The Panthers will make their fourth all-time state tournament appearance at Birkelbach Field in Georgetown next week.
“Our district with Coppell, Hebron, Marcus, the Plano schools — it’s one of the hardest districts to get out of,” Doyle said. “And if you survive that, there’s not another harder game that you’re going to come up against in the playoffs than playing those guys twice a year. It’s a hell of a region to get out of.”Next week, Flower Mound will contend for its second title in program history and its first since winning it all in 2019. Lots of high fives to go around.
The only vulnerability the Panthers offered came in the 22nd-minute penalty kick. But Diaz, who commanded his box throughout the game and snatched any errant crosses and came out for 50-50 balls when needed, stepped up to keep Cypress Woods off the scoreboard. “ gave us a lot of motivation, because it was against the team that is also our rival,” Parra said. “We just really wanted to go back and show Texas what we are about.”
Before this year, West Mesquite hadn’t advanced past the second round of the playoffs since 2012. It lost to Wakeland in overtime in the second round last year.
