PITCH PERFECT; Klein Forest Boys have special class, Girls to create chaos
“We have a golden generation coming through KF this year,” sixth-year head coach Roger Ramirez said. “This group of seniors has been playing varsity for three years and have great chemistry. They are very coachable.”
Captains Cristian Cañas and Javeth Figueroa set the tone on both sides of the ball.

“Cristian wants to be the leading scorer in the district and displays intensity and mental toughness,” Ramirez said. “Javeth has great timing with defensive tackles, a good touch, and vision to help build from the back.”
Ramirez also mentioned Fernando Villarreal and Joshua Reyes in the midfield; Diego Martinez and Marvin Juarez on defense and Alex Discua in goal are tremendous players back in the nest.
“Our kids love to put on the KF jersey and represent their community,” he said. “They want to put KF soccer on the map.”

The girls struggled through a 0-12 district campaign but continued to battle and compete. Coach Juan Loera is building his culture and girls are buying in.
“It ’s all about chemistry and grit for us,” he said.“We don't want to be the underdog in the district anymore. We are trying to create some chaos, build perseverance, win a few district games and go from there.”
The strength of his team is the defense led by Alexandra Aguilar and Nadine Sanchez, while Alejandra Romo looks to provide a spark on offense.

EXPERIENCE MATTERS: After 6th-place finishes, Klein Collins Soccer is ready for Prime-Time
Goalkeeper Jasmine Kessler
Leading the way is District Goalkeeper of the Year Jasmine Kessler, who is committed to UTSA. “She’s amazing and is the voice of our team,” McCullough said. “She can do everything. She even scored for us last year.”
Gabi Trevino and Karli Orantes will control the midfield and Kristina Cromwell is a talent on the attack. Brooklyn Bailey was the team’s leading goal scorer but suffered an injury in the offseason. They hope to have her back by the playoffs. Ella Dang will patrol the backline on defense.

The boys’ team also finished sixth in the district, but a year of experience puts the Tigers in a position to pounce on a postseason spot. Returning are leading scorers Landon Guenther, Godfrey Ponce, and Aidan Spinks. The goalkeeper Jake Berrada returns with protection from Andres Palma and Diego Gomez. Berrada, Ponce, and Palma were just sophomores a year ago and Gomez was a freshman. Their game experience should show this season.
