(March 23, 2015) — The District 4-4A girls soccer championship came down to penalty kicks Tuesday evening, and this time went in Wylie’s favor.

Stephenville won the last time the Honeybees went to PKs with Wylie, but not this time. Not with the district championship on the line.

Tatum Sharp scored two goals, the second off a nifty assist from Bayleigh Chaviers, to dig Stephenville out of a 2-0 hole. Wylie appeared to have an insurmountable advantage after moving ahead 2-0 in the 49th minute.
