If you\u2019re looking for the epicenter of high school soccer in North Texas right now, just follow the sound of the Dragon’s roar.<\/p>\n

Both theCarroll boys and girls soccer teams have secured top-tier spots in the latest “Dallas Morning News” area rankings, cementing the school\u2019s reputation as a dual-threat powerhouse in Class 6A.<\/p>\n

The Lady Dragons currently sit at\u00a0No. 1<\/a> in the Class 6A rankings\u00a0with a stellar\u00a014-0-1 record. Their dominance in District 4-6A has been a clinic in balanced play; the girls currently boast\u00a0an\u00a0overall goal differential of plus-71\u00a0as of February 12.<\/p>\n

The most terrifying part for opponents? The committee approach: not a single Lady Dragon appears in the top 20 <\/a>scorers in the DFW metroplex, proving that their offensive and defensive efforts are truly a team-wide suffocating force.<\/p>\n

Recent district results tell the story:<\/p>\n

8-0\u00a0win vs. Justin Northwest<\/p>\n

5-0\u00a0win vs. Eaton<\/p>\n

4-0\u00a0win vs. L.D. Bell<\/p>\n

5-1\u00a0win vs. Keller Central<\/p>\n

On the boys’ side, the Dragons are breathing down the necks of the 6A leaders, ranked\u00a0No. 3<\/a> in the classification\u00a0with an unblemished\u00a011-0-3 record. The team is playing with inspired energy following a historic milestone: head coach\u00a0Chris Padilla\u00a0recently claimed his\u00a0100th career win, a testament to the program’s long-term consistency and his leadership on the pitch.<\/p>\n

With eight wins, zero losses\u00a0and three ties, the boys have maintained a strong plus-20 goal differential. However, the road to a District 4-6A title won’t be a cakewalk. Local rival Byron Nelson is hot on their trail in the standings, making every upcoming match a “must-win” to maintain their lead. The rivalry reaches a fever pitch this week as the Dragons travel to\u00a0Northwest ISD Stadium on February 13 at 7:30 p.m. for a massive district showdown against the Bobcats. It’s still early in the season, but given that Byron Nelson is hungry to avenge an earlier 3-1 loss to Carroll, \u00a0this Friday night clash is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated games in the state this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you\u2019re looking for the epicenter of high school soccer in North Texas right now, just follow the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":473712,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[49,48,192556,192557,192559,561,82,192558],"class_list":["post-473711","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-dragon-pride","tag-dragon-soccer","tag-lady-dragon-soccer","tag-soccer","tag-sports","tag-tim-glaze"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/473711","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=473711"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/473711\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/473712"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=473711"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=473711"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=473711"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
