Bel Air proved they can win big last Wednesday (they won by four) and on Saturday they proved they can win the close ones too. They came out on top in a nail-biter against the Americas Trail Blazers, sneaking past 2-1. Given the Highlanders' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas soccer rankings (they are ranked 16th, while the Trail Blazers are ranked 169th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Alan Franco and Paul Oros scored both of Bel Air's goals, bringing their combined season tally to 22 goals.
Bel Air is on a roll lately: they've won nine of their last 11 matchups. That somehow still isn't as good as their 16-2-2 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 46 goals over those 11 games. Americas is on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 8-6-1.
Coincidentally, Bel Air and Americas will both be playing Horizon the next time they take the pitch. Americas will host Horizon at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, while Bel Air will head out to face them at 10:30 a.m. on March 8th.
