Aldine's Gewlaymi Gonzalez
HUSTLIN': Gonzalez is a bona fide star at Aldine
With the graduation of superstar Fernanda Alvarado, the Aldine Mustangs are now Gewlaymi Gonzalez's team to lead.
The returning first-team, all-district selection averaged nearly a goal per game and an assist per match in 2024. Her game’s lineage leads back to her family.
“My dad trained and coached me and my siblings for as long as I can remember,” she said. “I’ve loved this sport since I was five-years-old and growing up playing soccer has helped me in all aspects of my life.

“Soccer trains you to battle through the ups and downs of life outside the pitch. The sport keeps me motivated, whether it’s in the classroom or trying to help my teammates get better. I feel like I’m a good teammate.”
Aldine finished second in district a year ago, but Gonzalez wants more.
“I want to get past the first round of the playoffs,” she said. “I’m going to do whatever I can to accomplish that goal, whether it’s scoring goals or getting my teammates involved.”

The junior has expectations of playing at the college level and possibly professionally.
“I would love to play for my favorite team... the San Diego Wave,” she said. “My favorite player has to be Alex Morgan. I’ve followed her my entire life.”
The Chick-fil-A fanatic loves nuggets, fries and a Sunjoy before and after games and plugs into “Hustlin” by Rick Ross to get amped for a match.
“I’m just here to rep my school,” she said. “We are Aldine... we are strong and never give up.”
