The 2020 high school soccer seasons were one many lost because of the global pandemic. Due to precautions for the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, the season was initially postponed in March before the UIL canceled all remaining spring sports seasons in April.

Still, the soccer seasons, boys’ and girls’, were on the brink of the playoffs, with just two more nights of district play remaining. With that, a lot was determined about who were the best players and which teams were the best through district play, which allowed for all-district picks to still be made by District 19-6A’s coaches.

On the girls’ side, the four playoff teams were set. Tompkins led the pack at 9-0-1 for 28 points, followed by Seven Lakes (8-1-2, 26 points), Cinco Ranch (4-3-3, 15 points) and Taylor (3-5-2, 11 points).

Katy (2-4-4, 10 points), Morton Ranch (3-7-1, 10 points) and Mayde Creek (0-9-1, 1 point) rounded out the rest of the district.

Tompkins senior Skylar Parker was named 19-6A’s Most Valuable Player. Seven Lakes senior Ari Ghafari was named Offensive MVP and Tompkins junior Avery Burchett was named Defensive MVP.

Taylor junior Sydney Blanchard was named Goalkeeper of the Year. Taylor’s Mike Agiannidis was named Coach of the Year for leading the Mustangs back to the playoffs for the first time since the 2017 season.

Here is the rest of the all-district girls soccer team.
