Weekly Texas High School Soccer Recap — Jan. 5‑11, 2026

The first full week of January brought a busy slate of high school soccer matches across the state as winter competition ramped up ahead of district play later in the month. Teams from all classifications hit the field in what was one of the first weeks with a large cluster of results.

Standout Results & Performances

While MaxPreps lists nearly 200 soccer matches played statewide during this period, a few results stood out for their margins and implications:

• La Grange recorded a commanding 10‑0 victory over Salado, showcasing one of the week’s most dominant offensive performances.

• Bowie topped Del Valle 8‑0, another high‑scoring result that highlighted strong attacking play from the Wildcats.

Other featured matchups during the week included Weatherford vs. Mansfield Legacy, Rio Grande City vs. Martin, and South Grand Prairie vs. Sam Houston — illustrating the depth of competition across Texas’ high school programs.

Early Season Context

This week of action marked one of the first weeks of regular winter soccer competition for many UIL teams, as schools transitioned from preseason and non‑district matchups to heavier schedules.

With district games beginning later in January, performances in this window helped teams build momentum and sharpen tactical identity. The wide range of scores — from narrow wins to decisive blowouts — highlights how coaches are testing their squads and integrating new players early in the season.
