4-0, about to go final.  Our region just doesn't compare to the others around the state.  And I wouldn't be shocked if Celina beats Stephenville by 3 or 4 tomorrow.

Nope, our youth programs are not as competitive as the DFW area and we don’t have the coaching infrastructure and resources available. Not to mention the budgets these top programs funnel through their soccer program. We do good for what we have

 Celina girls looked very good. That North Dallas/Frisco area is the Mecca for top youth academy’s. From 4A to 6A, you can bet there will be several high schools from that area playing for a title

Absolutely!  Nothing to hang their heads about.  It’s still an amazing achievement to make it back to back years.

Hidalgo 1 San Elizario 0

Hidalgo scores off free kick on 79th min to win

Brutal way to lose.  Soft lofted free kick from probably 40 yds out, right to the keeper’s hands.  He mishandled it, it popped off the crossbar, and a forward came running in and knocked the goalie, and defender, and the ball across the line. Was a clear foul IMO, but the goalie had no business dropping the ball to begin with

    • Solid week.  Alone in 4th for the playoffs.  If I hadn’t started off down 16-18 picks after 4 weeks I’d be up near the top 🤦🏻‍♂️
    • This is good info. It doesn’t really break out for student athletes though. LP & (I think) DP are open enrollment because of the way the towns intertwine. That’s the way it’s been for many years anyway. I assume it still is that way. The kids have a choice after Jr. High to go to either High School because LPISD has elementary schools in DP. As I recall, DP didn’t want to build out more (Robin Hood issues), and so DPISD & LPISD came to an arrangement because LPISD is one of the highest givers to Robin Hood in the state, and it helped both keep more funds in district. Of course, LPISD is open to all. Not just DP, and LPISD is rated well. So, I assume they have kids from elsewhere also. Not positive though. They used to have a lot because—for decades—DeWalt was the only dedicated public school in the GHA that specifically catered to special needs kids. Families from all over enrolled. But, they didn’t participate in extracurricular activities like sports. So, LP’s total enrollment made them 6A. But, they were really a 5A school all along for sports program sake. This is all as best as I can recall from when I was more involved in school issues. I’m sure a lot has changed since then. My kids have been out for 20 years.
    • Our playoff rivalry. They hold a 6-5 edge in the series. I think Newton continues the win streak in a hard fought contest. What say y’all?
    • Has Elmo gotten his aggy premature extension yet?  Pay him already because you guys were exactly right - he really does “get you.” 😂🤣
