PROSPER \u2014 Orlando Simancas\u2019 header with 2:38 remaining in the second overtime session proved to be the game winner as Plano West outlasted Southlake Carroll, 3-2, in a Class 6A Division II Region II semifinal at Children\u2019s Health Stadium. <\/p>\n

The final goal started with a corner kick by Matt Kent. Simancas, in a crowd of Plano West players, easily knocked the rebound past Carroll keeper Graham Byrne.<\/p>\n

Simancas tied the game just over two minutes earlier off a rebound that started with a corner kick by Kent. Plano West applied tons of pressure and Simancas\u2019 shot easily blew by Byrne.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe changed our formation after Carroll scored and did not think they had seen or were ready for the change,\u201d said Plano West head coach Clint Cobb. \u201cAfter tying it we went back to our normal formation.\u201d<\/p>\n

John Skiermont scored with 5:24 remaining in the first overtime session to give Carroll the lead.<\/p>\n

\u201cI told our kids not to panic. We have seen games where a team was behind by two goals late in the game and came back to win,\u201c said Cobb.<\/p>\n

It was an evenly played first half. Plano West scored quickly into the game when Max Kent blew it by the Carroll keeper. Plano West had the numbers advantage just a few feet from the goal.<\/p>\n

Carroll (16-0-9) tied the game with 22:30 remaining in the first half on a goal by Drew Stitzel on an assist from Skiermont. Skiermont found Stitzel open in center of net and Stitzel blew it past Plano West keeper Max Pocsik.<\/p>\n

Plano West (17-5-1) will face Jesuit in the region final.<\/p>\n
