SISTER ACT: Matula sisters, future Texas A&M stars, join forces on pitch

This girls soccer season at St. Pius X will be a special one for the Matula family.

Sisters Macy and Margo Matula will be on the same field this year at the TAPPS private school, playing as teammates.

Junior Macy will graduate early next winter, leaving freshman Margo to hold down the fort at the prep level for three more seasons.

But let's not get ahead of ourselves.

"A bunch of people say we look and play alike," the older Macy laughs. "I don't see it, though. She's a blonde and plays defense."

On the field, St. Pius X is going to be much- improved with the arrival of a new coach and the decorated freshman.

"We have a great relationship," Margo says. "But we are siblings. Sometimes we are yelling at each other and part ways, but mostly we are really close and talk about everything."

While the sisters will have one year of high school ball, they will reunite at Texas A&M, as both have committed to the Aggies women's soccer team.

"We visited a few college campuses and fell in love with the people at Texas A&M," Macy said. "The coaches have great relationships with their players, and the support staff is amazing. It's a big family. My parents, who went to the University of Texas, helped me a lot with my college decision."

The pair committed in 2018 after Macy's freshman year. Margo was entering the eighth grade.

...
Macy led the way to the pitch.

"We played everything from basketball, flag football to volleyball," Macy said. "We did gymnastics and ballet. I was just better
at soccer and I started to like it more, of course. I was a lefty, which is sort of rare and coaches needed that position. I'm also not that coordinated with my hands, so soccer works for me.

"From there, Margo just followed me," she said.

"We played for the YMCA and then club," Margo added. "We then started playing with the Albion Hurricanes. It was all about fun. If I didn't like my coaches or teammates when I started, I wouldn't be in the sport. If it wasn't fun, I would have had to quit."

With their college decisions out of the way, the Matulas are now focused on getting St. Pius X soccer back on the map.

"I'm looking forward to the season," Margo said entering her freshman year. "Don't get me wrong, I want to win and for everyone to try their best, but I also want to build relationships and have fun."

"I love it here," Macy said. "I'm not really super- outgoing. I love being at a place where I know everyone and build close friendships. That's what it's all about, right?

"It's also a place where teachers and the administration are genuinely pulling for you."

Carpenter tabbed to lead Klein Oak Football

HOUSTON - Brandon Carpenter is ready to continue developing the KOlture at Klein Oak High School.

The Klein Oak football offensive coordinator was announced on Tuesday as the next head football coach for the Panthers, replacing Jason Glenn, who moved into administration earlier this spring.

"It's an immeasurable sense of gratitude," Carpenter told VYPE via Twitter. "Oak is a special place, I'm surrounded by incredible student-athletes and very special people. I'm blessed to have come in with Coach Glenn in 2017 & help establish our KOlture, it's incumbent upon me to continue developing that vision for our young people."

I'm proud to announce that the new Head Football Coach, and Campus Athletic Coordinator @KLEINOAKFB @KleinOak, Brandon Carpenter! “Carp" has served as the Off. Coord. for the program the past 4 years. He's a great man, father, husband, and educator! @vypehouston @Matt_Stepp817 pic.twitter.com/DmBmVvePdC
— Thomas Hensley (@thomashensley) April 13, 2021

For the past four seasons, Carpenter has served as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach under Glenn, who took over the program in 2017.

In that span, Klein Oak went 31-15 overall and made the playoffs every single season. The Panthers registered 10 wins in the 2018 and 2019 campaigns, averaging 31.2 points per game in 2018.

But it's not all about the stats and wins for Glenn when you first mention Carpenter.

"He's a great man first and foremost!," Glenn, the new Klein ISD Director of Student Outreach, said. "And that's what the program has been about since we came together to run Oak! He will continue to put the kids first and will win a lot of games!

"He will teach them that football is great but what type of man/lady will you be without sports! He's my brother, my friend and I'm so happy for him, the school and our community! I love my guy! [Klein Oak Principal] Thomas Hensley made a great hire!"

LETS GOOOOOOOO! So happy and proud of my brotha @Coach_BCarp ! He is the NEW Head Coach /AD for @KLEINOAKFB ! @thomashensley great hire! You guys will be AMAZING at making @KleinOak even more special! Gods plan never fails! @blackstacy94 you can fix that walk now! 😂 #OVERJOYED pic.twitter.com/UOB4D60Oqr
