For 20+ years, Austin Guest has led the Midlothian soccer teams, both on the boys and girls side. He recently won his 800th career game after the girls beat Crandall 8-0 on Feb. 24.
A career that started three decades ago when Guest was at Red Oak.
In 1998, Guest coached both teams and then in 2003, he led the Red Oak boys to the 4A state title. The Hawks finished with a 21-5-1 record after taking down WF Rider 1-0 in the semifinals and SA Alamo Heights 2-0 in the championship.
Two years later and Guest would end up in Midlothian, Texas.
Guest coached the boys and girls teams until 2010. He moved to just the boys program through 2019 and then returned to coaching both teams since.
The Midlothian boys also beat Crandall 8-0 on Feb. 24.
Guest led the Panther boys team to its first state tournament in 2024 – capped off with the 5A state championship. They went 25-2-3 with wins over Baytown Goose Creek Memorial and powerhouse Frisco Wakeland, a game they won 3-1.
The girls are 14-3-3 overall and 10-0-2 in District 15-5A this season.
The boys are 10-6-4 and 6-3-3.
