Seven Lakes Soccer celebrating their 2022-23 State Championship
LET'S KICK IT: Houston loaded with boys soccer state hopefuls led by Seven Lakes
As the temperatures drop and Winter begins, soccer takes center stage as Houston is a hot-bed for some of the most talented teams in the state.
Per usual, Katy ISD remains the most competitive and talented district in the area, including the reigning Class 6A State Champions -- Seven Lakes. The Spartans are on a mission to return to Georgetown, however, rivals such as Cinco Ranch, Jordan and Paetow are sure to give them a run for their money.
Other 6A contenders will undoubtedly include The Woodlands, MacArthur, Summer Creek, etc.
In Class 5A, expect Fulshear and Houston Wisdom to make another deep run this season, after both teams concluded last year as Regional Semifinalists.
Additionally, watch out for up-and-comers such as Lake Creek, Fort Bend Kempner, and Kingwood Park to hit a hot-streak once the postseason comes around in March.
That being said, its time to dish out our preseason power rankings.
