12-5A BOYS SOCCER: Stallions blank Heath, Skeeters surprise Horn
By DEVIN HASSON, dhasson@starlocalnews.com
North Mesquite officially punched its ticket to the playoffs on Tuesday, posting a 3-0 victory over Rockwall-Heath.
The Stallions (7-2-1-0, 23 points) also needed the win to remain in second place, as Longview (6-3-0-2, 20) knocked off previously undefeated Rockwall (9-1-0-0, 27) to solidify its hold on third.
North Mesquite got goals from Julio Gomez, Marco Gonzalez and Oscar Ocampo and the defense did the rest in the win over Rockwall-Heath.
That could be a must-win situation for the Jaguars, who fell to Mesquite on Tuesday, 2-1.
The Skeeters, who are out of the playoff race, knocked off a contender for the second time in as many games, getting goals from David Munoz and Alvaro Ollarzabal, with assists going to Samuel Adesoye and Kelvin Ledezma.
The Jaguars (4-5-1-0, 14) could have moved into fourth place with a win, but instead remain in fifth, one point behind Tyler Lee (5-5-0-0, 15).
While Horn has a tough two-game stretch to close the regular season, the Red Raiders might have a tougher path, with games against North Mesquite on Friday and Rockwall on Monday.
The Jaguars split the season series with Tyler Lee, dropping a 1-0 decision in the first meeting and picking up a 3-0 victory in the rematch.
