Dynamo Academy Team of the Week - Jan. 24
<strong>Goalkeeper: Jonathan Gomez, U-13 Pre- Academy</strong><p>Jonathan performed well for the U-13&rsquo;s this past weekend in Denton. He commanded his box with authority and made some key saves and punches early on. Jonathan only joined us in October, but has proved critical to us at various times this season.</p>

<strong>Defender: Christian Murillo, U-13 Pre-Academy</strong><p>Christian was yet again excellent in his side&rsquo;s 1-0 loss at the weekend. His tireless work ethic and his willingness to compete means he is always one of the first names on the team sheet.&nbsp;<em>Did you know? This is the first time two brothers have featured on the same Team of the Week. #Welch</em></p>
<img alt="" src="//houston-mp7static.mlsdev.net/mp6/David%20Brown.png" style="width: 98px; height: 127px;">
<strong>Defender: David Brown, U-16 Academy</strong><p>David put in a commanding performance in his side&#39;s 2-1 win at the weekend over the Dallas Texans. He was instrumental to his side both going forward and defensively.</p>
<img alt="" src="//houston-mp7static.mlsdev.net/mp6/Louis%20Thomas.png" style="width: 90px; height: 117px;">
<strong>Defender: Louis Thomas, U-18 Academy</strong><p>Louis was excellent over the weekend for the U-18 Academy team. His ability to play forward from his center back position as well as his ability to defend has been critical in the 18&rsquo;s recent success.</p>
<img alt="" src="//houston-mp7static.mlsdev.net/mp6/Christian%20Diaz.png" style="width: 98px; height: 127px;">
<strong>Midfielder: Christian Diaz, U-18 Academy</strong><p>Christian is really starting to settle into the holding midfield position for the U-18&rsquo;s. He provides a great work rate and tidy distribution from the center of the park and is getting better with each game.</p>
<img alt="" src="//houston-mp7static.mlsdev.net/mp6/Memo%20Rodriguez.png" style="width: 97px; height: 127px;">
<strong>Midfielder: Memo Rodriguez, U-18 Academy</strong><p>Memo was fantastic as an attacking midfielder for the U17/18&rsquo;s this past weekend. He showed a great range of passing, coupled with a creative spark from the middle of the park.&nbsp;</p>
<img alt="" src="//houston-mp7static.mlsdev.net/mp6/Daniel%20Wiseman.png" style="width: 97px; height: 127px;">
<strong>Midfielder: Daniel Wiseman, U-13 Pre-Academy</strong><p>Daniel put in an impressive performance as the U-13s fell 1-0 in Denton this past weekend. The technically gifted midfielder was at the heart of the play and rarely conceded possession. He keeps the play moving and always picks the right pass.</p>
<img alt="" src="//houston-mp7static.mlsdev.net/mp6/Alex%20Quintanilla.png" style="width: 97px; height: 127px;">
<strong>Midfielder: Alex Quintanilla, U-16 Academy</strong><p>Alex was excellent as his side soared to victory this weekend versus the Dallas Texans. He played a part in everything good that the U-16s did going forward.</p>
<strong>Forward: Christian Lucatero, U-16 Academy</strong><p>Christian scored both his side&rsquo;s goals this past weekend as the U16&rsquo;s beat the Dallas Texans 2-1. Christian was not only clinical in front of goal, but he was also forever linking play and creating opportunities from his outside forward position.</p>
<img alt="" src="//houston-mp7static.mlsdev.net/mp6/Carlos%20Ibarra.png" style="width: 91px; height: 118px;">
<strong>Forward: Carlos Ibarra, U-18 Academy</strong><p>Carlos was again lively in his side&#39;s 1-0 loss at the weekend. The skillful forward not only supplies his teammates with fantastic runs off the ball, but he also works defensively, bringing meaning to the term &ldquo;defend from the front&rdquo;. Carlos also shows fantastic composure in front of goal and was unlucky not to get on the score sheet this past weekend.</p>
<strong>Forward: Irvin Ramirez, U-18 Academy</strong><p>Irvin was superb in his side&#39;s 1-0 loss to the Dallas Texans at the weekend. The gifted forward proved to be a constant menace from the left hand side and was lively throughout.</p>
