Given A Plus Academy's advantage in MaxPreps' Texas soccer rankings (they are ranked 234th, while Life Oak Cliff are ranked 623rd), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Meanwhile, Gainesville hasn't lost a match since February 4th, a trend which continued in their latest game on Friday. Everything went their way against Kemp as Gainesville made off with a 3-0 win.

Erick Ramirez and Cesar De La Rosa scored all three of Gainesville's goals, bringing their combined season tally to 24 goals.

A Plus Academy has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won nine of their last 11 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 14-4-3 record this season.
