VYPE U: A Rising Soccer Star for Lonestar Austin

Patrick O'Leary
Jun 17, 2021

Ian Watson-Hemphill is one of the most astounding people I have ever met. Standing at six foot four and clocking in at a little over 180 pounds, this seemingly nerdy, uncoordinated kid is not only one of the greatest high school basketball players I have ever seen, but he is also one of the best high school soccer players in the state. However, his journey to that status has not been easy. To understand how he has got to where he has gotten, we must go back more than a decade and take a trip to an indoor soccer field that houses a league for toddlers.

Ian had athletic potential from a very young age as he and his friends were able to dominate the six and under divisions almost as soon as he stepped on the field. Ian's teams were so good that they started to play in the league above the 6 and under division, so by the time he and his friends were supposed to be in that division they were one of the best teams in that division. However, it soon became clear that Ian was meant for more, so at the age of eight, he transferred from the indoor league to the Lonestar soccer club.
