shives.
Ultimately, this year’s “Nutcracker” performance was one that
will not only provide extra holiday
cheer, but will also make one appreciate that ballet is a form of art that
will shape San Antonio. If you are
interested in bringing your Christmas spirit to light this year, visit
www.balletsanantonio.org for more

CTRC, School of Medicine research teams present
at San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium
Prevention of breast cancer
and precise treatment once an
individual has breast disease are
ongoing themes of research at
the Cancer Therapy & Research
Center (CTRC) at The University
of Texas Health Science Center at
San Antonio.
Several such studies, conducted
by the CTRC and School of Medicine of the Health Science Center,
will be presented during the 38th
annual AACR-CTRC San Antonio
Breast Cancer Symposium held
Dec. 8-12 at the Henry B. Gonzalez
Convention Center.
The symposium is a collaboration of the CTRC, the American
Association for Cancer Research
(AACR) and Baylor College of
Medicine.
Virginia G. Kaklamani, M.D.,
professor of medicine at the Health
Science Center and leader of the
CTRC breast cancer program,
commented on the importance
of the studies, the exact results
of which are embargoed until
various dates and times during the
symposium. Dr. Kaklamani is a
symposium co-director.
Prevention by killing stem cells
Breast cancers arise from mammary stem cells, many researchers
conjecture. In a study to be presented Dec. 9, LuZhe Sun, Ph.D.,
professor of cellular and structural
biology in the School of Medicine,
reports that a compound can kill
these stem cells.
“We are starting a clinical trial
at CTRC in women who have pre-
cancerous lesions, to give them this
medication,” Dr. Kaklamani said.
“Through this trial, we hope that
one day we will be able to prevent
breast cancer.”
The compound is already approved by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration for a different
purpose.
Prevention by genetic screening
Another program, Genetic Risk
Assessment for Cancer In All
South Texas (GRACIAS), recently
gained an additional $1.5 million
in funding from the Cancer Prevention & Research Institute of
Texas (CPRIT). Gail Tomlinson,
M.D., Ph.D., professor and chief
of pediatrics-hematology/oncology in the School of Medicine, is
principal investigator and presents
GRACIAS research findings on
Dec. 10.
GRACIAS is identifying individuals in San Antonio, Laredo
and the Lower Rio Grande Valley
who are at very high risk of developing several cancers, including
breast cancer.
“This is reaching areas that are
poor and individuals who don’t
have access to genetic testing,” Dr.
Kaklamani said. “Dr. Tomlinson
and her group are testing women
who are at risk of carrying genetic
mutations and giving them the
opportunity to help prevent their
cancers.
“It’s a local population and it’s
research we are doing with patients
here. It directly impacts our area.
It shows how the CTRC can help
prevent breast cancer, right here in
our back yard.”
Precision in treating breast
cancer
On Dec. 10, CTRC researchers
will report two studies describing
genomic tests that can predict response to treatment in two types
of breast cancer. This is precision medicine – predicting which
women will benefit from certain
therapies and which won’t.
In one study, researchers including Dr. Kaklamani studied hard-totreat tumors called triple-negative
breast cancers. These tumors
are highly therapy-resistant. The
researchers analyzed individual
tumor features and how they
changed in response to chemotherapy. This resulted in a test that can
predict which patients will receive
benefit from chemotherapy.
“Chemo has many side effects,”
Dr. Kaklamani said. “Giving it
when a patient won’t benefit and
will suffer the toxicities doesn’t
make any sense.”
The other study targeted early
stage, estrogen receptor-positive
breast cancers and describes a test
that can predict which patients
with benefit from chemotherapy
and the endocrine agent tamoxifen.
“At CTRC we are doing the
research that is cutting-edge that
is helping us to be precise,” Dr.
Kaklamani said.
Answers from nature
On Dec. 11, a team from CTRC
will present evidence that com-
pounds from fungi isolated in locations including the Great Lakes
have the ability to kill cancer cells.
Susan Mooberry, Pharm.D., professor of pharmacology and holder
of the Greehey Distinguished
Chair in Targeted Molecular Therapeutics in the School of Medicine,
leads the research team.
Dr. Mooberry and colleagues
are screening natural compounds
for effect against triple-negative
breast cancer cells. “These are
compounds we find in nature that
we are able to use to kill cancer
cells, including very hard-to-treat
cancer cells, the ones that are resistant to the treatments we currently
have available,” Dr. Kaklamani
said.
Penetrating the brain
The CTRC is conducting a clinical trial of a chemotherapy that,
unlike others in its class of drugs,
is able to penetrate the brain. This
can be crucial for patients whose
breast cancers have spread to the
brain. Andrew Brenner, M.D.,
Ph.D., associate professor in medicine, neurology and neurosurgery,
leads the study, which will be described Dec. 12 at the symposium.
Early clinical trials showed this
drug is very effective in killing
breast cancer cells in the brain.
“Here are all these clinical trials
that we have available at CTRC,
where we are helping people to
live longer,” Dr. Kaklamani said.
Help for nerve pain
Another CTRC study looks at
medications that can help prevent
one of the most severe side effects
of chemotherapy – neuropathy
or nerve pain, Dr. Kaklamani
said. Researchers including Dr.
Mooberry and Kelly Berg, Ph.D.,
and William Clarke, Ph.D., all of
the Department of Pharmacology,
conduct this study.

Invencibles en casa los Spurs esperan a Kobe Bryant
Por José I. Franco
[email protected]
Con su victoria en casa número
11, conquistada ante el visitante
Celtics de Boston en el renovado
estadio AT&T Center, los Spurs
ahora se disponen a darle la bien­
venida al guardia y alero Kobe
Bryant.
Bryant, el próximo viernes 11
de diciembre, llegará con Lakers
de Los Ángeles a San Antonio dispuesto a complacer a su legión de
seguidores que de seguro vendrán
desde el norte de México, el sur de
Texas y de la región de El Álamo.
El motivo es que recientemente
Bryant, de 37 años de edad, en su
nativa Filadelfia (donde jugaron
contra los alicaídos 76ers) anunció
su retiro de la duela tras 20 temporadas en la NBA vistiendo los colores de su único equipo, con el que
ha conquistado cinco campeonatos
en las campañas de 1999-00, 200001, 2001-02 y 2008-09, 2009-10.
Para el capitán de los Spurs, Tim
Duncan, la noticia del retiro de Bryant de las canchas en la NBA fue
tomada a bien. Indicó además que
Kobe dejará muchos recuerdos y
marcas en el mejor baloncesto del
universo. “Kobe se retirará dejando
buenos recuerdos en la NBA”, comentó Duncan durante el final del
partido que Spurs sostuvo ante los
Bucks de Milwaukee, al que de­
rrotaron con marcador de 95 a 70.
La cita Spurs vs. Lakers es el
vier­n es 11 de diciembre en el
horario de las 8:30 p.m. por lo que
se espera una verdadera batalla sobre la due­la del remodelado AT&T
Center que de seguro va a registrar
lleno completo.
Los Spurs siguen ubicados en el
segundo lugar de la Conferencia
del Oeste donde el súper líder lo
es el actual monarca de la NBA:
los Warriors de Golden State que
tienen marca de 22-0.
Los Warriors están bajo la dirección del entrenador interino Luke
Walton que se encuentra en relevo
del entrenador en jefe Steve Kerr, a
quien por reglamento de la NBA se
le adjudican las 22 victorias.
Kerr se encuentra cumpliendo
programa de rehabilitación tras un
par de intervenciones quirúrgicas
en la espalda (las cuales le fueron
realizadas durante el pasado verano).
Warriors van por su propia
marca en partidos ganados consecutivamente desde la apertura de
temporada hasta la fecha 22 en sus
partidos del rol regular en la NBA.
Los Spurs también van por su
propia marca a nivel franquicia.
Con su triunfo ante Celtics con
pizarra de 108-105 pusieron su
marca en 11-0 en el AT&T Center, siendo junto con Warriors los
dos únicos equipos que no han
perdido en su casa en la presente
temporada.
De acuerdo a información proporcionada por el departamento de
prensa de los Spurs, la franquicia
Silver & Black en la temporada
de 2007-08 llegaron a establecer
récord de 13-0 perdiendo el invicto
ante el visitante Suns de Phoenix
con marcador de 100-95 el 17 de
diciembre del 2007.
La victoria de Spurs ante Boston
fue la novena conseguida de forma
consecutiva. La última vez que
Celtics derrotó a San Antonio en
casa fue en la fecha del 11 de marzo
del 2011.
Los Spurs ante Celtics, entrenados por Brad Stevens, se vieron
faltos de ofensiva en el cierre de su
espectacular combate, anotando en
el cuarto periodo 22 unidades por
34 de su rival; sin embargo, su sorpresiva defensiva los pudo llevar a
puerto seguro con el trabajo de los
titulares y suplentes, encabezados
por LaMarcus Aldridge, que encestó 17 puntos con 8 rebotes.
Los Spurs batallaron para derrotar al visitante Celtics de Boston que, con su rotación de novatos y
prospectos, los puso contra la pared; pero lograron salir adelante con cerrado marcador de 108-105.

Por Celtics se despacharon con
la cuchara grande el guardia estelar Isaiah Thomas con 23 puntos,
el alero y escolta suplente Evan
Turner, que fabricó 16 unidades
seguido por el alero estelar Jae
Crowder con 15 puntos.
Aldridge dejó asentando que en
cada partido se ha venido encon­
trando con su ángulo para encontrar
el aro.

derecha), sigue buscando su ángulo para encestar. En la ofensiva

Spurs reinvent championship formula
By Kristian Jaime
[email protected]
Beating a 1-21 Philadelphia
team is not usually big news.
Yet, is just how badly the Spurs
did it that is garnering headlines.
News that Tim Duncan, Manu
Ginobili and Kawhi Leonard
were all out this game might
have been some comfort for 76er
fans. Perhaps Philly was still
relishing their first win earlier
this season against the Lakers.
Then came the tipoff.
Not only did LaMarcus Aldridge finish with 26 points and
nine rebounds, but Tony Parker
got in the act with 12 points on
the night as well.
The disparity between a wayward 76ers squad and a championship contender like San
Antonio is no more evident
than by looking at the field goal
percentage. A whopping 61 percent for the silver and black to
a meager 34 percent by Philly
makes looking at the scoreboard
almost unnecessary.
There are solid halftime leads
and there are ridiculous ones like
the 36-point advantage the Spurs
had. A rousing comeback was
hardly in the cards, as the Spurs
would trounce Philadelphia by
51 points 119-68.
The shock of a 76ers loss is
a newsworthy as another Spurs
win.
But it’s how they are winning
that is noteworthy. The Spurs
have evolved once again under
the tutelage of head coach Gregg
Popovich and his staff.
While the offense no longer
simply runs through Tim Duncan, the addition of Aldridge allows for basic post-up basketball
that is as patient as it is effective.
Knowing there are fewer threepoint threats, making Leonard
a viable shooter from any spot
on the floor is just the ingenuity
they needed.
With Pop’s confidence growing in Patty Mills, the Aussie is
proving why he was not traded
in the offseason. His eight-point
average does not tell the tale of
his prowess behind the three-
USWNT heads to S.A. as victory
tour reaches final stretch
Special to La Prensa
Following its historic run to the
championship of the 2015 Women’s
World Cup in Canada, the U.S.
Women’s National Team (USWNT) has embarked on a 10-game
Victory Tour across the country.
It has served the dual purpose
of celebrating the USA’s third
Women’s World Cup title with the
fans, while also preparing the team
for the 2016 CONCACAF Olympic
qualifying tournament which will
take place from February 10-21 of
next year in Houston and Dallas.
After the USA’s match on Dec.
6 in Hawaii was cancelled due to
the artificial turf surface at Aloha
Stadium was not suitable to hold an
international soccer match, the tour
was reduced to nine games of which
three remain.
The USA will now play Trinidad & Tobago on Dec. 10 in San
Antonio (8 p.m. CT on ESPN2 and
WatchESPN). Then, they will continue on Dec. 13 at the University
of Phoenix Stadium against China
PR (4:30 p.m. PT on ESPN2 and
WatchESPN) and end by playing
the 10th and final game of the Victory Tour against China on Dec. 16
in New Orleans (7 p.m. CT on FOX
Sports 1 and FOX Sports GO).
The USA has won five matches
and drawn one on the Victory Tour
while running its 2015 record to 181-4, including a record of 8-0-2 on
home soil. The U.S. team’s one loss
this year came in the first game of
2015 against France in Lorient, a 2-0
setback in early February that the
USA flipped one month later when
the teams met in the championship
game of the 2015 Algarve Cup in
Portugal.

point line.
It is not a coincidence that
Popovich has them contending
once again. For that matter,
it was expected of them. But
with age comes wisdom and
with San Antonio currently on
a four game winning streak, it
is as much about defense as it
is offense.
Consider the fact that Spurs
allow the least amount of points
from the free throw line. While
it is still early, appreciate that
lockdown defense has kept
them perfect on the home court.
Lastly, imagine San Antonio
quietly enjoying all the focus on
the 22-0 Golden State Warriors
as they wait in the tall grass at
18-4.
The Spurs are not about numbers, but the most important
one from now till the end of
the season is six—as in a sixth
championship banner for the
