KINGWOOD MUSTANGS
This winter has taken on profound significance for Kingwood. In Adam Bell’s third year as head coach, he and the Lady Mustangs have dedicated their season to the memory of the late Pres Holcomb, the longtime KHS coach whom Bell succeeded in 2023–24. Holcomb, a respected community pillar in Humble ISD, passed away on April 5, 2025, after a battle with Stage 4 colon cancer. The Mustangs have embraced the responsibility of honoring his legacy.
Their dedication has fueled an unbeaten 26–0–2 campaign, culminating in a State Tournament berth—the program’s first in 22 years. Last Friday, they defeated Dripping Springs 1–0, propelling Kingwood to its first UIL title game since 2002 and giving the squad a shot at its first championship since 1999—and third overall.
Given the team’s flawless record, it’s no surprise the Mustangs boast a well-balanced profile across every phase. The defense has conceded just 10 goals all winter—four of them in the postseason—while the attack has produced a staggering 129 goals in 2026.
Anchoring the Kingwood backline are team captains Kate Kristiansen and Camryn Hicks, both seniors, along with Addison Abdmoulaie and Elizabeth Quinn (SFA). Fellow seniors Concepcion Maya (Texas Women’s University signee) and Harper Mills help drive the attack alongside junior forward Ellie Wood, offering a glimpse of the collective threat the Mustangs present.

FORNEY JACKRABBITS
Forney’s return to the Final Four for a second straight season—also just the second appearance in team history—proved anything but routine, as the Jackrabbits toppled previously No. 1-ranked Southlake Carroll and handed the Dragons their lone loss of the winter on Saturday afternoon.
In doing so, the Jackrabbits, led by head coach Trisha Williamson, advanced to their first-ever championship match. Forney’s 28–1 campaign reflects everything one could hope for in a contender: an unwavering ability to perform when the stakes are at their peak.
Powering this emerging standard is a roster filled with genuinely elite competitors, and few embody that distinction more than junior midfielder Addison Smith. Committed to Samford University since October, Smith leads Forney in both scoring and distribution, tallying 31 goals and 19 assists this season.
She’s supported in the attack by forwards Kalani Brundage (Jr.) and Addison Staats (Soph.), who have recorded 18 and 13 goals, respectively. Senior midfielder Devyn Gee helps drive the offense, while junior goalkeeper Cinnamon Hurst (Texas A&M-Corpus Christi commit) fortifies the defensive end with 10 shutouts this year

Whataburger Team of the Week: Kingwood Girls Soccer stays perfect as district race tightens
Kingwood has firmly asserted itself as one of the hottest teams in Texas as the season moves beyond its midway point. Under head coach Adam Bell, the Lady Mustangs have surged to an unbeaten 14-0-1 start, stacking quality results against heavyweights like Stratford and district rival Atascocita in their first meeting of the winter. The consistency of that run has placed Kingwood squarely among the state’s most reliable contenders.
A recent 1-1 draw with Summer Creek (10-3-4) offered a reminder of the volatility that explains District 23-6A, where margins are thin and results rarely come easy. Still, Kingwood’s defensive profile continues to separate it from the field. Through the early portion of 2026, KHS has allowed just four goals, a telling indicator as they position themselves in the district title race.
That defensive identity begins along the back line, anchored by 2025 Team MVP Kate Kristiansen and Addie Abdmoulaie. Both first-team all-district selections a year ago, the senior duo provides stability and composure. They’re complemented by Camryn Hicks, a second-team honoree, along with the SFA-bound Elizabeth Quinn and Helen Shamaly, forming a unit defined by cohesion.
Offensively, Texas Woman’s University signee Concepcion Maya supplies the primary scoring threat. A first-team all-district selection, Maya’s versatility allows her to influence the game as a forward or from an attacking midfield role. Behind her, senior holding midfielder Harper Mills plays an integral role in coordinating the attack, dictating tempo, and linking lines.
The second half of district play rarely offers comfort, only clarity. Kingwood has responded with control, pairing discipline at the back with purpose going forward. After a three-round postseason run a year ago, the Lady Mustangs aren’t navigating new territory—they’re reinforcing what has already been established.
