The JV Red squad from Lake Belton High School earned an impressive 3-0 victory over Chaparral High School Tuesday night, showcasing a performance built on teamwork, discipline, and unselfish play.

From the opening whistle, Lake Belton emphasized possession and communication. Crisp passing through the midfield, smart off-the-ball movement, and constant support defensively allowed JV Red to control the flow of the match. Every line—from the forwards to the back four—worked together to keep pressure high and maintain structure.

That team-first mentality set up the scoring opportunities. Jaiden Gomez opened the scoring after a well-built attacking sequence that involved multiple touches and patient buildup. With teammates creating space and drawing defenders, Gomez capitalized and finished confidently to put Lake Belton ahead 1-0.

The chemistry continued to show as JV Red maintained pressure. Later in the match, Gomez struck again—once more the product of strong team buildup and relentless effort to win second balls and keep the attack alive. His second goal extended the lead to 2-0, but it was the collective work rate around him that made the opportunity possible.

Defensively, the team remained locked in. Communication in the back line, support from the midfield tracking back, and smart decision-making prevented Chaparral from gaining momentum. The clean sheet reflected a total team commitment on both sides of the ball.

The final goal perfectly captured the night’s theme. Gomez, already with two goals, chose the unselfish option—delivering a precise assist to Rowan Schlicht, who finished the play to seal the 3-0 win. The moment highlighted trust, awareness, and the team chemistry that defined the match.

While Gomez’s two goals and assist and Schlicht’s finish stand out on the stat sheet, the victory was a complete team effort. Lake Belton JV Red proved that when everyone contributes and plays for each other, the results follow.
