Skill-wise, these two teams seem pretty even, but Stephenville is WAAAAY faster, which is not something I expected to say. They're more physical as well, but that's an area where our region always struggles when they get to state and face Austin and Dallas teams.

Lumberton girls down 1-0 after 10 min.

The playoffs are always kinda fascinating to me in soccer. It usually doesn't bode well for our region, but it's always interesting to see how some of these teams match against the major hotbeds of dallas and austin. Also, I wish I knew more about Wylie East. Last season they went 17-6-1, finished 3rd in their district, and lost their opening round 5A playoff game. This year they moved up to 6A, and somehow they're 28-0 and have only given up 5 goals all season. That defies all logic.

about to go back to back. Celina lost their second game of the season LAST year 2-1 to a 6A playoff school. Since then they've gone 55-0-1. The scariest thing to me is that last year they allowed 21 goals on the season on their way to a state championship, and this year they've allowed 7.

I like the boys’ odds better than the girls. Both are underdogs, despite the girls having a higher ranking. That said, they’ve both made it this far for a reason. Would love to see them keep going.

Lady raiders up 1-0 early!

Lumberton wins and advances to face El Campo tomorrow. From what I saw today they should be a solid favorite against them.

Calhoun dominating this half with the wind.

Lumberton up 1-0 at the half.

Lumberton D made a huge goal line clearance after a Calhoun player had dribbled the keeper on a breakaway.

Lumberton boys up 1-0 over Calhoun mid 1st half. They’ve controlled play so far, and are unlucky not to be up more after hitting the bar on one shot and the post on another.

I was flipping between a couple of games. At some point lumberton subbed out their goalie, and I’m not sure why. Don’t know if they play both regularly or if the starter got hurt. If the starter is hurt that could play a factor if Lorena does a better job than Bay City did at putting shots on goal.
