STAFF & CONTRIBUTORS

Practice, class, game. Practice, class, game—repeat. The life of the successful student athlete is busy. Success comes from a focused, repetitive process which usually starts before the sun rises and ends long after most have called it a night.

Publisher Mike Tesoriero Mike@SouthlakeStyle.com

With all the time they spend together, it’s easy to see how athletes can form strong bonds with their teammates and coaches. For the past decade we’ve seen it firsthand, capturing a multitude of teammates in Southlake Style and Dragon Pride magazines.

Editor Audrey Sellers Audrey@SouthlakeStyle.com Creative Director Bruce Sons Bruce@SouthlakeStyle.com

Advertising Director Nicole Tesoriero Nicole@SouthlakeStyle.com

This spring, we took a slightly different angle. In addition to team profiles, we wanted to showcase key seniors across a wide range of sports. After contacting multiple coaches and contending with the many varying schedules of not one team, but six, we gathered three boys and three girls for our Super Seniors opening spread. During the shoot, we noticed something a little unexpected—three athletes wore sneakers, two wore cleats and one (swimmer Austin Whalen) even showed up in his flip-flops!

Outside of the flipping and flopping of Austin’s shoes, the beginning of the shoot was quieter than usual. Sure, all the kids were polite to each other, but we missed the inside jokes and casual locker room banter of past shoots where teammates cut loose and had a little fun.

We realized quickly, these kids don’t just run in different shoes, they run in different circles all together.

Advertising Coordinator Dia Moraru Dia@SouthlakeStyle.com

Shoes aside, our desire to introduce you to these special sporting Dragons actually gave us the opportunity to re-introduce these Dragons to each other. What started as a little awkward finished nothing of the sort. Throughout the shoot, they cracked plenty of smiles and before long were pretty comfortable as a group in front of the camera.

Advertising Art Director Digger Hayes Digger@SouthlakeStyle.com

Carroll’s student athletes definitely come in all shapes, sizes (and wear many different shoes), but at the end of the day, and at the end of our shoot, it was clear to see they were all teammates under the flag of Dragon Pride.

ALL-STAR ORTHOPAEDICS Preventing Injuries is Key to Prolonging an Active Lifestyle

A

ll-Star Orthopaedics is committed to helping families keep their active lifestyles by treating injuries, replacing joints and relieving nagging aches and pains through advanced, minimally invasive techniques and technology. From their state-of-theart facilities in Southlake and other DFW locations, All-Star Orthopaedics’ experienced, board-certified surgeons and skilled staff utilize a broad range of adult and adolescent orthopaedic services that reduce recovery time and levels of discomfort while keeping entire families performing at their best.

One of All-Star Orthopaedics’ main goals is to educate patients on injury prevention, especially when it comes to sports injuries caused by poor training practices, improper use of equipment and exercising without a proper warm-up. According to the surgeons of All-Star Orthopaedics, ACL tears make up a large majority of these injuries, with an estimated 250,000 occurring per year — 70 percent of which result from sudden deceleration, such as landing from a jump or a cut-and-pivot motion. Dr. W. Grear Hurt, one of All-Star Orthopaedics’ board-certified surgeons, says there are several effective strategies active people can use to prevent ACL tears, including balance and core stability training, plyometrics and neuromuscular training. All of the specialists at AllStar Orthopaedics believe preventing ACL injuries should be a major component of every athlete’s training routine, so they make it a priority to teach patients about successful treatments and techniques.

Patient Testimonials “At age 43, I went to Dr. Greenberg for a second opinion on a knee that swelled after ultimate frisbee and had a torn PCL from an injury at age 27. The first doctor had taken an MRI and diagnosed a torn meniscus and a bad ACL. He said he thought the knee would need to be “totally redone.” Dr. Greenberg disagreed: He said the meniscus was worn and torn, but the ACL was solid. He was also clear about not knowing for sure what would be needed until he got inside the knee. I had him operate, and he trimmed the meniscus and did microfractures because the cartilage was thin. It has turned out really well — I’m playing regularly again, and the knee just keeps getting better, I guess because the microfractures take a while to stabilize. For the first two or three years, it still swelled afterwards, but less and less. Now it does not swell at all.” – C.C. “I would definitely recommend Dr. Honig. He was very professional and did such a good job helping me with my knee. From the minute I got there, he seemed so interested in what I had to say about my symptoms and issues concerning my knee. After X-rays and an MRI, we approached where we are now with a lot of reasoning and time to think. Overall, he is a great doctor, and I would definitely recommend him.” – R.S. Areas of Specialty All-Star Orthopaedics works with a variety of specialists devoted to treating specific conditions. Their physician staff includes general orthopaedic surgeons, sports medicine experts, a hand surgeon, a foot and ankle surgeon, a spine and neck surgeon as well as joint replacement specialists. All of the doctors at All-Star Orthopaedics typically recommended surgery as a last resort. When surgery is necessary, they are committed to treating you with the most up-to-date, minimally invasive techniques, which not only reduce recovery time and levels of discomfort but also the size of a patient’s scar when compared to traditional methods of surgery.

Foot and Ankle Surgery: Whether mild or severe, conditions of the foot and ankle can have dramatic effects on your livelihood and often become worse over time. All-Star Orthopaedics can help you relieve the pain and rehabilitate the function of your feet and ankles with a range of treatment options performed by board-certified and fellowship-trained physicians.

Hand Surgery: General aches and pains, arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, injury, tennis elbow and other conditions affecting the hands can be treated by a board-certified, fellowship-trained specialist at All-Star Orthopaedics.

Spinal Surgery: All-Star Orthopaedics has a specialized center specifically devoted to treatment of conditions affecting the back, neck and spine. Whether you suffer from mild lower back pain or more serious spinal afflictions, our board-certified, fellowship-trained spinal surgeon can dramatically improve your way of living.

Joint Replacement: The breakdown and/or loss of joint cartilage is not only painful, but it can also be extremely debilitative and dramatically reduce your ability to engage in even the simplest activities. All-Star Orthopaedics can help you with effective joint replacement procedures that can significantly improve function in a variety of body areas.

therapy colleagues in order to reduce ACL tear risks and prolong active lifestyles.

All-Star Orthopaedics offers custom-tailored treatment for every patient, which they refer to as the All-Star Advantage. The practice puts patients first by providing professional care from diagnosis to surgery and rehabilitation that is convenient and close to home, and doctors always emphasize surgery as a last resort. Other nonoperative treatment options (i.e. physical therapy and medicine) are explored before surgery is suggested. On-site X-rays ensure patients and staff get the timely results they need without a second visit, while on-site rehabilitation allows All-Star Orthopaedics’ trained therapists to offer physical therapy before or in place of surgery.

If surgery is needed, the close distance between All-Star’s locations and local surgery centers simplifies the process for patients and staff, creating a seamless transition for all involved.

Both Southlake Carroll baseball and softball are poised to make it to the playoffs once again this season.

B

Baseball Head Coach Larry Hughes and softball Head Coach Tim Stuewe have done terrific jobs of establishing powerful programs that have garnered statewide attention for their recent success.

Stuewe and his softball team won an outright district title last season and advanced to the second round of the playoffs. While this season started off on a rocky ride, the Dragons have weathered the storms of April and find themselves peaking at the right time.

Southlake’s favorite softball team is currently 16-10 overall and sits in second place behind Hurst L.D. Bell in the District 7-6A standing with four games remaining. The Dragons are two games ahead of third place Richland and three games ahead of fourth place Colleyville Heritage.

“The season overall has been pretty successful,” Stuewe says.

“We’ve played really well at times. There have also been times where we haven’t played that well. Lately, we’ve been doing what we need to do to win ball games. And that’s what you need to do this time of year.”

Southlake Carroll had a bit of a bumpy ride to open the season.

The Dragons lost three of their first four games of the year. Their lone win was a 6-1 handling of Conroe to open up the Bryan/College Station Tournament.

The Dragons would go on to split their next four games in the tournament as they picked up wins over Timber Creek and Huntsville but logged losses to Rusk and Pearland.

Southlake Carroll found some momentum as it destroyed Prosper 17-0 and dominated Lake Dallas 12-2 to open up the Southlake tournament. The Dragons picked up another win in the tourney over Creekview but were eliminated after a 2-1 loss to Hallsville.

The non-district slate came to a close with the Prosper tournament, which saw the Dragons pick up wins over Dallas Sunset and Mount Vernon before dropping two in a row to John Paul II and Prosper.

“We tried to schedule some tough non-district teams in order to get ready for district and playoffs,” Stuewe says. “We wanted to face tougher pitching because we know sooner or later that’s going

to come up. We wanted to be prepared. We’re always trying to make ourselves.”

Southlake Carroll’s losing streak extended into district play as it fell to Coppell and Richland by a combined two runs. But then things just started to fall into place for the Dragons.

After a 15-1 trouncing of Euless Trinity, Southlake Carroll went on to knock off Colleyville Heritage, Haltom and LD Bell and even got revenge victories over both Coppell and Richland.

“All along, we’ve been telling the team that we control our own destiny,” Stuewe says. “Any team that can control what they have to do is in a pretty good place. The softball gods just weren’t with us. That’s how this game works at times.

But we’re just taking it one game at a time and making sure we’re ready for our next game.”

So what changed for the Dragons as they caught fire and began a six-game winning streak?

“I think we are playing more solid defense,” Stuewe says.

“We are not making mistakes there. We are hitting the ball better. We’re putting the ball in play and forcing the other team to make plays. We’re just giving ourselves a chance.”

Stuewe also gave credit to his seniors for providing leadership when Southlake Carroll needed it the most.

Courtney Manning, McKenzie Schneider, Emilia Egel and Christina Hill have all played important roles as the Dragons have outscored their opponents by a five-run average during their streak.

The play of sophomores Abigail Stuart, who leads the team with half a dozen homeruns and Avery Zeigler as well as freshmen Lauren Long, Gaby Garcia and Madison Cashon have also bolstered the Dragons.

“It’s all about peaking at the right time. I’ve seen our playing level pick up as we get closer to playoffs,” Stuewe says. “A lot of that does have to do with peaking at the right time. The other thing is matchups.

“Once you get in the playoffs, every game is tough. If we get hot at the right time, we can make a deep run. If we stay focused, we can go a long way.”

On the baseball diamond, Larry Hughes’ team sits at 166-1 overall but is peaking at the right time just like its softball counterpart. The Dragons have won four district games in a row and currently are in third place behind Coppell and Colleyville Heritage.

The Dragons are averaging close to six runs per game and are giving up an average of less than two runs per DRAGON PRIDE

game. Simply put, Southlake Carroll has played excellent defense throughout the season and has exceled behind the arm of ace pitcher Matthew Canterino, who recently notched 14 strikeouts in a victory over Richland.

With four games left in the season, the Dragons need to improve offensively. It is imperative for guys like Zach Farrar, who is committed to Oklahoma for both football and baseball, Hudson Sanchez and Eric Cole to continue to step up with their bats.

“As a senior, I think it’s important for me to lead,” Farrar says. “You have to lead vocally but also by example. I’ve been getting on base a lot, but I feel like I really need to hit some homeruns. That will in turn help the team.”

Last year saw the Dragons make it three rounds deep in the playoffs, but Farrar says this team has the potential to make an even deeper run.

“We’re coming together at the right time,” he says. “We just have to keep it. We’ve bonded together as a team. It’s all about going to practice and working hard and making sure we’re all on the same page.”

Both baseball and softball are in line to advance to the playoffs and possibly make some noise. The two squads are playing their best ball of the year and have yet to reach their full potential.

When they do, they will be a scary sight for opponents in the postseason.

From football to baseball and everything in between, the Dragons are known nationwide for having the country’s premier high schools sports teams on a yearly basis.

And 2015-2016 was no different.

Southlake Carroll sent a number of athletes to the state championships in swimming and diving, cross-country and wrestling in the winter.

Perhaps the most successful program of the trio was swimming and diving, which saw a number of athletes proudly display gold medals around their necks. But that’s far from a surprise. In fact, winning state is an expectation for the swimming and diving team.

Since 2010, Head Coach Kevin Murphy has guided his teams to six straight state championship appearances. Murphy originally arrived at Southlake Carroll from Oklahoma and has built a dynasty.

“With what I learned in the desert, I felt

like I could make the middle and bottom of the program a lot better. That’s what we initially worked on when we got there. Once the snowball got rolling, it was hard to stop.”

Murphy had arguably his best team yet on the boys side as the Dragons took home another state title.

Southlake Carroll posted a score of 295 points—more than 100 points ahead of second-place finisher Austin Westlake (194). The record-smashing performance opened eyes across the nation.

“If you’ve ever played the game where you put your hand on a baseball bat then the other person puts it higher then you put it higher, that’s how our boys are,” Murphy says. “They were competing at practice all the time, and they were hungry. They had a special season.

“They scored more points than any team in the history of the state team. We’ve had some really good teams, but this is the highest-scoring and deepest team we’ve ever had.”

Alex Zettle, the 6A Boys Swimmer of the Meet, led the Dragons and won a pair of individual gold medals in the 200-yard freestyle and 500-yard freestyle. Zettle posted a time of 1:37.17 in the 200, while he finished the 500 in 4:22.64.

His teammate Jack LeVant won the shortest race of the event, finishing the 50-yard freestyle in 20.23 seconds. The duo together

with Austin Whalen and Colter Carman won the 400 free relay with a time of 2:59.69. In doing so they became only the third public school team in the nation’s history to have ever broken the 3:00.0 barrier.

Meanwhile, 6A Diver of the Meet Nate Hernandez defended his title, adding his special talents to the Dragons’ championship effort.

Southlake SWIMMING TAKES HOME

ANOTHER STATE TITLE! While the girls didn’t bring home the hardware, they still had an excellent season in their own right, finishing the regular season undefeated and claiming seventh place at the state meet with a score of 106.

“The girls have been down for a little bit, but I feel like we are on the upswing,” Murphy says. “They just need to become more competitive. All the girls that swam at state received All-American consideration. They were a good group of swimmers.”

Southlake Carroll’s boys team returns a number of key swimmers, while the girls team has the potential to place even higher next season. It’s clear more state achievements are within reach.

So how does Murphy keep his team motivated?

“We individualize goals a lot,” he says. “That’s based on their high school practices and their club practices.

Our objective is for everyone to improve. And if everyone improves, something good is going to happen. The expectations keep getting higher. Where it stops, I don’t know.”

FLEET FEET Swimming and diving might have been the pinnacle of Southlake Carroll winter sports, but cross-country had a spectacular season as it garnered national attention after yet another dominant season.

The boys took home both the district and regional championships as they earned a berth in the state championship meet. The girls also captured a district title and made their way to state.

Unfortunately for the Dragons, awful weather ruined the course and played a major factor as both teams finished in second place.

“We were a little disappointed at the state meet,” says Head Coach Justin Leonard. “Our goal is to always win a state championship. It was just one of those things where we got beat by a better team, so we have to regroup and get better.”

Getting to nationals has given us a lot of momentum heading

into next season Reed Brown placed fourth at state with a time of 16:28.26. No girl finished in the Top 10 individually for Southlake Carroll but as a unit, they posted a scored of 87, finishing only behind Flower Mound Marcus.

While both teams experienced heartbreak at state, they did have a fun ending to the season as they competed in the Nike Cross Nationals in Portland, Oregon.

“That was a great way to end the season,” Leonard says. “It’s the best of the best out there. It was a great experience. There is no better way to wrap up your high school season than with a trip to Portland, Oregon, to compete against some of the best.”

The girls team finished 15th at nationals with a score of 340, while the boys finished 16th with a score of 344.

Individually, Brown stood out from the crowd.

On top of his great performance at state, Brown was named the Gatorade Runner of the Year after placing first in the Nike Cross regionals and 14th at nationals.

Fellow junior Charlie Gardner also had a specular season as he finished fourth at the Nike Cross regionals. On the girls’ side, sophomore Catherine Tracht showed some flashes of potential for the future as she placed 24th at state.

All three runners will be back next season and give the Dragons a legitimate opportunity to get back on top.

“Getting to nationals has given us a lot of momentum heading into next season,” Leonard says.

“Reed and Charlie are huge. They both work extremely hard. They are two of the fastest we’ve had come through the program. They are going to be leading the charge.

“I’m excited about our girls team, too. We are going to revamp the team and get to work.”

, WRESTLING’S NEW STRONGHOLD Wrestling had one of its most successful seasons in school history. The Dragons captured their second consecutive district title, finished second in the region and placed eighth at the state meet.

Head Coach Joseph Hathaway was also named the region Coach of the Year. Over the last six years, Hathaway has built Southlake Carroll into a wrestling powerhouse.

“This was a great season and another step in the right direction for our program,” Hathaway says. “We started out well and carried that momentum on throughout the year. We talk a lot about consistency and that is what we are starting to see from our kids and that is leading to more success on the mat.

“Just like every season, we had our ups and downs, but this experienced group came prepared to compete every week. This was a special group of kids, especially our seniors, that I’ve had the pleasure of working with for many years now.”

Nolin Wheeler (106), Adam Linberg (170), Jack Duval (160), Zach Francis (182 and Cameron Haddock (138) all captured individual district championships. Duval finished as the state runner up in the 160-pound division.

With Duval, Linberg, Haddock and others back in the fold next season, the Dragons look poised to place even higher at state next year.

“This is a talented group and one of the most athletic teams we have had,” Hathaway says. “Having said that, their commitment to preparing for next season on a daily basis will determine their success. I’m really excited to see them put in the work, grow as a team and improve on the mat.”

All three sports and their success have helped Southlake Carroll in the race for the UIL Lone Star Cup, which is awarded annually to six high schools—one in each of the six UIL classifications.

The accolade based on their team performance in district and state championships.

The winning schools in each classification will receive the UIL Lone Star Cup trophy and a $1,000 scholarship.

Southlake Carroll currently sits in third behind The Woodlands and Austin Westlake with 48 points. If these winter sports are any indicator, the Dragons will have a chance to claim the cup with strong athletic performances to round out the school year.

Zach Farrar will go down as one of the best athletes to ever come through Southlake Carroll. But his sports career didn’t exactly get off to a promising start.

At just four years old, Farrar entered a tee-ball league that was for kids a little older than him. In his first game, Farrar was determined to prove he could compete and smacked the ball into the outfield.

There was just one problem— Farrar ran the wrong way.

“He took off to third base, and I was like ‘oh my God, we don’t have a chance here,’” says Farrar’s father, Steve. “We started yelling at him to run back to first base, so he did. And he made it there and was safe. I was like ‘okay, this kid is fast.’ It’s a true story.”

Farrar went on to earn a number of accolades throughout his youth league career and eventually became one of the key pieces to Southlake Carroll’s baseball team. As a junior, Farrar was named a Rawlings Honorable Mention All-American as an outfielder.

But baseball wasn’t the only sport in which Farrar excelled. He also dominated the gridiron as quarterback up until his junior year when he made a transition to wide receiver. This past season, Farrar led the team with 56 receptions for 1,114 yards and 19 touchdowns and helped the Dragons earn yet another postseason berth.

Farrar now has the opportunity to play both sports at the next level.

And that’s exactly what he intends to do. Farrar signed his National Letter of Intent with Oklahoma in February.

“I feel like we really filled a need at wide receiver by getting Zach Farrar,” says Oklahoma Head Football Coach Bob Stoops. “He’s a big, strong receiver that will really have a presence on the outside. We really pushed for him. He’s a great athlete.”

Balancing two sports and a full load of coursework won’t be easy, but Steve believes his son is ready.

“College is hard,” Steve says.

“Being a Division I athlete is harder.

Playing two Division I sports is even harder. The biggest thing I tell Zach is he has to plan. He has to be on top of things and maximize his time. I think he’s going to push himself to accomplish his goals.”

Farrar sat down with DRAGON PRIDE to talk about some of his goals, his athletic career at Southlake Carroll and what he hopes to accomplish during his last baseball season with the Dragons.

DRAGON PRIDE: Overall, how have you been able to balance playing football and baseball and keeping up your grades throughout your career at Southlake Carroll?

Zach: It’s been a journey. I had some ups and downs, but overall it’s been a fun experience getting to play both football and baseball. The experience has been an eyeopener. Both sports have helped me get ready for the real world by having to deal with different teammates and situations. It really taught me a lot. I had a lot of fun meeting people and competing. Just looking back at everything, it’s been a ride.

DRAGON PRIDE: You recently wrapped up your final year of high school football. What were some of your biggest highlights?

Zach: The Cedar Hill game was a big one. I had a big catch late that helped put us over the top. The last game against Denton Guyer was memorable. It was our last game together, and we went out with a bang. The Coppell game was crazy. We weren’t getting much done offensively, and I stepped up with three touchdowns, and we won in double overtime. Those three games define my senior year.

DRAGON PRIDE: On the football side of things, you made your mark as a wide receiver. But I know you originally played quarterback. What was that transition like?

Zach: They breed quarterbacks at Southlake Carroll, and we already had a good one in Ryan Agnew. My junior year I flipped over for the better of the team, and it was a good move. It was tough at first. I wasn’t that open to doing it. But once I got into it, and I realized that I ran good routes and knew the ins and outs of the position because of my time at quarterback, I embraced it. It worked out for me and the team in the long run.

DRAGON PRIDE: Does baseball help out with football or vice versa?

Zach: It’s all about being versatile. Coaches and recruiters love versatile athletes. Playing both really helped with my focus. For me, it’s all about seeing the ball with your eyes.

And you need good hand-eye coordination for both sports.

It’s a big part.

DRAGON PRIDE:Two players that really excelled at both sports at a high level were Deion Sanders and Bo Jackson.

Have you done much research on them?

Zach: Trust me, I’ve done a lot of research on them, especially Bo. He was a big guy that could hit well and throw well. He just had the all-around tools. He’s my role

model. He paved the way for multi-sport athletes. He had the fundamentals down, and he had raw talent.

DRAGON PRIDE: You signed with Oklahoma to play both sports after initially being committed to Mississippi State. What pushed the Sooners over the edge?

Zach: Well, first of all, it’s a dream come true to play both sports at the next level. It’s a blessing. Oklahoma is obviously a powerhouse team in football, and I feel like I can make an early impact there. On the baseball side of things, they are really developing the program. I know I can come in and jump in early. I’m ready to work hard so I can go in there and play early. There was nothing I didn’t like about Mississippi State, but Oklahoma had two things—it was closer to home and the opportunity in both sports was a little better.

DRAGON PRIDE: The recruiting process is so crazy for athletes to deal with these days. How did you handle it?

Zach: The recruiting process actually didn’t play out the way I thought it would. While a bunch of guys were getting offers around me, I really wasn’t. But I remained patient, and a lot of schools came in late. I felt like coaches were missing out on me, but it really ended up on the positive side for me with Oklahoma.

DRAGON PRIDE: What do you want to major in at Oklahoma and what career would you like to pursue?

Zach: I’m going into pre-law. I want to go into law after my career or if baseball and football just doesn’t work out.

I spoke with the dean of law at Oklahoma when I went on my official visit. He said he would be my mentor, which was great. I love law. I love watching judge shows and reading, which is a big part of it.

DRAGON PRIDE: If you had to pick one sport, which one would you choose?

Zach: Football because I know my dad said baseball (laughs). But honestly, it would be a hard decision. It would come down to the wire. I have love for both sports.

DRAGON PRIDE: You are still in the middle of your senior baseball season. What are some of your goals for the rest of the year?

Zach: Hit a lot of homeruns! I’m serious. That’s my big goal.

I want to hit homeruns. I want to go over the fence. I’ve established that I can get base hits. I’m trying to hit some homeruns this year.

Soccer Sensations Both boys and girls soccer teams advanced to the second round of state

DRAGON PRIDE

By EJ Holland

It was another successful season for Southlake Carroll’s soccer programs.

Both the boys and girls made waves during the regular season and advanced to the second round of the state playoffs before bowing out valiantly against tough opponents.

Head coaches Matt Colvin (girls) and Greg Oglesby (boys) have built state powerhouses expected to make deep postseason runs year in and year out.

And the two said they were extremely proud of their teams this season.

While their chase for state titles might have been stopped sooner than expected, the two squads exemplified Dragon pride throughout the year.

On the girls side, the 2015-16 season will be remembered for its record-shattering performances both from a team and individual standpoint.

Southlake Carroll finished the year 23-2 and dominated for the majority of the season.

“We had quite a bit of success throughout the season,” Colvin says. “We broke many team records and individual records. Unfortunately, we fell short in a shootout in our last game. But overall, it was a great year for us.”

After reaching the state final two years ago and advancing to the regional final last season, expectations were, as always, sky high for the Dragons. And Colvin admitted that he thought this team had the potential to win it all.

SPRING 16 • 45

“We had a senior class that had a taste of success,” he says. “Their goal was to not only make it to the state tournament but come away winning. All we can ask as coaches is that they are committed. We had a young team so our goal was to make sure our seniors made sure our young players were all in.”

The team certainly bought in early on.

Southlake Carroll made a statement to open the season as it took home top honors at the National Elite Prep Showcase with wins over Tyler Lee, Bishop Lynch, Monteverde Academy (Florida) and Santa Margarita (California).

The Dragons won all four games by a combined score of 16-0. They played flawless soccer and proved themselves against the country’s best—Santa Margarita was nationally ranked and Montverde Academy was named national champion in 2015.

The Dragon onslaught continued in the Allison Horn Tournament as it took down Keller Central, Denton Guyer and Arlington Martin—by a combined score of 15-2— before suffering its first loss of the season to Keller in the championship game.

The Dragons would not lose another game until the playoffs. They wrapped up their non-district schedule by winning the Governor’s Cup after taking down Round Rock, Humble Atascocita and Katy Taylor by an average score of 3-1.

Overall, Southlake Carroll finished its non-district slate with a 10-1 record and outscored its opponents by an average score of 4-0.

“We tried our best to play a difficult schedule,” Colvin says. “We played some really difficult opponents. We even played a team out of California. We also played the defending national champions out of Florida. We wanted to test ourselves and see how we were going to fare against tough opponents.

“I think we realized early in the season that we had a group that could do some really special things.”

46 • SPRING 16

As hard as it is to imagine, Southlake Carroll grew stronger during district play and ran through 7-6A with an undefeated record—something not even the great teams of the last two years were able to accomplish.

The Dragons scored an eyepopping 88 goals during district play—an average of seven per game—while allowing just five goals total.

“I think it gets overlooked in our community at times,” Colvin says. “It’s kind of expected. But there are hundreds of teams in our region vying for district championships. We were one of not many that were able to win one. And to go undefeated in the district is an even bigger achievement.”

Southlake Carroll played perhaps its best game of the season as it took down South Grand Prairie, 10-0, in the first round of the playoffs. Unfortunately for the Dragons, their season came to an end in heartbreaking fashion the following week to Flower Mound Marcus.

After allowing a goal four minutes into the game, the Dragons battled back to take a 2-1 lead. But Southlake Carroll gave up a goal with nine minutes remaining and ultimately lost on penalty kicks.

Still, enough can’t be said about the Dragons and their special year. Ally Griffin set a school record with 49 goals scored, while Allie Luna set the program record for assists in a season with 39. Grace Cory became the all-time leader in Dragon history with 221 points and tied the school record for most game-winning goals with 26.

The Dragons also featured one of the state’s biggest breakout players in freshman goalkeeper Madison Martin, who recorded 15 shutouts, which ranked fifth all-time in a season.

“We were able to throw a lot of numbers going forward into the attack,” Colvin says.

The team got stronger and better as the season went on.”

- Greg Oglesby

“We had multiple options. Our frontrunners were really dynamic. We had experience in the midfield. We were able to put pressure on teams and defend them all.”

The boys’ route to the second round of the playoffs was a bit more of a bumpy ride.

Southlake Carroll was inconsistent out of the gate due to youth and inexperience, shuffled through five different goalkeepers and endured some tough losses and ties but found a way to finish with a 16-5-4 record and reach the postseason.

“The team got stronger and better as the season went on,” Oglesby says. “I thought we had an impressive ending to the season. Our goal is always to win a district championship and get to the regional tournament, but we knew we had a very young team and inexperience at goal.”

The Dragons opened the season with a loss to Arlington Martin but won its next three games. After recording ties in three of its following four games, Southlake Carroll closed out its non-district slate with three wins in a row.

But the streak didn’t last. Southlake Carroll fell to Coppell in the district opener, 6-0. After going 3-2-1 over its next half dozen games, a spark came on as the Dragons won six games in a row, including a 2-0 win over Midlothian in the first round of the playoffs.

During that span, the Dragons were led by the electric duo of Calvin Heard and Nat Kajiwara. The two combined for 39 goals on the season and helped the Dragons outscore their opponents, 23-7, during the run.

“It’s a testament to the kids because they kept working and they kept training,” Oglesby says.

“They started to comprehend what we wanted done. They just started to play better as a team.

We got to a point where I felt like we were really dangerous offensively. I thought we had significant improvement from last year.”

Southlake Carroll’s season came to an end the next week in a gut-wrenching 2-1 loss to Plano East in the second round of the playoffs.

“Last year, we lost on penalty kicks,” Oglesby says. “This year, we had 18 shots on goal, and we outplayed them. I couldn’t ask the kids to do more than they did. We just need to work hard and get a better bounce of the ball next season.”

With a number of key starters coming back for both the boys and girls soccer teams, the Dragons should be a force to reckon with on the pitch next year.
