He is a little small, but he's fierce, he leads and can stop shots with his quick reactions and ability to read the game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>DEFENDERS: </strong>[player_tooltip player_id='8497' first='Quinn' last='Garrett'] of La Costa Canyon is the lone senior on this list as he is joined by juniors Emiliano Postlethwaite and Caden Rayfield. Postlethwaite was a standout defender for the aforementioned St. Augustine team while Rayfield was the defensive leader for San Pasqual.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>MIDFIELDERS:</strong> A great group of midfielders is led by [player_tooltip player_id='7711' first='Iain' last='Wagner'] of St. Augustine, who is an explosive and creative No. 10. He is off to the University of San Diego. A pair, both seniors, from San Dieguito Academy join the midfield as Riley Kellar and Garrett Delorme were vital to the Mustangs turning around their season and becoming a section and regional force by the end. [player_tooltip player_id='7756' first='Jack' last='Bottini'], the one junior, is a Torrey Pines midfielder who sees the game well, is composed and controlled on the ball and will put in a shift. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>FORWARDS:</strong> [player_tooltip player_id='48943' first='Gus' last='Velez'] of No. 1 ranked and SoCal regional champ St. Augustine headlines this group. Velez is a striker with a lot of ability, he's well-rounded and is heading to the University of San Diego. Godwin Antwi of Del Norte joins this group as the very talented forward led Del Norte to a great season. Antwi appears set to be turning pro. The two seniors are joined by a freshman in Abraham Lopez from San Pasqual who had 14 goals and six assists. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/table-import {"name":"acf/table-import","data":{"import_file":168123,"_import_file":"field_637be8ff37223"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6601b58256b1a"} /-->
