Billed as the main event of the UIL soccer season, the 6A-Division I State Championship between Klein Cain and Alief Elsik delivered on every front.
Cain’s dramatic playoff run culminated in a 1-0 victory over Alief Elsik (24-2) on Saturday at Birkelbach Field, sealing the school’s first-ever state title in boys soccer — and its first championship of any kind since the school opened in 2017.
The Hurricanes (23-2-3) reached the final after a thrilling semifinal win over Plano West, advancing through a penalty shootout (7-6) following a hard-fought 1-1 draw. That victory extended Cain’s remarkable debut run in the State Tournament and set the stage for a tense showdown with Elsik.

Both teams struggled to break through during regulation, locked at 0-0 after 80 minutes. But with less than two minutes remaining in the first half of extra time, junior forward Parker Glenn delivered the moment of the match.
Finding space in the final third, Glenn buried the deciding goal to give Cain a 1-0 lead — and ultimately, a championship.
“It’s a feeling I can’t even begin to describe,” said Glenn, who was named the UIL 6A-Division I State MVP. “It’s unimaginable to know that this is the game that proved we’re the best team in the state of Texas — in the biggest division. I didn’t even dream of accomplishing something like this at the beginning of the season, and now we’re here.”

Cain’s championship wasn’t built on a single performance. Alongside Glenn, junior goalkeeper Donato Farina, senior forward Andre Popa, and junior defender Daniel Celis were named to the All-Tournament Team, representing the balance and strength throughout the Hurricanes' lineup.
Despite being a relatively young program, head coach Jerson Carrasco has built a standard rooted in discipline and belief — and this year’s squad brought that vision to life.

“The kids are the ones who put in the work,” Carrasco said. “The buy-in to the culture has been amazing from the start. Once I got here, I told them we’d consistently work on our craft and the results will come. Now, here we are as State Champs, and I just feel blessed to be with this program and to have these kinds of kids. It’s been awesome.”
With their championship secured and new precedent established, the Hurricanes now stand as a model of team culture can accomplish — earning their spot as the Whataburger Team of the Week.
The 6-foot-5, 300-plus pound offensive lineman from Klein High School has had a whirlwind month, welcoming a new head coach, committing to the University of Texas, and earning a prestigious Under Armour All-American Gameinvite—all in the span of 30 days.
After the hiring of former Fulshear coach Nick Codutti, who brings a blue-collar toughness and renewed energy to the Bearkat football program, Robertson’s path to the next level became even clearer.
"Nic is an extremely hard-working kid who I think hasn't even tapped into his potential yet," coach Nick Codutti said. "He is going to be a force to be reckoned with his senior year, and even more so going into college at the University of Texas."
“Coach Codutti brings a whole new vibe,” Robertson said. “I’m excited to play for him. I know he’s going to help us raise the bar.”
Shortly after the coaching transition, Robertson made a massive decision—committing to play for the Texas Longhorns.
“I really like the coaching staff,” he said. “Look, I want to be a National Champion and win the Outland Trophy. I think I can do that at Texas.”
His inspiration? Another Houston-area standout—Kelvin Banks of Summer Creek—who won the Outland Trophy at Texas and is projected as a top NFL Draft pick.
“To see a Houston guy like him do it? That’s crazy. That’s my goal.”
Robertson is slated to take his official visit to Austin in June, with other visits planned for Houston and USC.
Adding to the big month, Robertson earned an invite to the 2025 Under Armour All-American Game, marking a full-circle moment.
“I got an invite to play in the middle school All-American game back in eighth grade,” he said. “It’s really overwhelming to get this invite for my senior year. I’m really happy to represent Klein ISD.”
Now, with recruiting buzz behind him, Robertson is focused on finishing strong at Klein and helping the Bearkats return to the postseason.
“I’ve grown a little more and will be working on my footwork and keeping my pad level low,” he said. “I want to show everyone that I can play anywhere on the line.”
With size, strength, and serious motivation, Nicolas Robertson is one of Texas’ top trench warriors—and he’s just getting started.
Planet Ford Stadium played host to some of the best football talent in the state as Under Armour and ESPN rolled into Houston for their annual Under Armour Next Camp this past weekend.
