Extremely difficult matchup for the hawks.  While Salado's 19-6-3 record doesn't look quite as scary as Lumberton's did, their schedule was about 5X as tough as Lumberton's, and they've beaten a lot of very good teams. They beat undefeated Lorena last game to advance. Their 6 losses are to two 5A playoff teams and three 4A teams that are all still alive in the 4A playoffs (and have a combined record of 71-8-2).  The hawks will have to play defense just as well as they did against Lumberton if they're going to have a shot at advancing.

Hawks lead 1-0 at the half!  Had a couple of great chances to make it 2, but the salado keeper made a good save on a breakaway, and the hawks hit the crossbar from a long way out.  The second half will be tougher, as salado will have a pretty strong wind at their back
