LEE WINS ECISD
TOURNEY TITLE
ODESSA – Lee recorded a pair of 1-0 shutout wins Saturday to capture the ECISD Tournament championship.
The Rebels squeaked past district rival Odessa High, 1-0, in the championship game, and defeated El Paso Burges, 1-0, earlier in the day to advance to the title game.
Senior midfielder Nathan Ronquillo scored on a free kick with 16 minutes remaining to give Lee (4-0-1) the lead against OHS. Chris Mora had four saves to tally the clean sheet for the Rebels.
Against Burges, the Rebels prevailed behind a second-half goal from junior forward Gustavo Macias on a penalty kick. Mora and Cobi Lewis split time at goalkeeper for Lee in the win over Burges.
"It was a good day for the boys," Rebels head coach Chris Bryant said. "They played well. We played a very strong Odessa High team. We stuck with our game plan and were able to score a goal. It was a very hard fought match for both teams."
Lee will return to the pitch on Thursday when it heads to the West Texas A&M Tournament in Canyon.
MHS BEATS
EP ANDRESS
ODESSA – The Midland High boys soccer team closed out the ECISD Tournament with a 3-1 win over El Paso Andress at the ECISD Tournament.
MHS coach Jason Bush said it was a tough, hard-fought match throughout.
Jordan Alfaro scored the first goal for MHS with an assist by Ethan Reyes; Daniel Olivas scored off an assist by Daniel Nunez; and the final goal was scored by Nunez with an assist by Isreal Ramirez.
MHS (3-1) next plays in the West Texas A&M Tournament, beginning on Thursday, in Canyon.
LEE GOES 3-1
AT WT TOURNEY
CANYON – The Lee girls soccer team went 3-1 over the weekend at the WT Freeze Girls Soccer Tournament with a loss in the championship match against Wolfforth Frenship.
The Lady Rebels defeated Canyon Randall (2-1) and Canyon (2-0) on Thursday, defeated Randall (2-1) again on Friday before losing to defending District 2-6A champion Frenship (3-0) in the championship on Saturday.
In the first match against Randall, Bailey Gould scored with an assist by Sarah Ramos, while Terra Tucker scored the winning goal with an assist from Chloe Ramos.
In the win over Canyon, goals came from Aileen Ibarra, Sarah Ramos and Kaylie Castraneda with assists from Castaneda and Nayeli Galindo.
In the second match against Randall, Sarah Ramos and Chloe Ramos scored unassisted goals.
Lee coach Brandon Allen said his team played well in the tournament and in the win over Canyon, he said it was the best his team has played in the two seasons he's been the coach.
"It was just a total team effort," Allen said about the win over Canyon.
Allen added that the Lady Rebels had to win in a scrappy match in the second meeting against Randall. Then against Frenship, he said his team hung in there with the regional power and showed that this meeting was different than years past when the Lady Rebels would get blown out.
"We belonged on the field with them," Allen said. "It took 30 minutes for Frenship to score their first goal and we had some missed opportunities. We had two shots that if they would have gone in, it would have been a different game. I'm very pleased to where we are right now.
"Sarah Ramos played amazing throughout the tournament and Rylee Low played well. We also had a few young girls step up and I'm pleased with what they did for the first time out."
Lee next heads to the Fort Worth Brewer Tournament on Friday and Saturday.
