Texas HS Update: 12/1

As we get closer to the Christmas break, we are nearing the midway point of the HS Season in the Dallas area as most teams have played 10 of the 24 games during the season. Currently, the Allen Eagles still hold on to the lead in the Gold Tier, however the Southlake Carroll Dragons are starting to pull within striking distance of the league leading Eagles.

This week, the Dragons and Allen Eagles will play each other at the Euless Starcenter where a Dragons win would pull them within 1 point of the Gold Tier lead. Elsewhere, Plano West (7-3-0), Coppell (7-3-0) and Plano Senior (6-2-2) are tied for 3rd with 14 points as they contuine to look up to Southlake Carroll and Allen as we close in the leagues Holiday break which begins on December 19.



After the Coppell Cowboys, they is a huge dropoff as Flower Mound, Dallas Jesuit and Frisco ISD are all tied with 8 points while Mckinney ISD and Highland Park are in 9th and 10th place and would be out of the playoffs right now.

Only the top 8 make the playoffs in the Gold Tier, so it could turn out to be Southlake Carroll and Allen be fighting it out for home ice throughout the post season. For Flower Mound, Dallas Jesuit and Frisco ISD, it's will be a case of holding off Mckinney ISD and Highland Park to get into the last playoffs spots this season.



In the Silver Tier, November turned out to be a great month for FM Marcus as they now lead the Silver Central Division with a great offense with 39 goals in the last 4 games. Which includes 12 against Grapevine last week in a 12-7 win where they used a 4 game homestand to good use. Denton County has been on a 4 game losing streak where they only point came in a 5-4 OT Loss to the Richardson ISD Stampede

Out west, Keller ISD contuines to keep it's slim margin over Midlothain despite having a 7-1-1 record and just being 3 points back of the Division Lead. After a slow start, HEB-Birdville is starting to find their grove with them winning 5 of their last 6 games.

Garland ISD contuines to dominate the East with a perfect 10-0-0 record. So far this season, the biggest threat to the perfect season came on November 5 when FM Marcus used a goal by Jake Consolver with just 5 seconds left force the game to OT. Then in the extra frame, Marcus Ortiz scored early in OT to keep the perfect season alive.

Last week against Rockwall where they fell 3-0 to Rockwall midway through the game, a goal early in the 2nd and 2 in the 3rd got the game tied at 3-3 before Joey Thomas scored on the PP to win 4-3. An impressive feat that the 3 goals in regulation came shorthanded. After Garland ISD, it's going to be a tight battle for 2nd place as Richardson ISD, Rockwall, and Plano East are all within 3 points of 2nd place.
