VYPE Coaches Corner: Cinco Ranch Soccer Coach Ryan Searle; Playoff Preview
After going 13-3-4 during the regular season, and taking silver within the loaded District 19-6A, the Cinco Ranch Cougars are headed back to the playoffs.
Under the direction of Coach Ryan Searle, the Cougs have been buoyed by the stellar performances of key figures such as Andres Riera (Jr. F), Miguel Leite (Sr. F), Carter Moring (Jr. D), and Ossian Elgstrom (Sr. D), among others.
VYPE's Matthew Ogle caught up with coach Searle, as he and Cinco Ranch prepare to take on Fort Bend Hightower on Tuesday in the opening round of the 2024 postseason.

BASES LOADED: No. 6 Cinco Ranch will be a force to be reckoned with
No. 6 -- Cinco Ranch Cougars
2023: 33-7 (District 19-6A Co-Champions/Regional Semifinalist)
Cinco Ranch was a welcome surprise in 2023, bursting onto the scene to emerge as co-district champs (14-2) alongside Tompkins, after missing out on the playoffs a year prior.
From there, the Cougars would advance four rounds deep into the postseason, which would earn coach Brett Wallace the District 19-6A Coach of the Year award.
Wallace has the benefit of bringing back the majority of that same roster, namely first-teamers Brock DeYoung (Texas State-commit) and Lucas Franco (TCU), as well as second-teamers Brayden Hodge (East Texas Baptist) and Thomas Guy.
Despite competing in a loaded district, count on Cinco being in the Regional Final conversation.
