Colleyville Heritage rallies in OT, Grapevine downs Legacy, 4-6A continues to shine
Colleyville Heritage 4, Burleson 3 OT
Freshman Allie Love’s goal in the 98th minute sent the Panthers past the Elks in a Class 5A Region 1 area championship on Tuesday at Arlington Lamar HS.
Heritage (19-5-3) will face Burleson Centennial (20-3-1), a 4-2 winner vs. Aledo, in the regional quarterfinals.
The Panthers got off to a slow start when the Elks (15-8-2) scored the game’s first two goals to take a 2-0 lead with 14 minutes left in the first half.
Maycie Massingill picked up a nice through ball from a teammate and out-ran a CHHS defender before scooting the ball past a diving goal keeper in the seventh minute.
Then during a Tatum Winn corner attempt, Massingill just beat the keeper before the side referee ruled that the ball crossed the goal line in the 26th minute.
But the Panthers got a much-needed score from Ryleigh Adams just before intermission.
Burleson goalie Peyton Roberts and CHHS goalie Juliana Grider made some terrific saves the entire match. Then the Elks led 3-1 when freshman Kendall Carlock booted a 30-yarder into the top right corner with 12 minutes remaining.
It was still more than enough time for Colleyville Heritage to make a comeback.
Five minutes later and Karalie Morrison’s goal cut it to 3-2. Then Gabi Gipson found the speedster Love who split two defenders, got the ball by a diving Grider and hit the easy wide open net to tie the game with 1:52 on the clock.
After a scoreless first overtime, Alex Whitcraft found Love again beating a defender before she booted in the game winner with under three minutes to play.

Freshman Caroline Martin kicked in a lefty goal to give Grapevine a 3-0 lead in the 22nd minute.
Camryn Gonzales scored for Legacy (13-5-4) with nine minutes before intermission, but less than a minute later Martin found the net for her second goal.
