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

RECRUIT SCOOP: All eyes are on Forney LB and Aggie-commit
Kelvion Riggins was the anchor of the Forney defense last year, helping lead the Jackrabbits to a 13-2 record and a State Semifinal appearance.
After a great junior season the star 2025 linebacker pledged his commitment to Texas A&M in January.
Riggins was one of the first commits in the 2025 class for Texas A&M and new staff under coach Mike Elko. Since then, he’s been locked in on what the Aggies are trying to build.
“The history and culture at the school and throughout the program is amazing,” he said. “I just see Coach Elko building that winning culture like he did at Duke.”
The Aggie linebacker commit was one of the best defensive players in the state last year, but football wasn’t originally what he wanted to play.
“I honestly started playing football because I was trash at baseball,” he laughed. “My Dad was my coach and told me I should try football. Once I got to my freshman year, I started doing my thing and figured out football is what I wanted to do.”
Sports is a family affair in the Riggins house. Kelvion’s Dad played at Georgia Southern, his Mom ran track and his sister is Top 40 softball player in the country for the Class of 2027.
“We’re a sports family,” he said. “When I’m not focusing on football, I’m supporting my sister who’s a freshman on varsity. We are always doing something that has to do with sports.”
Outside of playing football, Riggins has started coaching youth players in the Blue Chips football camp. For Riggins, it’s all about showing the kids the sport he loves.
“I just wanted to give back to the little kids,” Riggins said. “I wanted to show some love and how to play the game the right way. That's the same way I had players and coaches do for me at a young age.”
With the athletic pedigree, his commitment in the bag, what else does he have to accomplish?
“Obviously, the goal for this year is to make it to State and win it all," he said. "For me, I’m trying to have 150 tackles, 30 tackles for loss and three pick six’s.”
