The boys and girls Varsity soccer teams have had a tremendous starts to their seasons. Both teams are under new leadership this year, with new Head Coach, Christian Guevara for the boys, and Katelyn Rhodes for the girls squad. The Varsity boys, who won the TAPPS 4A State Championship last year, have started 3-0 in their young season in pursuit of a title defense. They have outscored their opponents in those 3 games by a total of 20-1! The girls team has started 4-0 for the first time in school history! They have outscored their opponents, 20-4 over that stretch.

After speaking with Coach Guevara, he was excited about the start of the boys season. “It has been a great start to the year for our program. A lot of that is do to the fact that these players are driven to prove that they are the best. Key players have been stepping up early in the season. Senior leadership has played a key role in our success, we are seeing great play from Ross B, Fraser K, Andrea T, and Michael W. Newcomers have also played a role in our success, Marco S is proving to be a vital player in our system. Overall, everyone has been very dedicated to the season, and is hoping for a great outcome.”

Coach Rhodes was also very enthusiastic and complimentary of her player’s work ethic when speaking about her group.“The one thing I love most about this team is the hard work and dedication they bring to the field everyday as a team. That has been the biggest key to the success we have had so far this year.” The Vikings have been led by Senior, Jessica H, who scored 4 goals against Episcopal, which tied a school record. Her teammate, and co-record holder, Rafaella C, also has 7 goals on the year, scoring 4 in one game against Incarnate Word. The Lady Vikings are anchored in their defense by Junior, Valentina C. Underclassmen, Gabrielle Brissette is also pitching in with 3 assists and 3 goals on the year.

Fun Fact: The Varsity girls soccer team has scored 20 goals through the first 4 games. That is only 10 goals shy of the School Record for goals scored in a single season with a lot of games remaining. The future looks bright!
