West Mesquite takes down rival Poteet for key district win

When district championship and playoff implications are also on the line, it only adds to the intensity.

The Wranglers and Pirates entered Friday's meeting tied atop the 10-4A standings and the game carried a playoff-like feel from start to finish.

Sidekicks win again

Published: Friday, January 4, 2013 12:55 PM CST
The Dallas Sidekicks were dealt their stiffest challenge of the 2012-13 season Thursday night, but still prevailed in a 5-2 victory over the Rio Grande Valley Flash.


That final score may prove a tad deceiving, as the Sidekicks held just a 3-2 advantage over RGV midway through the fourth quarter. Nick Stavrou provided some breathing room for Dallas, scoring a power-play goal set up by Paolo Da Silva 7:16 into the frame for the 4-2 advantage.

Jamie Lovegrove distanced the Sidekicks from the Flash for good with a goal inside the final two minutes despite RGV pulling its keeper to add a sixth attacker.

Lovegrove scored two goals in the win and assisted Ricardinho in notching the first goal of the contest four minutes into the first quarter.

Sean Bellomy also provided a goal and Sagu turned away 16-of-18 shots on net, as Dallas remained unbeaten at 7-0 on the season -- the club's best start since 1994.

The Sidekicks hit the road for a 7 p.m. tilt tonight against the Chicago Mustangs before returning home to host Chicago at 7 p.m. Saturday from the Allen Event Center.
