%%^/r' 3-peat Piano wins third straight boys' state soccer crown The Piano boys soccer team became the first school — boys or girls — to win three consecutive state soccer titles with a 3-1 victory over El Paso Hanks in the finals of the recent U1L State Soccer Tournament. The Wildcats, who have won three state championships in each of their three visits to Austin, reached the finals with a 2-0 shutout of Klein in the semifinals. El Paso Hanks gained a berth in the title game with a 2-1 over New Braunfels. In the girls' bracket, San Antonio Madison won its second state championship in the last three years with a 2-1 victory over Humble Kingwood. The Lady Mavericks have qualified for the state tournament five times in the 11- year history of the U1L sport, losing in the semifinals in 1988, the finals in 1989 and 1990 and winning in 1991 and 1993. Madison gained the finals with a 2-0 Wanking of Piano while Humble Kingwood edged Arlington Martin 5-2. WHAT A KICK.
