COLLEGE PARK CAVALIERS
After a 4–3 penalty shootout victory over Magnolia West in the Area Round, College Park has largely enjoyed smooth sailing, flexing its form against Lakeview Centennial (5–0) and district rival Grand Oaks (2–0) in the ensuing rounds.
As expected in a Final Four matchup, however, coach Mike Jaskowiak and the Cavs were pushed to grind out a 1–0 result against Plano West a week ago, underscoring their ability to win in multiple ways. With the victory, College Park (18-3-3) punched its inaugural ticket to the UIL State Final—all in just the program’s second Tournament appearance (2019).
One factor that has set the Cavaliers apart is their palpable cohesiveness. The group operates on the same wavelength across all phases of the pitch, a rhythm driven by senior leaders—team captains Alex Harcourt in the midfield and Sebastián Hernández along the backline.
Goalkeeper Miguel Becerra fortifies the defense, while striker Salem Sharif and attacking midfielder Lincoln Wilson headline the offensive effort.

SUMMER CREEK BULLDOGS
What a difference a year makes. After winning just five matches the season prior, Summer Creek has engineered one of the most dramatic turnarounds in recent Texas high school soccer history.
In his first season at the helm, head coach Parker O’Quinn guided the Bulldogs from last to first in the rugged District 23-6A, then carried that momentum through the playoffs—most recently routing Vandegrift 3–0 in last week’s State Semifinals. Summer Creek (21–2–6) has more than earned its place in the UIL title game, marking the program’s first appearance.
It’s no secret where the Bulldogs’ greatest strength lies: the defense has conceded just 19 goals all season—only one of them in the playoffs. Consequently, team captains Patrick Cleveland (Sr.), Bruno Montemayor (Jr.), and Kainoa Carlsward (Jr.) form a stingy defensive core.
On the other side of the pitch, Summer Creek’s balanced attack is powered by Jacob Craven (Jr. ST), Caden Baba (Jr. MF), and Ty Fernandez (Jr. MF).

KLEIN CAIN HURRICANES
Klein Cain has taken its trademark “REIGNCAIN” vernacular quite literally, as the defending state champions now sit just two halves away from going back-to-back on the biggest stage in Texas.
Following a decisive 2–0 victory over The Woodlands in the Region II Final, the Hurricanes’ conditioned pedigree shone through once again in the ensuing 6A Division 1 Semifinal. Despite a 0–0 draw at the end of regulation, head coach Jerson Carrasco watched his squad endure the pressure of penalty kicks, ultimately seizing control of their own fate with a 5–4 shootout victory over Allen last Friday.
Entering this decisive matchup with an 18–3–5 record, Cain has maintained the synchronized, technical efficiency that delivered its inaugural title a year ago. Senior forward Parker Glenn—last season’s State MVP—can alter the trajectory of any match in an instant and currently leads the Hurricanes with 22 goals in 2026.
In the engine room, senior midfielder Noah Ballard—team captain alongside Glenn—helps orchestrate the attack, while senior goalkeeper Donato Farina anchors the defensive end behind a formidable Klein Cain backline.

ATASCOCITA EAGLES
Emboldened by a fanbase as expansive as Klein Cain’s, Atascocita is in the midst of a playoff run of resounding proportions. Head coach Jed Garner and the Eagles not only made the program’s debut in the State Final Four a week ago, but followed it by routing Cibolo Steele 4–1 at Cy-Fair FCU Stadium to seal their place in the UIL title game. Now, all that remains for Atascocita (21–5–3) is to cap off the winter with a gold medal.
Despite being a sophomore, goalkeeper Lincoln Ramirez has already been named both a team captain and the starter—a testament to the faith Garner places in his poise between the posts. It also reflects well on the defense, anchored by captain Wyatt Bodily (Jr. CB), which hasn’t conceded more than one goal in a match since February.
On the attacking end, versatility has emerged as a defining trait for the Eagles, forcing opponents to pick their poison among the threats posed by Julian Sanchez (Jr. F), Miguel De La Cruz (Sr. F), Victor Garcia (Sr. MF), and Pedro Olvera (So. MF).
