The results in recent years have shown how much better these three teams have been compared to the rest of the Las Vegas scene. We’re expecting more of the same this year as 12 players from those schools are listed between the Preseason 11 and the others to watch.
Here’s a glance at the top players to watch this fall:
FORWARDS: All three forwards on the Preseason 11 were first-team All-Southern Nevada selections in 2021. Kicking off the group is Portland commit Xayla Black Xayla Black F Coronado | 2023 NV . She totaled 14 goals and eight assists last season for a title-winning team that had the luxury of a lot of goal scorers. This year, she might be asked to carry more of the offense. … Andrea Leyva Andrea Leyva F Faith Lutheran (NV) | 2024 #57 Nation NV of Faith Lutheran is an elite Class of 2024 prospect. Her high school season was cut short by injury but still, she managed nine goals and 10 assists in 13 matches. … There are higher profile recruits but when it comes to pure numbers, Adryanna Avena-Caraballo Adryanna Avena-Caraballo F Pahrump Valley | 2023 NV of Pahrump Valley will be a player to watch. As a junior, she netted 39 goals and added 21 assists in leading the team to a 3A state title.
MIDFIELDERS: Trinity Buchanan of Coronado is an early state player of the year candidate. Last season the UNLV commit netted 15 goals and had 14 assists for the Class 5A state title-winning team. She earned first-team All-Southern Nevada honors in 2021. … Mia Coe Mia Coe M Faith Lutheran | 2023 NV of Faith Lutheran was a second-team All-southern Nevada pick last year. She scored 12 goals and assisted on nine. … Milan Cordone Milan Cordone M Coronado | 2023 NV , like Coe, was a second-team All-Southern Nevada pick last year. She had nine goals and eight assists for Coronado. … Kasandra Dominguez Kasandra Dominguez M Cimarron-Memorial | 2023 NV posted the largest numbers last season among this group of midfielders, and likely will do it again this year. The Cimarron-Memorial player scored 27 goals and added 18 assists as the team won the Class 4A state title.
DEFENDERS: Olivia Lester Olivia Lester M Sierra Vista | 2023 NV of Sierra Vista was a bright spot on a team that struggled last year. The Gonzaga commit wasn’t a true defender as she pushed forward to help keep this team in matches. But she was listed on the roster as a defender, so she’s the anchor of our preseason defense. … Faith Lutheran’s Lindley Amick Lindley Amick D NV is one of the state’s top Class of 2024 prospects. … Daphne Egelhoff Daphne Egelhoff D Coronado | 2023 NV is one of several NCAA Division I prospects in Coronado’s lineup this fall. Last season she played a role in a defense that allowed 19 goals during a 20-1-2 campaign.
GOALKEEPER: Bryanna Perry Bryanna Perry GK Desert Oasis | 2023 NV of Desert Oasis was a second-team All-Southern Nevada selection last year after helping the team to a 10-win season. The Southern Utah commit saved three of the four penalty kicks she faced last season.
