STATE SEMIFINALS PREVIEW: Frisco Wakeland vs. Fort Worth Trimble Tech
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.
Wakeland Lady Wolverines are on the hunt for district and state titles
"Last year didn't go as well as we had hoped," said junior Sophia Pehr in an interview earlier this season during the VYPE DFW Whatasnap photoshoot. "So, we used it as more of a transition year." Last year, Wakeland finished at No. 5 in district.
Senior Faith Bell added that a successful season would not only include being able to avoid another shutdown due to COVID and completing the season but "being first in district."
The Lady Wolverines' season is far from over as they continue on their quest. Their next game is Friday, February 5 against Frisco (5-4-3).
