11-5A BOYS SOCCER: Rowlett edges Naaman Forest, takes another step toward district crown

Published: Wednesday, March 20, 2013 3:24 AM CDT
In the course of three matches, Rowlett has gone from being on the fringe of the playoff race to district title frontrunner.


The Eagles continued their recent surge on Tuesday with a 1-0 victory over Naaman Forest to improve to 7-3 in 11-5A.

The teams had 11 days between games due to time off during Spring Break, but Rowlett was able to do just enough, getting a goal from Josue Reyes that proved to be the difference in the game.

At worst, Rowlett will earn a share of the district title if it can defeat North Garland on Friday and Lakeview on Tuesday. Both of those teams are out of the playoff race.

Garland, who had a chance to remain tied for first place in 11-5A with a win over South Garland, has to play Naaman Forest on Friday and the Raiders on Tuesday.

Sachse, who is tied for third place, had a bye on Tuesday and will have had two weeks off when it returns to the field on Friday for a pivotal game against South Garland. The Mustangs then meet the Rangers in the season finale on Tuesday with a playoff berth potentially on the line.
