North Mesquite girls hoping talented newcomers can grow up in a hurry

For some teams, early-season tournaments are simply about getting back out on the field and working out some kinks in preparation for start of district play.

North Mesquite falls on the opposite end of that spectrum.

The Stallion girls have a number of new faces this season and that includes the coaching staff, where Steve Harvey takes over as head coach after serving as an assistant for the North Mesquite boys team.

Sidekicks enjoy sweet revenge

Behind a stellar effort in goal from Sagu, the Dallas Sidekicks avenged their only loss of the season with a convincing 6-2 thumping of the Chicago Mustangs in front of 4,015 delighted fans Saturday at the Allen Event Center.


The Sidekicks (9-1) strengthened their hold on their PASL Central Division lead over Chicago (9-3) following their 8-7 overtime defeat to the Mustangs last week in Chicago.

Sidekicks Coach Tatu said the win was much more important than just the revenge factor.

"They are a difficult team to play against," he said. "They work hard and they are physical, so I thought we did well.

"This was big tonight," Tatu said, noting the upcoming schedule featuring two games against undefeated San Diego, along with a date at Southwestern Division leader Las Vegas. "We have to make sure we continue to win games if we want to get in the playoffs and have home field [advantage]."
