The rapidly growing Armadillo Division in the 2025 Texas Arena League (TAL) season has expanded to a second location, featuring even higher-goal levels of play to meet the increasing demand for competitive action. As TAL continues to grow, both the Classic and Armadillo divisions have evolved to better serve the expanding needs of the Texas polo community. Following the overwhelming response to the inaugural Armadillo Division in 2023, TAL has tailored this popular division for its third season, introducing new opportunities and dynamic changes for both players and spectators alike. Interim Physicians' Matthew Schloemer on a breakaway. First introduced in 2023 to address the rising demand for competitive play at the 0- to 3-goal level, the division quickly expanded. To ensure that every team had an opportunity to compete, two additional weekends were added to the TAL calendar. The additional weekends were dubbed the Texas Arena League: Armadillo Division, paying homage to true Texas spirit and tradition. Red River Polo's James Glew carries the ball down the arena on his nearside. In 2024, the Armadillo Division attracted an impressive nine teams at the 0- to 3-goal level, with games taking place over one weekend at Legends Polo Club (Kaufman, Texas). The success of the division was evident as both players and fans praised the increased opportunities for competition. Dallas Taylor, a participant in the 2024 season, shared, “Playing in TAL’s Armadillo League with the Interim Physicians team has become my most anticipated event of the year. John Hand, my best friend and former teammate [at Texas Tech Polo Club], started the team in 2024 after we both took a six-year hiatus from playing polo. Since then, we’ve aimed to make this a yearly tradition. TAL offers us the ability to compete in the arena again, see old faces, and reminisce on our past polo days.” One of the standout changes for the 2025 season is the introduction of the new 8- to 12-goal division, hosted at Brookshire Polo Club, in Brookshire, Texas. The additional level came at the request of last year’s players who were seeking more advanced competion. This year’s 8- to 12-goal division was played as the National Arena Chairman's Cup with six participating teams. Legends Polo Club's Omar "Adrian" Aguilar on the ball with Red River Polo's Brooke Burke on defense. The Armadillo Division has also become a bridge for players from various clubs to come together, fostering a sense of community and competition. Michael Farah, of the Polo Hermanos team, shared, “The three of us 'Polo Hermanos' are at different clubs now but promised each other we would play together this year. The Armadillo league made it fun with challenging and well-balanced teams.” For 2025, the Armadillo Division raised the bar. The 0- to 3-goal level was adjusted to 0-4 goal, adding a new level of competition. Eight teams joined the newly revamped division, with the competition taking place over two weekends at Legends Polo Club, as the National Arena Bronze Cup . Team Marines' 2nd Lt. Rowan Neidinger brings the ball down the boards. “Getting to compete for the National Arena Bronze Cup is such a great opportunity. Military polo is such a small knit community and being able to represent it at a national level is an honor.”  – 2nd Lt. Rowan Neidinger The expansion of the Armadillo Division has been welcomed. Chad Bowman, a player from the Houston area, shared, “It [Armadillo Division] is a nice addition to TAL. After playing the [U.S. Arena Open Polo Championship], I believe it is a step between [the two] to show some people that they could also do the open. The league has also helped grow TAL in the Houston area and will hopefully pull some more people into playing next year. For me, it has helped the level of play across the board from the players to the horses.” Stephanie Colburn*, another competitor in the new 8- to 12-goal league, also shared her perspective on the benefits of competing at a higher level. "My goal in joining the league was to continue to improve myself by competing at a higher level amongst players better than myself and to help keep myself sharp during the ‘off’ weekends from the Classic Division. I do feel like a little fish in a big pond at times, but have relished the opportunity to play higher level arena polo and strive to continue improving my skills and reaction times." Interim Physicians' Matthew Schloemer reaches for the hook on Polo Interactive's Javier Insua. “The new 8- to 12-goal league has really elevated the level of arena polo being played and has provided a great way for players to continue competitively playing outside of the TAL Classic Division.”  – Stephanie Colburn The final ran concurrently with the 0- to 4-goal Armadillo Division at Legends Polo Club from Friday, February 28 through Sunday, March 2. Similar to the Classic Division, every player in the Armadillo Division received a limited-edition U.S. Polo Assn. sherpa hoodie, featuring the TAL logo. In addition, awards are presented after each game for Galvin Agency Most Valuable Player, Nutrena Best Playing Pony and Sportsmanship. New for 2025, the Player of the Week and Casablanca Defenseman of the Week awards have been added to recognize standout performances.

For the second time in a week the HEAT lost a tough, clutch game against a good opponent on the first night of a back-to-back and had a chance to get right against a team with far more losses than wins a day later. This one went far differently than the last one, when Miami pulled away from Washington late. Yes, the Bulls were No. 10 in the Eastern Conference at 25-38 coming into this one, but they’re 3-9 since the trade deadline – Zach LaVine was sent to Sacramento as part of a multi-team De’Aaron Fox trade – and were without Nikola Vucevic and Lonzo Ball tonight right as the HEAT got most of their rotation back. And you could feel the difference in the two rosters early on Chicago staying relatively close but struggling to find consistent looks while Miami ran their stuff, Kel’el Ware leading off with two buckets and Andrew Wiggins scoring nine of the first 21 points. Soon enough it was HEAT by double digits, the lead stretching all the way to 17 despite a rather cold night from the arc – Chicago was having an even tougher time – as Miami swarmed Coby White and forced others, not up to it at the time, to create while Terry Rozier hit a trio of triples. Remember rookie Matas Buzelis, he of that 24-point, 10-of-10 performance in Chicago’s win the night before Miami’s big trade? He wasn’t quite as perfect tonight but his attacking gained the Bulls a little downhill traction, White and Josh Giddey adding a handful of drives themselves as Chicago fought back, down seven at the break. The difference in Shot Quality still felt stark to the naked eye, but the scoreboard only cares about the points that go on it. Zach Collins corner three to kick off the third, Bulls only down four now, and then another one from Collins right after that caused Erik Spoelstra to call timeout less than a minute into the half. Order was restored soon after with a series of fouls and Herro threes, including a four-point play, and the game loosened up a bit from there, Chicago’s offense speeding up even as Miami pulled away back into double digits. Chicago refused to fade into the night, however, back within two just as quickly as the HEAT had previously pulled away, Giddey and White getting downhill again. Threes, including another from Rozier, helped from there, Miami making their weakside kickouts while Chicago barely got the ball over the rim on a handful of decent looks. As a Rozier corner look fell, his fifth three of the night, at the buzzer, Miami was back up 11. Chicago dipped their toes into zone waters to open the fourth as the HEAT’s threes hit iron and it was back to five with nine to play, headed for a clutch game when the Washington game earlier in the week went in the opposite direction. A few hits were dodged that could have forced a tie, but then the Bulls led anyway as their speed got to work. A couple Wiggins jumpers put Miami back in front, but Chicago wasn’t going away, White and Tre Jones doing damage in the paint and in the passing lanes. Bulls by three with over a minute to play, and then it was a deep Giddey three at the end of the shot clock that put Chicago up four with the shot clock off and Miami out of timeouts. A Herro airball followed and it was Chicago’s night, 114-109. While this was not a night for explosive, efficient offense – Chicago’s Offensive Rating was a mere 109.6 – you could feel the visitors slowly building momentum, bit by bit, even as Miami had a vice grip on their halfcourt process through the first quarter-plus. First it was Buzelis getting into the paint and free in the second half, then it was Giddey – he of a 26 point, 12 assist, 10 rebound night – stringing together physical, spinning drives. There were those two Collins threes to open the second half and Jones burrowing his way into the paint on blowbys in the fourth. Coby White was having a nightmare of a game at the start, the HEAT shading extra defenders towards him to get the ball out of his hands any time he tired to push the ball forward, but one the rest of Chicago’s players started to make plays White started to see the seams quicker as he finished with 21 points on 16 shots. After scoring 48 in the first half, Chicago scored 30 in the third and 35 in the fourth. This was Miami’s fourth loss – the other three against Atlanta, Orlando and Brooklyn – in 13 games in which their opponent shot under 30 percent, which given the way the HEAT’s defense is structured, the collapse arms and legs and bodies into the paint at the risk of allowing a few threes, is not typically something that goes hand and hand with HEAT games. If their opponents shoot poorly, the HEAT are designed to win those games, but it was Chicago’s drives, the constant drives, that did the lasting damage, 58 points in the paint in all. While it wasn’t much of an evening for silver linings, Miami did get much of their rotation back in place. Wiggins fit into his role just as well as he had been before his ankle injury, 22 points on 17 shots with 3-of-5 from three, and Kel’el Ware added seven points on seven shots to go with 12 rebounds. That meant Kevin Love, Pelle Larsson and Kyle Anderson didn’t play among those who had received regular minutes in recent games, keeping tabs on the rotation at large. But outside of Wiggins and the player who we’ll talk about in a moment, there wasn’t enough shooting to keep Miami’s offense moving forward. Rozier needed a night like this, to be sure, 5-of-9 from the floor, all of them threes, for 15 points, earning himself 27 minutes and a place in the fourth quarter while coming off the bench. The HEAT’s struggles with late-game offense continued – just 20 in the final 12 –  Chicago getting them out of rhythm with some zone minutes that deserve a second watch, but in the bigger picture there’s always a chance a game like this gets Rozier, shooting well below his averages for the season, back in the direction he assuredly wants to go in.

Join us at 1 p.m. Sunday, March 16, for Luis Bunuel's box office smash "Belle de Jour," starring Catherine Deneuve as a housewife who starts secretly spending her afternoon working at a bordello.   BELLE DE JOUR | 1967 | DIRECTOR: Luis Bunuel | WITH: Catherine Deneuve, Jean Sorel, Michel Piccoli | RUNNING TIME: 1H 40M | IN FRENCH with English subtitles | UNRATED | PROJECTED IN 2K   Catherine Deneuve’s porcelain perfection hides a cracked interior in one of the actress’s most iconic roles: Séverine, a Paris housewife who begins secretly spending her after­noon hours working in a bordello. This surreal and erotic late-sixties daydream from provocateur for the ages Luis Buñuel is an examination of desire and fetishistic pleasure (its characters’ and its viewers’), as well as a gently absurdist take on contemporary social mores and class divisions. Fantasy and reality commingle in this burst of cinematic transgression, which was one of Buñuel’s biggest hits."It is possibly the best-known erotic film of modern times, perhaps the best. That’s because it understands eroticism from the inside-out–understands how it exists not in sweat and skin, but in the imagination.    “Belle de Jour” is seen entirely through the eyes of Severine, the proper 23-year-old surgeon’s wife, played by Catherine Deneuve. Bunuel, who was 67 when the film was released, had spent a lifetime making sly films about the secret terrain of human nature, and he knew one thing most directors never discover: For a woman like Severine, walking into a room to have sex, the erotic charge comes not from who is waiting in the room, but from the fact that she is walking into it. Sex is about herself. Love of course is another matter." -- Roger Ebert   Tickets are $6 (including service charge) and available at link above. Students use code UMSTUDENT at checkout for free admission (must show Cane card at the door). DATE AND TIME: Sunday, March 16, 2025 1pm to 3pm ADDRESS: Bill Cosford Cinema, Dooly Memorial 225 By ML Staff. Courtesy of University of Miami
