Previous Matches: A Roller Coaster Ride

Before the finals, the matches have already been action-packed! Austin Achieve managed to edge out Gainesville with a narrow victory of 1-0. Wimberley had a nail-biting encounter, facing Canyon Randall, which ended in a penalty shootout after a tie, resulting in a 3-2 defeat for Wimberley.

Unfortunately, not everything went as planned for Progreso High School. The team, boasting an impressive record of 30-0 leading up to the semifinals, was forced to forfeit their match against Salado due to the discovery of an ineligible player. This shocking turn of events occurred just 15 minutes before the game, leading to an emergency meeting by UIL. The player in question had transferred schools but failed to complete the necessary eligibility paperwork. Salado now advances to the state title game as a result of Progreso’s forfeiture.
