The Woodlands girls soccer team will have to contend with Kingwood the next two years, with the UIL’s biannual realignment putting the two powerhouse programs into the same district again.

But for now, the Highlanders can enjoy another district championship season. After seeing their long streak of titles snapped during their last stint in the same field with Kingwood, they made it back-to-back district championships this season, going 11-1 in District 14-5A.
