Lindale (24-0-0)
Boys that is

Technically Lindale is not 24-0-0...a shootout win, even in playoffs, count as a tie on your record.

23-0-1

Technically, don't be stupid. count it any way you want to.

Well, kind of. See a tie in the regular season, is a tie in the sense that one team doesn't get all 3 points. But in the play-offs, the loser of the shoot-out gets nothing out of it. So in a sense it is a complete win, not a tie. But that is just my reasoning behind it i'm not sure how it goes down in the record books.

Lindale is 23-0-1

UIL states that a shootout is a tie.

But still unbeaten!

Quick, someone call mt. pleasant and tell them that technically they tied Lindale. That'll make em feel better.

That is true

Quick, someone run and tell everyone you are an idiot.

If you had a team that was 18-2-6 and all 6 ties are wins then the coach counts them as wins and has a record of 24-2 then it does matter in the seeding process at state.

At this point, who cares. Its real simple, win, you play on. Lose, you go home. Nothing else matters. (i.e. records)

Technically (this will open a can of worms) but UIL stated that the game between Lindale and Kilgore that ended early was a loss to Lindale. Check with UIL on this decision. Lindale is a good team and deserves to be undefeated till they play Pinetree. However, Im pretty sure that because the game was called by the Lindale coach it was considered a loss by Lindale.

The mt.pleasant game goes down as a tie. The shootout was just to determine which team advances to the next round.

I'll say it again.

Not holding anything against Lindale...a strong team. You have to be strong to have a 23-0-1 record. I was just stating UIL rules. Thats all...good luck tonight.

Let me help this argument and discussion a little bit.

I recorded an interview with Coach Lawless this morning, and he himself says Lindale is officially 23-0-1.

If they reach the state tournament, the UIL will probably change their record to the shootout being a victory on their record.

Until then, officially they are 23-0-1.

Did they beat Mount Pleasant?

Yes.

Does it count as a win in general terms?

Yes.

Officially, on their record, for now, it's not, they are 23-0-1, but it doesn't matter---it's not about the record, it's about advancing.

My interview with Coach Lawless is set for 5:34pm on Tuesday, March 31st.

Smoaky

Thanks for clearing that up Smoaky. I was curious about that myself.

With all due respect Smoaky of course Lawless would say their record is better
than it may or may not be according to the UIL. If no one has corrected him
or set him straight on how ties and shootouts are recorded by the UIL then until
someone saws otherwise he will say they are 23-0-1.

Sorry to get everyone off topic...so I will move it forward.

There are going to be some interesting matchups tonight for the Region 2 boys.

West Mesquite vs. Newman Smith - If anyone had these two matching up in the Quarterfinals I would be shocked. I have seen Newman Smith a couple of times this year and when they get a lead they do very well defending. Coming from behind is another story. They have a very speedy and skilled forward that their offense runs through.

McKinney vs. Mesquite Poteet - This should be a great matchup...Both teams have had tight games during these playoffs (McKinney 1-0 vs. Wakeland and 1-0 vs. McKinney North OT -- Poteet won both of their games in shootouts.) Poteet defends very well and excels at set pieces and long throws, while McKinney has a solid group all around. Would not be surprised to see another shootout. Poteet is 2-0-3 vs. McKinney in the past three seasons, including a 0-0 earlier this year.

North Dallas vs. Longview Pinetree - Would give the edge to Pinetree, but North Dallas has been playing their best soccer during this playoff run. They are 2-1 against teams still in the playoffs, but the one loss is to Pinetree. That came early in the season and we will see how much both of these teams have improved. Pinetree has a solid group of players who play a solid system, but better not get caught looking forward to a possible Lindale matchup.

Lindale vs. Woodrow Wilson - Surprised to see Wilson still alive, but they have taken care of the teams that were presented to them. Havent really played a strong team in playoffs. Lindale will be like no team they have played so far. Speed and skill will make this very difficult for Wilson. Lindale sites are set on the regional tournament and I dont know if I blame them.

Predictions:
Newman Smith
McKinney - but very tight...could go either way. If there was a line it would be a "Pick 'em"
Pinetree - wouldnt be completely shocked if North Dallas pulled off the upset
Lindale

Would set up for a solid regional tournament if these are correct.

With all due respect junhun, I wasn't referring to the possible loss, I was referring to what the UIL considers the shootout victory against Mount Pleasant.

Smoaky

if this is true then why don't they have a loss?

so they should be 22-1-1 it looks like

I was at that game and Lindale AND Kilgore's coach agreed to call the match because players and fans alike were out of control and the referee's had lost control. Now that Kilgore is done with their season and Lindale is still playing and unbeaten, it seems as though someone somewhere is grasping for a little warm fuzzy feeling.

Changing subject:
Longview girls are down 1-2 , 25 mins to go in game
hows the other scores going?

Yes, i was under the impression it was a mutual agreement to end the game. And Lindale was up when the game was called...

Tonight at 7:30 it won't matter at all. Good luck to both teams!!
