11-5A BOYS SOCCER: Rowlett falls to Naaman Forest, drops back into middle of the pack
By DEVIN HASSON, dhasson@starlocalnews.com
For Rowlett, a win on Friday against Naaman Forest meant it would keep pace with South Garland in the race for the 11-5A top spot.
The alternative was one the Eagles were hoping to avoid, but that is the spot they are in after a 2-1 loss to the Rangers.
Instead of maintaining their place as one of only two district teams with only one loss, Rowlett falls back into a three-way tie for third place at 2-2 with Sachse and Lakeview.
The Colonels continued their strong play with a 3-2 shootout win over Garland, while North Garland picked up its first 11-5A win with a 2-0 shutout of Lakeview.
Rowlett will try to get back on the winning track when it meets North Garland on Tuesday at 8 p.m. at Williams Stadium.
The Mustangs, who had a bye on Friday, will try to knock off first-place South Garland on Tuesday at 6 p.m. at Homer B. Johnson Stadium.
