Pan Am and Longview Christian Heritage at top
Pan American School (defending state TAPPS champions) and Longview Christian Heritiage, both with undefeated and untied records, have climed to the top of the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools as the 2009 fall soccer season nears its halfway point.

Both teams have competition. Pan Am narrowly defeated Universal City First Baptist (2-1), while Sherman Texoma Christian (8-2) challenges Longview for honors in the north. Austin Concordia and Brownsville Livingway are both 2-1. Other contenders are Conroe Covenant Christian and Highlands Chinquapin each have won their only games as well.

The individual scoring race is heating up on several fronts, although Christian Ortiz of Pan American appears to be building a substantial lead.
