11-5A BOYS SOCCER: Rowlett edges Sachse to move back into district title race

Published: Wednesday, March 6, 2013 1:11 PM CST
It has been a topsy-turvy ride for all the 11-5A boys soccer teams this season and Tuesday was no different.


Any time a team threatens to break away from the pack, another reels them back in, which is what Rowlett did to Sachse with a 1-0 victory on Tuesday at Williams Stadium.

The Mustangs had won five consecutive matches to surge to the top of the standings, while the Eagles were coming off a loss to Garland.

But Kyle Hughley scored for Rowlett and the defense did the rest. That result meant South Garland could have assumed sole possession of first place, but Lakeview refused to allow that to happen, pulling the upset with a 1-0 win.

The Mustangs and Colonels are now tied for first with 6-3 records. Rowlett, which has played one fewer game, is tied for third at 5-3 with Garland, followed by 4-4 Naaman Forest, who defeated North Garland on Tuesday.

With the congested standings, every match is big from this point forward. Rowlett will take on South Garland on Friday at 8 p.m. at Williams Stadium, Sachse will meet Garland at 6 p.m. at Homer B. Johnson Stadium, while Naaman Forest and Lakeview will play at 4 p.m. at Williams Stadium.

The teams will then take a week off for Spring Break before returning to action for the stretch run on Mar. 19.
