With three state championships during the 2008-09 season, Conroe The Woodlands High School has captured its third Class 5A Lone Star Cup in four years. The Woodlands won state titles in boys and girls cross country and girls swimming and diving as well as made lengthy playoff runs in boys and girls soccer.
Friendswood High School made a late season run to win its first-ever Lone Star Cup, in Class 4A, by two points over Waco Midway High School. Friendswood’s victories in the State Academic Meet and One-Act Play propelled them into the top spot.
Four state championships and a second-place finish in girls basketball helped Argyle High School win its second Lone Star Cup, first in class 3A. Argyle won the Class 2A Lone Star Cup in 2006.
Class 2A Brock High School won its first-ever Lone Star Cup on the heels of state championship wins in girls basketball and softball. A lengthy run in the baseball playoffs gave Brock enough points to overtake last year’s winner Salado.
Lindsay High School finished the year strong to win its fourth-straight Class A Lone Star Cup. After an impressive showing at the State Academic Meet and a long playoff run in softball, Lindsay now has the second-longest streak and longest active streak of Lone Star Cup victories.
