The Houston Academy girls and boys soccer teams clinched the Class 1A-3A, Region 2 titles by winning at rival Providence Christian on Friday night.
The Lady Raiders had to rally in the second half against a scrappy Providence bunch to win 6-4, while the HA boys broke open the game in the second half with three goals – two coming within 27 seconds of each other – in winning 4-0.
But the battle-tested Raiders wouldn’t be denied. HA, ranked No. 1 in the state, improved to 17-1-4 overall, 6-0 in the region. Houston Academy boys 4, Providence Christian 0: Andrew Gil scored two goals early in the second half to give the Raiders the momentum in the hard-fought game. Less than a minute later, Gil again took a pass ahead of the pack and scored in the top right corner of the net to push the lead to 3-0 with 32:03 left.
“I’m just immensely proud of the boys,” Fripp said. “We set a goal that we’re going to make the playoffs and we’ve done that.”
