Frisco Wakeland Wolverines (22-4-1, 14-3-1)
Frisco Wakeland Soccer
The stage is extremely familiar to Wakeland, but because of that the Wolverines might find themselves a little ahead in confidence. Dallas-Fort Worth area high school sports fans know all too well that confidence alone won't win championships- many have fallen due to being ahead of themselves. Wakeland is going to have to go into the semifinals with a brand new mindset against this tough Trimble Tech team if they expect to make it to the state championship game.
Trimble Tech is brand new to the state tournament which means that this appearance means way more to them and they have far more to lose. The Bulldogs have put in the work all season to make this state appearance happen and will stop at nothing to make sure they make it to the state title game.
The game is scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 14th at Birkelbach Field in. Georgetown, Texas.
Regional Semifinals: Trimble Tech vs. Palo Duro
Trimble Tech Bulldogs soccer has posted one of their best seasons so far and the team isn't anywhere close to slowing down as they head into the Regional Semifinals against Amarillo Palo Duro. VYPE DFW takes a look at Trimble Tech's season so far and what fans can expect from the Bulldogs on Friday:
This season, the Bulldogs finished at the top of their district with a 12-1-1 district record (27-3-1 overall). The Bulldogs were victorious over the likes of Fort Worth South Hills, Saginaw, Southwest, and more while outscoring their opponents by a combined 103-28. Trimble Tech has shown their ability to be a defense that stays aware of their opponents' moves. Not only that, but their offense has been non-stop when it comes to attacking, shooting, and scoring this season.
Lead by Julian Hernandez, Juan Luna, Jonathan Villalpando, Ivan Mulgado, Daniel Gutierrez, and the rest of the team, the Bulldogs have ended the seasons of Everman (9-2), Colleyville Heritage (3-2), and Arlington Heights (4-0) in playoffs. The Bulldogs have been playing harder than ever with one goal in mind.
Heading into the Regional Semifinals, fans can expect the team to come in with a ready-to-win mentality. Palo Duro has the potential to be one of the toughest teams that Trimble Tech has faced all season, so the Bulldogs are going to have to be prepared to play fast-paced. The game is set to begin at 3 p.m. on Friday, April 8th at Wichita Falls Memorial Stadium.
