The RGV Red Crowns are headed to the South Texas Conference Championship for the first time in program history after defeating BTX SC 2 - 0 in Saturday's semifinal match.

The two teams battled through a tightly contested first half with both defenses standing firm and neither side able to find the back of the net, sending the match into a "Ni fu, Ni Fa" halftime 0 - 0 score.

The Red Crowns broke through just three minutes into the second half when Diego Rivera found the back of the net to give the home team a 1 - 0 lead.

John Alvarado added an insurance goal with 10 minutes remaining in regulation.  His powerful strike was partially deflected by the BTX goalkeeper, but still rolled into the back of the net.  John's goal brought the home fans to their feet.  It lifted the spirit of the home crowd.  The goal was Alvarado's fifth in his last three matches and secured the Red Crowns historic victory.

With the win, the Red Crowns advance to face top-seeded Capital City Sc in the South Texas Conference Championship on Sunday, July 12 at 7:00 p.m. at St. Michael's Catholic Prep Academy in Austin.

BTX SC closes an impressive League for Clubs campaign with a semifinal appearance, while the Red Crowns move one step closer to a conference title.  

The Río Grande Valley Soccer Coaches Organization (RGVSCO) proudly celebrated a historic milestone with the inaugural RGVSCO Hall of Honor Ceremony on Saturday, June 20, 2026 recognizing the outstanding coaches and a referee whose dedication, leadership, and passion have helped build the rich tradition of soccer throughout the Río Grande Valley.

The evening brought together former coaches, referees, families, and supporters to honor the pioneers who devoted countless years to developing student-athletes and growing the beautiful game in our communities.  Each inductee shared memorable moments from their soccer journey, reminding everyone that their greatest legacy extends far beyond wins and championships; it lives on through the lives they have inspired.  

The success of this first Hall of Honor ceremony was made possible through the generosity of our sponsors, the hard work of the RGVSCO Board of Directors, and the continued support of our soccer community.  This unforgettable celebration marked the beginning of a tradition that will preserve the history of Río Grande Valley soccer while inspiring future generations to continue building on this proud legacy.

Congratulations to everyone who helped make this first Hall Of Honor ceremony such a memorable and historic event.  

Coach Elías Moran's journey began in the humble neighborhood of La Fama II in Santa Catarina, Monterrey, Mexico, where dusty streets, empty lots, and caliche fields became his first stadiums.  With simple rock goalposts and an old soccer ball, he learned the game with passion, imagination, and heart.

Those early years shaped his character.  The difficult conditions taught him resilience, discipline, humility, and a competitive spirit that would later define his playing and coaching career.  His talent opened doors, including opportunities to compete in the Copa Internacional Monterrey in 1993 and later in the United States in 1995.

In 1997, at only 15 years old, Morán moved to the United States with hope, uncertainty, and the dream of a better future.  He attended Edinburg North High School, where soccer helped him overcome language and cultural barriers.  As a Cougar, he became part of the historic team that won the first District Championship in school history during the 2000 - 2001 school year.

After graduating, coach Morán continued his education at the Texas-Pan American University while working multiple jobs.  Through sacrifice and perseverance, he earned his bachelor's degree in Spanish with minors in Kinesiology and Studio Art.  

His coaching career began at La Joya Juárez-Lincoln as a Spanish teacher and assistant soccer coach.  Years later, he returned to his alma mater, Edinburg North, to lead the program that once gave him an opportunity.

Under his leadership, the Cougars have enjoyed some of the most successful years in school history, winning multiple district titles, playoff championships, and making historic runs including three Regional Semifinal appearances (Sweet 16), and two Regional Finals (Elite 8). 

Beyond the trophies, Coach Moran's greatest mission is to inspire young athletes to believe in themselves, embrace adversity, and never give up.  From the streets of Cempoala to the sidelines of Edinburg North, his story is a powerful reminder that faith, humility, hard work, and perseverance can turn dreams into reality.

Jamás rendirse es la misión. 

The 2026 RGVSCO Boys and Girls All-Star Games were a tremendous success.  Despite a one-hour delay caused by nearby thunderstorms and heavy rain, the girls' contest began with an outstanding display of talent, skill, and determination.  Every player showcased her abilities with passion and enthusiasm, keeping the crowd on its feet throughout the match.  Parents proudly cheered for their daughters as they competed in what was, for many, their final high school soccer game, a memorable "last dance" filled with emotion and excitement.  

The boys' game kicked off shortly after lunchtime and delivered another spectacular showcase of Río Grande Valley soccer talent.  Fans thoroughly enjoyed watching the East and West All-Star teams compete with intensity, pride, and heart.  The passing storm seemed like a theater curtain opening the main event, setting the stage for an unforgettable performance.  Every player gave maximum effort and left everything on the field, making the contest exciting and memorable for everyone in attendance.

Several college coaches were also in the stands, carefully evaluating the athletes and their potential for the next level.

To all of the boys and girls players, RGVSCO sincerely thanks you for participating in the All-Star Games and wishes each of you the very best in the future.  Life is filled with challenges and opportunities.  Never give up on your dreams.  Whether rich or poor, success comes through sacrifice, discipline, responsibility and hard work.  Invest your time wisely, stay focused, and avoid anything that interferes with your goals.  Believe in yourselves and continue striving to become the best version of who you can be.  As Río Grande Valley La Joya soccer and football Canadian professional kicker says, "Have a Chingón Mindset'.  YOU CAN DO IT !  No matter your background, remember that God believes in you.  Have faith in yourself.  Never give up.  Make your parents proud, and always remember that one of the greatest achievements in life is earning a college degree. 

The Río Grande Valley Soccer Coaches Organization also extends its heartfelt appreciation to coach Elías Morán for his tremendous help in creating the beautiful All-Star Game programs, to all RGVSCO board members, stadium personnel, and especially coach Juan Romero, athletic Director of Edcouch-Elsa Independent School District, for helping make this special event possible at the historic and famous Yellow Jackets Stadium.  

Best of luck to Coach Albert Vásquez (Brownsville Veterans) and coach Juan Hernández (La Joya Palmview) in their UIL Regional Championship Game.  

you are just one step away from the Final Four (State Tournament).  Go out there and represent the Río Grande Valley with pride, passion, and heart.  We're all behind you.  

To all those coaches whose teams fell in the Regional Semifinals tonight, keep your heads high.  Your teams fought with courage and left everything on the field.  Your hard work and dedication do not go unobserved; this is only the beginning of even greater things ahead.  Our soccer organization, RGVSCO, is very proud of you all. 

A big thank you to all the parents, friends, teachers, and school administrators for your incredible support throughout the season.  You are a vital part of this success, and your encouragement helps drive these teams to the top.  

Let our unwavering support be the push that carries both teams all the way to the top.

The McAllen Memorial Mustangs team cemented its legacy by capturing its fifth consecutive district title; an incredible run that reflects its program's consistency, discipline, and winning culture.  Year after year, the Lady Mustangs have set the standard in the district, proving that their success is no coincidence, but the result of hard work, talent, and determination.     

The Lady Mustangs have turned excellence into tradition cementing their place among the most dominant programs in the area.  Season after season, they have ruled the pitch with persistent determination, brilliant skill, and an unbreakable team spirit.  Their historic 5-peat is more than just a streak of victories; it is a powerful statement of a dynasty built on discipline, sacrifice, and a constant hunger to win.  Opponents come and go, but the throne of the district continues to belong to these outstanding Mustang Champions.  

Five years, five Championships, one unstoppable program.

From coach Mariana Watson ENHS Girls Soccer Coach:

The Journey to a District Championship every season begins with hope, but this one began with purpose.  

Five years ago, when I stepped into the role of head coach at Edinburg North High School, I envisioned building a program defined not just by wins, but by character, commitment, and growth.  Ten years into my career, I have learned that teams are built long before championship moments -  They are built in the quiet work, the early mornings, the setbacks, and the belief that something greater is possible.  This year's group of ten seniors embodied that belief.

I have watched them grow from timid freshmen - unsure, eager, learning - to confident leaders who know exactly what they are capable of.  Season after season, they dedicated themselves to improvement.  They stayed late, pushed one another, embraced challenges, and held themselves accountable to the standard they were helping to create. They wanted to make history, not just for themselves, but for our campus, our program, and every girl who would wear this jersey after them.

Last year was a turning point.  We had a record-breaking run, capturing the Bi-District Championship and advancing to the Area round - an accomplishment that proved our potential.

But the loss in Area stuck with us.  It stung, not in a way that defeated us, but in a way that fueled us.  My athletes caried that memory into every conditioning session, every practice, and every moment of preparation leading into this season.  At the very beginning, we agreed on our expectations.  

This year, we would capture the district title and we would advance in the playoffs.

From the first whistle of preseason, something felt different.  We started strong, not just technically, but emotionally.  The girls trusted one another.  They communicated.  They held each other to a championship standard, and in doing so, strengthened their bond as a team.

Then came the Border Olympics Tournament - an event etched into the history of ENHS.  The last time Edinburg North had claimed that title, I was the one wearing the jersey.  This time, I watched with pride as our girls fought, adapted, and ultimately lifted that trophy.  In that moment, I saw the past and present of the program come full circle.  And I knew: this team was special.  District play tested us, sharpened us, and united us.  Adversity didn't divide us - it pulled us closer.  Our only loss during district play vs Weslaco H.S. with 10 players on the field was our eye opener, we knew that game wasn't the game we play.  This is where we understood as a team that sacrifice and discipline needed to be fortified from that moment on every athlete, whether a senior or an underclassman, understood her role in our vision.  Every girl was willing to sacrifice for the big picture.  They played not for themselves, but for each other, and when we met Weslaco HS again, in the second round, we took care of business.

And together, we finished the season on top.  They brought home the district championship = something earned not in a single match, but in four years of resilience, loyalty, and heart.  My seniors, the backbone of our program, leave behind a legacy built on discipline, leadership and belief.  They achieved what they once only dreamed of as freshmen, and they did it by rising as a united team.  They have also engraved these proud tenants in the culture and our underclassmen are doing an amazing job continuing the culture we have at ENHS.

This season was more than a journey.  It was a statement.  A reminder that greatness isn't accidental - it's intentional, determined, and deeply shared.  

As their coach, I couldn't be prouder.  These ten seniors will graduate having changed the trajectory of ENHS soccer forever.  And as they move on, they leave behind a message to every future Cougar:  work hard, trust the process, believe in your team, and make history.

Al concluir la jornada 17, los Vaqueros de la escuela Porter continúan cabalgando con autoridad en la cima del Distrito 32-5A de la liga interescolar del Estado de Texas acumulando 47 puntos tras imponerse 3 - 1 en casa ajena a los Gatos Monteses de Weslaco East.  

El equipo local tomó una decisión estratégica desde el silbatazo inicial; arrancar el encuentro con el viento a su favor.  La intención era clara, aprovechar el aire para adelantarse en el marcador y evitar cualquier tipo de ventaja para el conjunto visitante, cuyo poder ofensivo era bien conocido.    

Convencidos de que la mejor defensa era el ataque, los de casa apostaron por presionar desde los primeros minutos.  Los jugadores de Weslaco East buscaban constantemente a su delantero estrella, Juan Puentes, quien se convirtió en una permanente  pesadilla para la zaga rival.  Las llegadas al último tercio de campo eran frecuentes, rápidas y peligrosas, generando múltiples ocasiones de gol.  El partido pudo haberse definido desde la primera mitad, pero la falta de contundencia evitó que el marcador se abriera.  

El primer tiempo fue una auténtica batalla de desgaste físico.  Ambos equipos lucharon con intensidad, enfrentando no sólo al rival sino también al fuerte viento.  Sin embargo, el invitado principal del juego, el gol, se negó a aparecer.  

La línea de cinco defensores implementada por el equipo local resultó fundamental para neutralizar los embates del equipo de la escuela Porter y mantener su portería en cero al finalizar la primera etapa del partido.  Aun así, el peligro estuvo presente, pues "Los Blues", llamados así por el color de su uniforme, estrellaron tres disparos en los postes defendido por el arquero local.  

Para la parte complementaria, el equipo de casa cambió radicalmente su planteamiento.  Decidió replegarse, cerrar espacios y apostar por el contragolpe, una estrategia que evocaba la filosofía de Muhammad Alí; resistir, cansar al oponente y buscar el golpe definitivo en el momento oportuno.  Sin embargo, el plan no surtió efecto.  Frente a ellos estaba el rey de las estadísticas: el mejor ataque, la mejor defensa y el equipo más goleador del campeonato.  Cederles el control del terreno a los Vaqueros fue practicamente cavar su propia tumba.  En el pecado llevaron la penitencia.

Con más espacios para maniobrar, los Blues comenzó a adueñarse de las acciones y manejar el ritmo del partido con paciencia.  Sin desesperarse, los chicos de la Internacional y Southmost, tejían jugadas y buscaban la fórmula para romper el cerrojo defensivo.  Intentaban penetrar al área en busca de una falta e intentaban disparos de media distancia.  

Weslaco East estaba completamente encerrado, apostando a resistir y llevar el encuentro a la tanda de penalties.  Algunos de sus jugadores acusaban fatiga.

El orden defensivo se desplomó al tercer minuto del complemento cuando los comandados por Espitia Jardine aprovecharon una falta al borde del área.  En jugada prefabricada y sorpresiva, Kevin Segura abrió finalmente el marcador.  La incertidumbre y la desesperación comenzaron a apoderarse de los Gatos Monteses.

El golpe definitivo no tardó en llegar.  Cinco minutos después Alexander Castillo sacó un potente disparo desde fuera del área que se incrustó en el fondo de la red para firmar un auténtico golazo.  El tercer tanto fue prácticamente una reproducción del segundo.  Nuevamente Castillo apareció en el escenario con un riflazo desde fuera del área para sentenciar el encuentro.

Con el partido prácticamente asegurado, el técnico de los Vaqueros movió sus piezas y realizó varias sustituciones para dar descanso a su once titular y brindar minutos a los suplente.  

A Weslaco East no le quedó más remedio que volver a la propuesta ofensiva del primer tiempo.  Esa insistencia finalmente rindió frutos en los minutos finales cuando lograron marcar el gol de la honra en las postrimerías del encuentro por conducto de Juan Puentes.

Cuando el árbitro señalo la finalización del encuentro, los jugadores de la escuela Porter corrieron hacia el centro del campo abrazándose con sus compañeros, gritando y celebrando el tan ansiado campeonato obtenido.  

El trofeo se había vestido de azul y blanco, los colores de una institución que ahora es el rey del distrito.  

Y si el presente es brillante, el futuro parece aún más deslumbrante para los chicos de la Southmost e International Boulevard.  El sueño ahora apunta hacia horizontes mayores; el Campeonato del Estado de Texas.

Motivos para creer sobran.  Porter presume la defensa más ferrea del torneo y un ataque devastador.  En toda la campaña sólo han permitido tres anotaciones, mientras que su ataque ha hecho temblar las redes contrarias 48 veces.  

Con números así, los Vaqueros no sólo ganan partidos; imponen una era. Ojalá y que sea igual que la del Tuca con los Tigres.    

Los Cargadores de la escuela preparatoria Brownsville Veterans Memorial y Los Halcones de Los Fresnos nos regalaron una noche extraordinaria e inolvidable este 6 de marzo en el Sams Stadium, el imponente Coloso de la West Jefferson.  Bajo la expectación de una afición entregada, ambos equipos protagonizaron una auténtica batalla futbolística que quedará grabada en la memoria de todos los concurrentes.

Desde el silbatazo inicial, el partido se jugó con el corazón y con el alma.  Nadie se guardó nada.  Los jugadores corrían sin descanso; atacaban, defendían, recuperaban y salían jugando.  Era un duelo de toma y daca, de ida y vuelta, de intensidad pura, de orgullo, de coraje y de carácter.  

Las defensas se levantaban como murallas.  Los centrales dominabal el área con autoridad, ordenaban, organizaban y exigían mucha concentración y seguridad.  Ganaban casi todos los balones divididos.  Salían jugando por abajo, cortita y al pie, casi no reventaban.  En el medio campo se libraba otra guerra por la recuperación, distribución creatividad y sacrificio.  Cada metro del terreno de juego se disputaba a muerte.  Los delanteros pedían el balón con insistencia, se proyectaban hacia el arco contrario y buscaban la opotunidad de marcar. 

El equipo local, dirigido por el hoy conocido como Aldo Alberto Vasquez Carbajal, en alusión al  "Cinco Copas" Antonio "La Tota" Carbajal, buscaba imponer condiciones frente a su gente.  El campeonato tenía que quedarse en casa, pero enfrente estaba un rival incómodo, valiente e inteligente dirigido por el "Coach" de mil batallas, Michael Miller cuyo equipo no se intimidaba ante nada.

El marcador se abrió al minuto 24.  Eduardo Mares encontró el momento exacto para darle la ventaja a Los Fresnos 1 - 0.  La tribuna visitante explotó de alegría.  La afición local gritaba, "no fue gol, no fue gol", pero alguien en la tribuna les recordó lo que alguna vez comentó el arquero mexicano Jorge Campos,  si el árbitro lo marcó, es gol", y todos decían " no pos sí". 

El partido se tensó aún más.  Cada jugada se vivía con el corazón en la garganta.  El espectáculo recordaba esas grandes batallas deportivas donde nadie pensaba en regalar nada y mucho menos perder.

Pero apenas comenzaba el segundo tiempo cuando el estadio volvió a respirar esperanza.  El joven Rolando Céspedes, estudiante de nuevo ingreso, cobró con sangre fría y mucha seguridad un penal desde los once pasos emparejando los cartones a uno.  El estadio rugió con fuerza.

El tiempo corría y el desgaste se hacía evidente.  Sin embargo, ninguno de los dos equipos cedía.  Las defensas resistían heroicamente y el empate se mantuvo hasta el final del tiempo reglamentario.

Al iniciar los tiempos extras, los Cargadores salieron más concentrados, mas organizados, más agrupados, más decididos.  Los Halcones tampoco se quedaban atrás.   Apenas transcurrían 2 minutos con 11 segundos cuando consiguieron un tiro de esquina que cambiaría la historia de la noche.  La barra local empezó a cantar al unísono: "Queremos un gol, un gol, un gol".  

Emmanuel Ramírez fue el encargado de ejecutar el "Corner".   El balón fue lanzado al corazón del área encontrando al mismísimo Céspedes quien se elevó entre los defensores visitantes para conectar el esférico con un cabezazo poderoso y certero enviándolo al fondo de las redes.  El estadio explotó de alegría y mucha felicidad.  Ese gol se convirtió en el golpe definitivo.  Los Halcones de Los Fresnos lucharon hasta el último segundo, pero el tiempo ya no les dio "pa' más".

Cuando sonó el silbatazo final, los jugadores de Brownsville Veterans levantaron los brazos al cielo y celebraron con su afición la conquista de la "Quinta Orejona", coronando una noche que quedará escrita con letras doradas en la historia del futbol local.
