18 Apr, 2024
Matthew Ogle (VYPE)
The 2023-24 soccer season saw some amazing talent grace the Greater Houston-Area pitches across the public and private school landscapes.
With a bevy of teams -- Cinco Ranch, Magnolia West, Cy Woods, College Park, Kingwood, The Woodlands, Humble, Kingwood Park, and B.F. Terry -- advancing to the Regional Tournament, followed up with Goose Creek Memorial and Seven Lakes reaching State, it's clear that H-Town was emphatically well-represented on the high school stage.
In private school, Episcopal dominated in the SPC before claiming the program's second-straight state title. Meanwhile, in TAPPS, St. Pius X, British International, St. Thomas Episcopal, Cypress Christian, and St. Thomas enjoyed stellar years.
Given that information, it's time to unveil the 2024 All-VYPE Boys Soccer teams presented by Houston Methodist Orthopedics & Sports Medicine.

PUBLIC SCHOOL BOYS SOCCER
TEAM OF THE YEAR: Seven Lakes Spartans
Matthew Ogle (VYPE)
Not much more can be said about this team that hasn't already. Seven Lakes is a soccer dynasty.
Following a 2-1 overtime thriller against Flower Mound in the State Final, which was ultimately decided by a monumental free-kick by senior Aidan Morrison (UIL-6A State MVP), the Spartans became the first-ever Class 6A team to claim two consecutive championships.
The Katy ISD powerhouse cleaned up in the All-Tournament honors, with the aforementioned Morrison, Noa Stasic, Kortay Koc, and senior goalkeeper Ben Aviles Vera all being recognized as some of the best in the business.
While several key pieces will be graduating in the coming weeks, it still wouldn't come as a shock if Seven Lakes is back in Georgetown next Winter.
TEAM OF THE YEAR HONORABLE MENTION
Goose Creek Memorial Patriots (5A State Semifinalists)
Cinco Ranch Cougars (Region III-6A Finalists)
Cypress Woods Wildcats (Region II-6A Finalists)
Magnolia West Mustangs (Region III-5A Finalists)
Kingwood Park Panthers (5A Regional Semifinalists)
...
COACH OF THE YEAR: James Krueger, Seven Lakes
Matthew Ogle (VYPE)
Naturally, the coach of a team that establishes a precedent to the degree that Seven Lakes has should get this recognition.
Krueger has transformed the Spartans program into a state super-power over the course of the 17 years he's been with them. He was named the UIL-6A Coach of the Year minutes after the final whistle, and rightfully so.
Furthermore, the relationships he's built with his players are visibly impactful, as one could see the emotion both he and the team felt when the celebrations began.

Check out the interview below!
Jamey Wright (VYPE)
There are so many uber-athletes on stage this week as the Regional Track Meets dominate the high school outlook. Let’s take a look at the BIG TICKETS in Greater Houston as teams and individuals battle for their spot at State.
...
JELANI WATKINS, Atascocita
Bradley C. Collier (VYPE)
Atascocita’s Jelani Watkins is “that” guy. Watkins has made the Eagles a State favorite after transferring from Klein Forest last summer. He led KF to a State title a year ago and is the two-time defending champion in the 200-meters. He will lead the all-time national record holder for the 4 x100 relay team as well as the 4x200. The LSU football signee could almost win a track meet himself with a shot in the 100-meters also in his grasp. Remember Matthew Boling? Well, all eyes will be on Watkins as he continues to build on his resume.
…
KEVIN BELLO, Cinco Ranch
Who is this guy? The senior won a the 100 and 400-meters at the Area Meet and finished second in the 200-meters. He also anchors the 4x400 relay. He will be a force to be reckoned with in the Class Region III Meet.
…
BATTLE OF THE STICKS
2023-24 Klein Forest Girls Track & FieldJamey Wright (VYPE)
Klein Forest, Paetow, Randle and Summer Creek girls are showing out in the Class 6A and 5A relays. The Klein Forest Golden Eagles are the current queens coming out of Houston, but the competition is heating up. They will be in Region II, and Paetow and Summer Creek will battle it out in Region III. The new school – Randle – is going to be dangerous on the girls and boys side. Are they the new FB Marshall?
…
LONDON CALLING
Katy’s London Jackson-Bray in the next big thing in girls track. She has won the 100 and 200 in the Area Meet and is no stranger to elite track and field. Don’t sleep on Celeste Robinson of Cypress Ranch in the sprints along with Avia Jones of Klein Forest.
...
H(Hurdle)-TOWN
Ridge Point's Mason DossettJamey Wright (VYPE)
The city of Houston is loaded with tremendous hurdlers. Ridge Point’s Mason Dossett (Baylor football) is a beast in the 100-hurdles and Tompkins’ Jayden Keys carry the flag in the 300 hurdles. Cy Park’s Calvion Fuller (100 meters) and Andrew Jones of Klein Collins (300 meters) are also contenders. On the girls side, Lillian Harden of Bridgeland is a favorite to get to State. Kelly Frederick of Summer Creek and Mackenzie Collins of Shadow Creek are also hurdle specialists along with Aaliyah Booker of The Woodlands.
…
SPEED MERCHANTS
Iliya Dryaba of The WoodlandsBradley C. Collier (VYPE)
Other names who will emerge this week include Tompkins’ Jhase McMillan (Montana State football), Klein Cain’s Darius Rogers, Tomball Memorial’s Braylin Byrd, Klein Forest’s Lawson Jacobs, FB Bush's Amariya Hardeman, Dekaney’s Tanook Hines and Iliya Dryaba of The Woodlands are legit blurs on the track. Watch out for freshmen Landen Williams-Callis of Randle and Jordan Riggs of FB Marshall, who are looking special and will have big-time careers.
…
THE LONG RUN
Klein's Katie KoontsJamey Wright (VYPE)
Pearland’s Maddie Peters is “that” girl. She has dominated the Houston long-distance landscape for a few seasons now. Staucie Lees of Grand Oaks and Katie Koonts (Tulsa-signee) of Klein are also contenders from H-Town. Cool story… Tompkins siblings Griffen and Rowan Saacke are tremendous long-distance talents on the boys and girls side, respectively. They push each other, which makes them solid candidates to reach the podium.
