TEAM OF THE YEAR: Goose Creek Memorial Patriots
Doug Brown (VYPE)
Under the direction of coach Roman Huizar, the Patriots set a new precedent for the program by reaching the third round of the postseason for the first time in the team's history.
They would then follow that up by advancing to the Regional Tournament, after defeating Santa Fe 1-0 in the Regional Quarters.
While their Cinderella season came to a close when they narrowly fell 2-1 against a formidable Georgetown opponent, the strides that this year's team made cannot be overstated.
Naturally, GCM cleaned up when it came to all-district recognition and the thrilling moments they produced this Winter will live long in the memory of their fan-base.

As mentioned earlier, the Spartans advanced all the way to the UIL State Tournament in 2024, which marked the first time the team has done so since 2012.
In her ninth year with the program, head coach Kaitlyn Eidson optimized her state-recognized players on the talented Seven Lakes roster in order to accomplish this feat.
Now that her squad has solidified itself as a state power, the bar is set high for Eidson and the Spartans moving forward.

PRIVATE SCHOOL GIRLS SOCCER
TEAM OF THE YEAR: Episcopal Knights
Bradley C. Collier (VYPE)
2024 was a historic year for Episcopal, as the Knights would claim their first SPC State Championship in program history.
Coach Rachel Stelter had a vast array of weapons in her arsenal -- such as All-SPC selections Blake Olivier (TCU-signee), Dayla Henderson, Abby Ross, Kyra Spearks, and Franny Johnson -- which would ultimately propel her squad to the tile, following their 2-1 victory over Hockaday in February.
While there are a few key figures graduating soon, the precedent they've established should invigorate the next generation on the pitch.

The Kingwood Park Panthers celebrate their eighth-straight undefeated district title
READY TO REIGN: Ranking Houston's top teams entering the UIL girls soccer playoffs
But, don't count out Tomball Memorial, Kingwood, or The Woodlands just yet, as they have surged in the latter-half of the regular season.
Kingwood Park is coming off their eighth-consecutive undefeated district championship, which marked the 300th victory for coach Jess White's program, as they look to represent Region II-5A in April. Additionally, teams such as Friendswood, Fulshear, Foster, and Barbers Hill could easily go on a deep run once the playoffs start next week.
Without further ado, here are the city's most premier clubs, as audiences prepare for the 2024 postseason.
