The Kennedale girls program is a true 4A power with back to back state titles and a #1 (TGCA) ranking all season long. Kennedale (18-1-1, 10-0) has outscored opponents by a combined score of 107-7 this year.
 

 
Three years ago, the Lady Kat program made the transition from playing up in Class 5A into the newly formed Class 4A soccer division. The Kats were an instant success with a combined three year record of 70-5-3 along with two state titles. In district play, the Kats have won three straight district titles with a 24-0 record.
 
It will not be easy to make it a 3-peat but the odds are still with the LadyKats. While they lost some star power from last year, there was plenty of depth to keep the winning tradition going. Watch for the play of Senior Alondra Almos (Sr) (17 goals & 28 asst), Sophomore Eryka McIntyre (26 goals & 12 asst) and Senior Cara Hunt (21 goals & 9 asst).
