The Matchup
Forney enters the match on a massive 19-game winning streak, having dismantled playoff opponents like Rowlett and Mesquite by 8-0 scorelines. Their most recent test, a gritty 1-0 victory over Southlake Carroll on April 4th, proved they have the defensive dominance to win the close ones when the stakes are highest.
They face a Humble Kingwood squad that literally does not know how to lose this season. The Mustangs carry an unbeaten 26-0-2 record and a deep history, making their 10th state tournament appearance. While Kingwood has the legacy, Forney has the momentum of a program that has reached the summit in only its second-ever appearance (2025, 2026).
Forney Players To Watch-
The Jackrabbits' success under Coach Williamson is built on a fast and physical style that starts in the midfield and ends with clinical finishing.
Addison Smith (Sr., MF): A senior leader in the middle of the pitch who provides the vision to jumpstart the attack.
Addison Staats (So., FORW/MF): A dynamic sophomore threat who can play multiple roles to keep defenses guessing.
Ava Young (Jr., FORW): A clinical forward who has been a nightmare for opposing keepers all year.
Cinnamon Hurst (Jr., GK): Fresh off a shutout in the semifinals, Hurst is the final line of defense for a unit that has allowed very little this postseason.
The Jackrabbit defense—led by Ryleigh Wilson (Jr.), Zeniyah Russell (Sr.), Brooklynn Sosa (So.), and Olivia Foresman (Jr.)—will be the key to stopping Kingwood’s top threats, including Talia Olthoff (Jr.) and Liana Ellis (Fr.).
