Get used to hearing the name Javier Leonor, the number 9,  because he is on fire! And its no surprise to the staff and coaches at Tyler FC.  This 2019 UPSL Fall Season, Leonor has taken the role of Center Forward and has scored 3 goals in the opening 2 games of the season, and scored 5 goals in 3 games during pre-season. Leonor made his debut for Tyler FC on May 5, 2019 vs Dallas City FC during the NPSL Summer Season. It only took the Kings #9 15 minutes to score the opening goal of the game and to score his first goal on his debut for Tyler. But getting Javier Leonor to become a King was no easy task.
Javier Leonor was born in Sonsonate, El Salvador and is now 20 years of age. He arrived to Palestine, Texas and began to attend Palestine ISD in the 2016-2017 school year. In April 2018 Tyler FC staff and scouts had been following the Palestine ISD soccer super star around the state of Texas. Javier Leonor had been scoring an insane amount of goals throughout his junior year in the high school soccer season. After being approached multiple times Leonor denied the opportunity to play in the 2018 NPSL Summer Season. The staff became frustrated but didn't give up on him and insisted that he would player for Tyler FC.

The following year TFC kept an eye on Palestine High School and on Javier Leonor in his senior year. Leonor almost didn’t qualify to play high school soccer because of his age, and missed 1/3 of the season and was still able to score 58 goals, and get 29 assists in 22 games. In high school overall Javier played 85 games racking up 157 goals and 103 assists, averaging 1.8 goals per game and 1.2 assists per game. 
As you can see Javier Leonor is a scoring machine and a special player for Tyler FC. With his eye for goal and his killer instinct Tyler Kings look to dominate the UPSL Fall Season. Come out and support Javier Leonor and all the Kings at Tyler FC in our first home game vs FF Premier Saturday, October 5.

Tyler FC traveled to Tulsa, Oklahoma Sunday September, 29 to face Tulsa Athletic U-23 for their second game of the UPSL season. TFC started the game off with an early goal from #9 Javier Leonor. Tulsa defender Nathan Ross failed to clear a ball and landed at the feet of the Kings leading goal scorer #9 Javier Leonor, he was able to dribble past defenders and goalkeeper for a simple finish putting Tyler up 1-0 in the 5th minute. 
Shortly after Tyler left back Diego Deluna was caught in possession of the ball and Tulsa were able to steal and score equalizing the game 1-1 in the 17th minute. 

In the 25th minute #10 Karl Pierre was fouled inside the box and Center Midfielder Ivan Jacovljevic took the penalty putting Tyler Kings up 2-1.  The next goal wouldn’t come until the second half, when in the 66th minute #7 Ivan Jacovljevic scored receiving a brilliant pass after a great run from Jimmy Sandoval. Giving Ivan Jacovljevic his second goal of the game in his first game of the UPSL season. Also putting Jimmy Sandoval at his 3rd assist in 2 games.
Though it may have seemed that the Kings were in full control of the game, in the last 15 minutes of the game Tulsa Athletic scored 3 goals! (75th, 86th, 90+) and defeating the Tyler Kings 4-3 and continuing their undefeated run at 3-0. 

Though loss for Tyler, however the Kings next game will be the first home game of the UPSL season vs FF Premier out of Dallas, Texas. 

The following year during the 2017-2018  NPSL season Brandon was often on the Tyler Kings roster, however coach Demetrio Hernandez thought he was still too young and too small for heavy playing time. Despite Brandon’s size he was able to play 2 out of 10 games and was coming off of the bench to play  a maximum of 20 minutes per game. 
Today Brandon Zavala finds himself as a key player for the Tyler FC Kings 1st team. During the Kings match vs the Wolves this past weekend; Brandon found himself on the starting line-up. Zavala made his debut as a starter for the first time since 2016. All of Brandons focus and hard work finally paid off. Brandon Zavala also contributed to TFCs victory by scoring Tylers 3 goal to put the Kings up 3-1 over the Arkansas Wolves. 

We wish Brandon Zavala and all Tyler FC Kings a successful season!

Tyler Kings travel to Little Rock, Arkansas tomorrow Saturday, September 21, at 6pm.
This is the Kings first game of the 2019 inaugural fall season with the UPSL will be vs Arkansas Wolves. 
The Wolves recently lost their first game vs Tulsa Athletic U-20 team. Joe Adkins scored a Penalty Kick late in the first half for the Wolves. However Tulsa Athletic were able to score 4 besting the wolves for the opening game  of the season. 

Tyler FC  will be playing primarily with a local Tyler team, however TFC have picked up a few new players since the end of the NPSL season in the summer. We can expect to see some key players returning such as Karl Pierre who scored 3 goals in the NPSL season. The Kings also expect a strong UPSL season from veteran player Jimmy Sandoval (27) who has been with Tyler FC since the first season and recently has had an incredibly strong pre-season. 

Hopes and expectations are high for the Tyler Kings this 2019 Fall UPSL season!
