KYLAX Girls History

The Kingwood Youth Lacrosse (KYLAX) program is the feeder program for the Kingwood Lady Lacrosse (KLL) High School Program. Former KYLAX trained players have achieved much success with KLL at both the City (Houston) and State levels over the past decade and a half. 

In 2006, KLL captured its first Texas State High School Girls Division II Championship with a 10-7 win over Lamar. KLL followed that up with a Houston Area Division II Championship in 2007 and a Runner-up finished at the State level. 

In 2013, former KYL AX players helped KLL captured both the Houston Area Division II Girls Lacrosse title and the Texas State Girls High School Division II Championship. 

In 2015, KLL moved up to Division I, for only the second time in its history, and has remained there ever since, achieving Quarterfinal appearances in the Texas State High School Division I tournament in 2016 and 2017.
