KICK OFF: 6A Boys Soccer repping H-Town in Rd. 1 of UIL Playoffs
Throughout the Winter season, several teams have shined on the pitch and now is the time for them to prove they have what it takes to go the distance and reach the State Tournament in Georgetown, TX within the next month.
Fortunately for Houston, nearly 50 Boys 6A teams show tremendous potential to reach that point.
Here are the clubs that will be representing H-Town between this Thursday and Saturday, in the opening round (Bi-District) of the UIL Playoffs.

Magnolia West
College Station, Lufkin look to hold off Magnolia schools for District 8-5A-DI

District 8-5A-DI could see an avalanche of playoff teams for the 2019 season as College Station and Lufkin are locks for the top two spots. Magnolia, Magnolia West, Tomball and Waller will be fighting for the two remaining spots as we will see a flashback to 2018, when three teams battled it out for the last two spots on the last weekend.
College Station Cougars
College Station had a somewhat disappointing 2018 campaign as they lost a key district game to Magnolia West that slid them down to the third seed. That meant they would end up playing eventual state champion Highland Park in the area round. The Cougars would put up a good fight, but the 28-20 second-round loss would leave a bad taste for a team that was the 2017 defending state champions. Coach Steve Huff returns five starters each on offense and defense. The leaders will be led by the versatile QB/WR Austin Sosa (5-foot-11, 175-pounds) and LB Michael Medlin (5-foot-11, 195-pounds). The Cougars got some great work in, winning the state 7-on-7 tournament. Another advantage for the Cougars is that they will host every important district game in 2019. Lufkin (10/11), Magnolia (10/18), Tomball (11/1) and Mag West (11/8) all come to College Station in 2019.
…
Lufkin Panthers
Lufkin is the Lion King coming into this season as coach Todd Quick has 11 starters returning off their 10-2 team from 2018. The Panthers will be led by 4-star heat-seeking missile Jerrin Thompson (6-foot-1,170-pounds), who will roam the passing lanes like a panther stalking a deer. Look for Lufkin to be on a mission after a disappointing area-round loss last year to Lone Star, 49-21. Their district game of the year will be October 21 when they travel to College Station for the district crown.
…
Magnolia West Mustangs
Magnolia West goes into "rebuild" mode for 2019. Their charismatic coach J.D. Burna moves into an administrative role as the district athletic director. That moves last year's offensive coordinator Blake Joseph into the head coaching role. The Mustangs will miss star QB John Matocha as he moves on to sling the rock at the Colorado School of Mines. Former linebacker Tristan Brady will now call the plays on offense and will target top WR Payton Finch (1,244 yards, 16 TDs receiving). The defense returns five starters, which includes all-district LB Gage Wade (108 tackles). The Mustangs have a strong junior class, so the light in the tunnel could be a train coming through the district. The month of November will be huge for Mag West as they play at Magnolia (11/1) and College Station (11/9) to likely determine their playoff seed.

Magnolia Bulldogs
By Bradley Collier
The Magnolia Bulldogs were probably the best team NOT to make the playoffs last year. Their fifth-place finish included one-point losses to Magnolia West (28-27), Tomball (50-49) and a three-point loss to College Station, 41-38. The Temple connection to Magnolia ISD rings further true in 2019 as former Temple DC Craig Martin takes over for Sterling Doty, who moves on to his alma mater at Stephenville. If games are won in the trenches then Magnolia looks solid for 2019 as they have three bona fide FBS OL prospects in Derek Bowman (6-foot-4, 260-pounds), Kade Bond (6-foot-3, 295-pounds) and junior Matthew Wykoff (6-foot-6, 260-pounds). Bowman verbally committed to the University of Houston in the offseason. In any other 5A district, Magnolia would be a lock-solid district favorite, however, in 8-5A-DI they will most likely be fighting for the last playoff spot with Tomball.

Willis Wildkats
Second-year coach Michael Wall has a Willis team that is two years into his offense that brought multiple titles to Lake Travis. Look for Willis QB Steele Bardwell (6-foot-0, 185-pounds) to cook with hot oil with WRs Joshua King (5-foot-7, 175-pounds) and Jacoby McCoy (6-foot-3, 200-pounds) creating in space. The defense will need to bow its neck and get some spots for the 'Cats to be in the postseason conversation.
…
Caney Creek Panthers
Caney Creek is a young team with some fight. Head coach Steve Svendsen will have his hands full in this district, but look for the Panthers to fight with two-way player Isaiah Mendoza (WR/DB, 5-foot-10, 160-pounds) and RB Spencer Brandon (5-foot-10, 175-pounds).
