HP Will Face Cinco Ranch in Semifinals
The pairings are set, and Highland Park will play Katy Cinco Ranch in the Class 6A state semifinals at noon Friday in Georgetown.
The Lady Scots (24-0-2) will make their 10th state tournament appearance, and first in the state’s highest classification. They were dominant during a postseason run through Region II, shutting out all five of their opponents, including a 3-0 victory over Pflugerville Hendrickson in the regional final.
The Lady Cougars (23-2) lost in the state semifinals last season and earned a return trip to the state tournament with a 3-0 win over District 19-6A rival Katy Seven Lakes last weekend. Like HP, Cinco Ranch hasn’t allowed a goal thus far in the playoffs.
The first semifinal on Friday will match unbeaten Coppell (26-0-3) against perennial power San Antonio Reagan (21-2-2). The championship game is slated for 4 p.m. Saturday. We’ll have a more detailed preview later this week.
