Best of Girls’ Class of 2027: Southern Piedmont

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The girls' class of 2027 for the southern Piedmont provides us with tremendous talent all across the pitch. The number of players in this region who have the potential to become special players easily surpasses the 23 I listed here. Undoubtedly, this region consistently provides us with high-potential talents across both genders and any class years. Charlotte Independence and Charlotte Soccer Academy have done fantastic work in capturing the region's top talents, and it's worth looking even deeper than just this list. With that being said, the following 23 players caught my eye just more than their peers. The italicized player is the one who stood out the most for the respective positions. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Goalkeepers</h2> <!-- /wp:heading -->
