Boy’s Cali High School Coverage: Freshmen Flying Early

Boy’s Cali High School Coverage: Freshmen Flying Early

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Some interesting names are emerging in the California High School ranks. Freshmen who are having a big impact on their teams success are rare. These boys have had an excellent start to their campaigns. High School soccer is a place where diamonds can be found. Kids who don't have the money or opportunity to play for top clubs can be found here. Sometimes they live in areas where club soccer isn't even available unless they are willing to commute for hours each way to attend training/games. Showing some love to some under the radar talents is what we do here at PrepSoccer and here are some names to keep an eye on for the remainder of the season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Eric Gonzalez ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2029","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"103","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Julian High School ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6943156498ff9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A fascinating situation here for the Julian High Eagles.
