Proof positive: Bulldogs reap rewards from tough non-district slate

By Richard C. White, rwhite@starlocalnews.com
Some teams will fatten up their win column with an easy early schedule, while others sprinkle in occasional tough opponents.

McKinney North boys soccer head coach Tommy Sills takes a different approach.

"We played such a tough pre-district that I knew the kids would come around, and it just took some time," he said. "Playing the really good teams made us a lot better and they started seeing that and got some confidence and that's why we're playing real well right now."

Mike Overton, who has been the head coach at West Mesquite since 2006, has accepted the new head coaching position across town at Horn High School.


Overton was introduced to the players today and officially starts tomorrow, according to Mesquite ISD athletic director Steve Bragg.

Overton takes over for Rodney Webb, who was named head coach at Rockwall on Friday.

Since taking over at West Mesquite in 2006, the Wranglers have made the playoffs every season, compiling a 54-28 record during that span.

West Mesquite advanced to the Class 4A Region II championship game in 2007 and made it to the regional semifinals in 2010.

Overton is taking over a Horn team that posted an 8-4 record last season and has made five consecutive trips to the playoffs.
