AISD schools went 4-8 in the first days of the UIL state tournament; here’s a breakdown of some local results, by division.
In Boys 4A, three of the four AISD teams are out in the first round: Travis walloped Marble Falls, 7-0, but it was Pflugerville Hendrickson over McCallum, Dripping Springs over Lanier, and Lake Travis over LBJ.
Girls 4A has just one AISD team left as well: McCallum beat Lampasas, 4-0; Pflugerville Hendrickson knocked out Crockett; Lake Travis beat Travis, 10-0 (!); and LBJ beat Killeen, but then lost 9-0 to Dripping Springs in the sectional final. Too bad those two Southwest powerhouses meet in the regional quarterfinal; either one could go a long way in this tournament.
In 5A Boys, Pflugerville Connally, and Round Rock Stony Point and McNeil advanced to the second round; Bowie, Akins, Cedar Park, Georgetown, and Pflugerville all exited in the first round.
Among 5A Girls, Bowie, Westlake, and Round Rock Westwood and McNeil advanced; Pflugerville, Cedar Park, and Round Rock High dropped in the first round.
The playoff results are available from the UIL only as PDF downloads of the brackets, with scores filled in. Weird, but sort of charming.
