She capped it off with a strong showing in Washington during the ECNL postseason. Camin is a box-to-box midfielder who can dominate the game at the youth level. Camin is skillful on the ball and a bullseye shot with either foot. She is a tenacious defender who is not afraid to get stuck into a tackle. She has shown all of the quality to be considered among the top midfielders in the ECNL 08 age group. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["153917"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66e1de69677bf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mya is listed as a midfielder/defender on her player profile. She is a playmaker from either role. She can play out wide or through the center. I think she projects as a wide midfielder, but the versatility is there for her to find a home in a different role depending on the system. Her passing ability stands out from game film. She has excellent vision and the technique to pull off the pass. Mitchell should be a top player to watch in the ECNL RL this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["27109"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66e1de6967818"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Heintz is a midfielder on the Classics Elite 08 ECNL team. She missed most of last season with a knee injury. She has recovered and put on a show during the summer at some of the College ID camps. Heintz has been a key contributor for her club side in the past and started the ECNL season earning a spot on her club's Team of the Week. She will be one to watch this season as she continues to show her quality once again on the pitch. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["226009"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66e1de696786d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><br>Elder is a midfielder on the Albion Hurricanes FC ECNL RL 07 team. She was a key player for the team in the run to the ECNL RL National Championship game. Elder is an attacking midfielder who is clever on the ball, skillful, and a gifted passer with either foot. She is a prolific scorer from the midfield and a regular contributor of key passes from that role. Elder is a player with potential to be an early impact player at the college level thanks to her ability to play one or two-touch through the center of the field. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["26434"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66e1de69678c0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hollas is a midfielder/defender for DKSC 08 ECNL. She is a versatile player who could fit in at a number of spots on the field. The trait from Hollas' game that immediately jumps out is her elite recovery speed. When she is playing as a center back, it shows up from time to time, but when she is in the center of the field at midfield, she is flying around and shutting down attacks with her pace. Hollas is good on the ball and an excellent passer. She is flying a bit under the radar as she missed last season due to an ACL injury. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["226014"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66e1de6967914"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Maldei-Stumm is a midfielder on the Sting Austin 08 ECNL team. She plays as the defensive midfielder for her club side. She immediately stood out from the ECNL playoffs as a player who could make a big impact at the next level. She runs the center of the field for her club side. I think she is flying a bit under the radar at this point but she is easily one of the best defensive midfielders in Texas in this class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["26780"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66e1de6967965"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Curs is a midfielder on the DKSC 08 ECNL team. She is a riser in the recent update to the Prep Soccer rankings for Texas. Curs impressed during the ECNL postseason. She can play out of tight spaces with her nimble footwork and quick decision-making. She covers a ton of ground and does well in identifying where to be in support of her team - she is constantly scanning the field and does well in organizing her teammates. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
