LAKE CREEK LIONS
In just her third season at the helm, head coach Alyssa Maynard has guided Lake Creek to its first-ever UIL State Final appearance. That’s not to say the Lions haven’t come close—just a year ago, they advanced to the Region III Final.
This time, however, Lake Creek broke through, securing thrilling victories over Friendswood (4–2) and Pieper (4–3) last week. Now sitting at 17-6-2, the Lions are just 80 minutes away from championship glory—fully embodying their calling card: “Leave No Doubt.”
LC is propelled by a balanced mix of youth and veteran composure, most evident in its attack—featuring juniors Hallie Montgomery, Lainy Zabiegala, and Harper Montgomery, along with sophomore Kenley Housman.
Anchoring the group is senior goalkeeper Pyper Johnson, whose presence and voice will be crucial in organizing the defense and helping dictate the tempo of the match.
GRAPEVINE MUSTANGS
From a team making its title game debut to one well-versed on the stage, Grapevine advanced to the Final Four for the ninth time since 2015, further cementing its place among the state’s elite.
At that point, the Mustangs delivered a dose of poetic justice, flipping the script on Wakeland with a 1–0 victory—the same team that eliminated them in the 2025 Semifinals. The win pushed Grapevine to 18-5-6 and secured another trip to Birkelbach Field.
Riding that momentum, the Mustangs now have the opportunity to capture their second state championship, adding to the title they claimed in 2023.
While Lake Creek has thrived behind its imposing attack, Grapevine has stifled opponents with a suffocating defensive effort. The Mustangs have recorded a program-best 24 shutouts this season, a testament to the cohesion that has become increasingly evident under head coach Steve McBride.
