Lady Mustangs Headed to State Soccer Tournament

Grapevine High School girls soccer played in the UIL Class 5A Region 1 championship tournament April 6-8 and advanced to the State Tournament for the sixth time in nine years.

GHS defeated two teams along the way – Abilene in the Regional Semifinals by a score of 3-1 to secure a spot in the Regional championship game against Wichita Falls Rider and won 4-0.

Head Coach Steve McBride said he is unbelievably proud of the student athletes.

“All season long we have had to overcome obstacles and to get to the final weekend is a testament to this group's toughness and resilience,” he said. “The girls were prepared and executed well. I thought from back to front we were solid in all three phases of play.”

Make sure to cheer on the Lady Mustangs at 9:30 a.m. Thursday, April 13, when they take on Comal Smith Valley at Birkelbach Field in Georgetown. The winner of the game will play in the State Final at 11 a.m. Saturday, April 15, facing the winner of Georgetown versus Frisco.
