Special to the Star-Telegram
The UIL Texas high school boys and girls soccer regional finals are set, and eight Fort Worth-area teams will compete for state semifinal berths.
Here is a preview of the action:
Keller girls
Record: 20-4-1, 13-2-1 District 4-6A
State tournament appearance: 2017
State championships: None
Playoff path in Class 6A Division I: Mansfield (6-0), Permian (1-1 *SO), Plano East (3-2)
The breakdown: Keller is searching for its first state tournament berth since 2017 and first state title in program history. The Indians will face Coppell (22-2-1) on their home turf at Keller High School at 7:30 Tuesday. The Coppell Cowboys cruised to a 5-1 regional semifinal victory over Mansfield Lake Ridge. Coppell and Keller met in non-district play, with Coppell taking a 3-0 victory.
Southlake Carroll girls
Record: 25-0-1, 16-0 District 4-6A
State Tournament appearances: 2001, 2002, 2008, 2013, 2019, 2022
State championships: 2008, 2019, 2022
Playoff path in Class 6A Division II: Mansfield Legacy (9-1), Frenship (3-0), Prosper (1-0)
The breakdown: Without a loss on its record, the Dragons will aim for their first state tournament berth since a state championship in 2022 and their seventh overall. Southlake Carroll will face Denton Guyer at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Birdville FA/AC. The Guyer Wildcats (20-3-1) are a formidable opponent that will carry an eight game win streak into the bout. It will be a tough task to break down a Dragon defense that has conceded just one garbage time goal to Legacy during its playoff run.
Aledo boys
Record: 21-3-2, 11-0-1 District 5-5A
State tournament appearances: 2005, 2018
State championships: None
Playoff path in Class 5A Division I: Denton (2-2 *SO), Joshua (6-0), Bel Air (2-1 *2OT)
The breakdown: Aledo is battle-tested with quality, hard-fought wins over tough opponents and is aiming to win its first boys soccer state title, which would add to a legacy of well-rounded athletic success at the school. Aledo boys soccer hasn’t suffered a loss since Jan. 13 against Centennial. The Bearcats will face El Paso Americas (21-2) at noon Tuesday at Andrews High School. Americas lost 6-0 in an early January non-district game to Bel Air, Aledo’s regional semifinal opponent. That outcome suggests Aledo will enter as a favorite, but a lot can change in three months.
Colleyville Heritage girls
Record: 16-3-2, 7-3-2 District 6-5A
State tournament appearances: 1999, 2001, 2011, 2024, 2025
State championships: 1999
Playoff path in Class 5A Division I: Aledo (2-1), Paschal (3-0), Amarillo (2-1)
The breakdown: This Colleyville Heritage squad knows how to win big games, as several top performers have been part of consecutive trips to the state finals the past two seasons. Despite a fourth place finish in a tough District 6-5A group, the Panthers are one step closer to their third state tournament berth in three consecutive seasons. Colleyville Heritage will face Burleson Centennial (18-1-4) at 6 p.m. Tuesday at Crowley ISD Stadium.
Burleson Centennial girls
Record: 18-1-4, 11-0-3 District 8-5A
State tournament appearances: None
State championships: None
Playoff path in Class 5A Division I: Arlington Heights (2-0), Birdville (4-3 *2OT), Tascosa (1-0)
The breakdown: After dominating district play, Centennial showcased the stretch wasn’t a fluke with strong wins over solid programs like Birdville and Tascosa. The Spartans will face Colleyville Heritage at 6 p.m. Tuesday at Crowley ISD Stadium. Centennial’s area round opponent, Birdville, holds two regular season wins over Heritage. That’s a good sign for the Spartans as they aim for program and district history. A girls’ soccer team from Burleson ISD has yet to make a state semifinal appearance.
Fort Worth O.D. Wyatt boys
Record: 17-7-1, 8-4 District 7-5A
State tournament appearances: None
State championships: None
Playoff path in Class 5A Division II: Mansfield Summit (7-3), Grapevine (2-1 *OT), Hanks (2-2 *SO)
The breakdown: Wyatt is aiming for its first state tournament berth — a fourth place finish in an extremely competitive district hasn’t held back the Chaparrals. They’ll face Burges (18-5) at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday at Astound Stadium in Midland. The team is inching toward making history for Fort Worth ISD, as the district has never had a boys soccer state champion. The first UIL soccer state titles came in 1983.
Grapevine girls
Record: 15-5-6, 7-1-4 District 6-5A
State tournament appearances: 2015, 2016, 2018, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2025
State championships: 2023
Playoff path in Class 5A Division II: Granbury (3-0), Joshua (1-0), Whichita Falls Memorial (1-0)
The breakdown: The ‘Stangs are searching for their first girls soccer state championship since 2023 and district rival Argyle (18-3-3) stands in the way. The two teams will clash at 6:30 Tuesday at Northwest ISD Stadium. So far, Grapevine’s shutout defense has paved the way, allowing zero goals in the postseason. In the regular season against Argyle, defense was a major key to Grapevine’s success. Although the Mustangs finished third in district, they seized a slight upper hand over Argyle with a 1-0 win and a 0-0 draw, conceding zero goals.
Decatur boys
Record: 17-1-2, 7-1 District 4-4A
State tournament appearances: None
State championships: None
Playoff path in Class 4A Division I: West Plains (7-2), Lake View (3-2), Life Waxahachie (2-0)
The breakdown: Decatur will face Lake Dallas (9-6-6) 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at Argyle High School with program history on the line. With a win, Decatur will make its first state semifinal appearance. The good sign for Decatur: These two teams faced off in the regular season with Decatur taking a 3-0 win.
