Once again, Kingwood Park has landed both its girls and boys teams in the playoffs, this time in soccer.

While the girls had already clinched a playoff spot, they locked up second place in District 22-3A thanks to Jamie Luis goal in the 51′ on an assist from Nicole DiSevo to put the Lady Panthers over Willis 1-0.

The girls will see either Port Neches-Groves or Nederland in the first round. The game is tentatively scheduled for Thursday at 6 p.m. at Deer Park’s Abshier Stadium, a real nice venue.

The boys needed a win to help lock up the third and final playoff spot, sealing the deal with a 6-0 thrashing of Willis. Juan Castillo led the way with three goals, while John Drew, Lance Draper and Casen Hunger each added goals of their own.

The boys will match-up with Nederland, tentatively scheduled for Friday at 8 p.m. at Crosby High School. I’ll be posting soccer playoff updates all week, so stay tuned.
