KELLER INDIANS
After dispatching Coppell in last week’s Region I Final—defeating the defending 6A Division 1 champions 2–1 to reach the Final Four for the first time since 2017—Keller continued its monumental run by setting a new benchmark for the club.
With another 2–1 victory, this time over Sachse, the Jeff Simpson-led Indians advanced to the UIL title game for the first time in program history, carrying an impressive 22-4-1 record into Georgetown.
Headlining Keller’s remarkably composed squad is a core of first-team all-district selections from last winter—namely senior forwards Ella Gutierrez and Claire Garritson (UTSA signee), along with senior defender Riley Hewitt (Houston) and sophomore midfielder Billie Davis.
Meanwhile, senior Ava Johnston has emerged as a true difference-maker between the posts, stepping up brilliantly following the graduation of last year’s District 4-6A Goalkeeper of the Year, Lennox Kauchak.
ROUND ROCK DRAGONS
Matching Keller in the magnitude of the moment, Round Rock (21-2-4) punched the program’s first-ever ticket to the state championship last Friday—albeit in dramatic fashion.
After a 1–1 draw with Summer Creek in the semifinal, the Dragons proved their mettle by prevailing 4–3 in the ensuing penalty shootout, keeping their hopes of capturing an inaugural UIL title alive and well.
Under head coach Chad Aldrich, Round Rock has allowed just 12 goals all winter, with only three coming in the postseason.
On the attacking end, the Dragons have relied on a host of standout performers, including Grace El-Deir (Texas State signee), Audrey Redus (Texas State), Carlee Deegan (Texas A&M–Corpus Christi), Montse Hernandez Soto, and Aidan Hernandez—all of whom earned first-team all-district honors last year.

WAKELAND WOLVERINES
Wakeland has seemingly made Georgetown its home away from home, as Friday will mark the ninth time the Wolverines compete for a UIL crown. Last week also marked the team’s tenth appearance in the State Tournament, a testament to the deep-rooted soccer culture that has helped to define Wakeland since the school opened in 2006.
Setting history aside, head coach Andy Holt and his squad now turn their focus to Pieper—the final obstacle standing between them and a sixth state championship, as well as their first banner since 2022.
Boasting a 26-1-1 record, the Wolverines feature one of the most high-octane midfield cores in Texas, led by seniors Waleed Hadj-Hamou and Cameron Warner, alongside junior Axel Alvarado. Up front, senior striker DJ Summons adds another dynamic element to Wakeland’s already potent attack.
PIEPER WARRIORS
Groundbreaking is one of the few ways to describe Pieper’s unprecedented 20-2-5 campaign this winter. After a 1–1 draw that went to a tense penalty shootout, the Warriors edged Austin LASA 4–3 last Friday, securing their long-awaited UIL State Final debut and riding a wave of peak momentum.
Seniors Blake Dildy and Nolan Masker were pivotal in the decisive penalties. Dildy, the team’s captain and leading midfield scorer, converted the game-winning kick, while Masker made two crucial saves to give the Warriors the edge.
Beyond the semifinal triumph, coach Corwyn Ritch has relied on an exceptionally balanced starting 11, featuring the talents of juniors Landon Villarreal (MF), Dominic Tondre (MF/F), Jack Blische (F), and Jackson Blankenship (MF).
