The Vikes traveled to Plano last Saturday for the first State Qualifying Tournament (SQT) of the 2021 season. It was a very windy day and that coupled with the new rule shortening games by 25%, kept scores down for all 24 teams for the most part. Below are the results of our pool:
Denton Guyer 40, North Garland 7
Frisco Wakeland 29, Arlington Lamar 20
Arlington Lamar 19, Denton Guyer 7
Frisco Wakeland 27, North Garland 12
Denton Guyer 25, Frisco Wakeland 19
Arlington Lamar 14, North Garland 12
3-way tie at 2-1 between Frisco/Lamar/Guyer. 1st “tie breaker” is points scored; only points scored between the 3 teams in the tie are counted:
Frisco: 29 + 19 = 48 (most points so pool winner)
Lamar: 20 + 19 = 39
Guyer: 7 + 25 = 32
Frisco advanced to the qualifying round and won so they have now qualified for the State tournament.
For 2nd place the first tie breaker is “head to head”. Lamar beat Guyer so Lamar finished 2nd. Guyer 3rd; NG 4th
As you can see when we played well, we were probably the team to beat. Guyer beat Wakeland 25-19 and we beat Guyer 19-7. We were not as consistent as we need to be and we will have to learn to play up to our ability and not “down” to the competition. We did some really good things Saturday as well. So, while we have a lot of things to “clean up” our overall effort was good.
This Saturday (5/15) we play in the Arlington SQT. There are 7 total SQT’s that we intend to play in this season prior to the State Championship tournament in late June.
GO VIKES!
