She goes to Alamo Heights High School in San Antonio and competes in the ECNL League with [program_tooltip program_id='283296' first='Classics' last='Elite'] U19. Constantly called up for the USYNT, she's one of the top attacking players in the entire country in her age group, making a difference with her well-rounded and diverse skill set. A center forward, Cunningham has incredible athletic tools and is physical enough to occupy two center backs at once. Very quick and lethal in front of the goal, she makes her name with well-timed runs behind the backline and clinical finishes. Cunningham likes to get involved in the team's playmaking, dropping deep to get on the ball and creating chances with strong runs on the ball and accurate passing.</p>      <p class="text-gray-700">Aguilar ranks second among the forwards and fifth overall among the Class of 2027 Texas forwards in our most recent release. She's part of Cleburne High School in the Dallas area and one of the stars of the Solar SC U17 team that competes in the ECNL League. Technical and well-rounded, she can play different roles up top, but is probably at her best when used on the wings, where she has the space to take opponents in 1v1 duels with her intelligent and direct dribbling. Aguilar's dribbling is very instinctual and creative, allowing her to find solutions and create space in difficult plays. She's always very smart with her first touch and often creates advantageous situations in the final third for her team by using it to beat defenders and forcing opponents to defend out of shape.</p>    <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepsoccer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2024/09/IMG_8443.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-263792" /></figure>    <p class="text-gray-700">De Moor took seventh place among the Class of 2027 forwards and is ranked 24th overall in the state. She represents Celina at the high school level and is part of [program_tooltip program_id='283648' first='FC' last='Dallas'] U17 in the ECNL League. Capable of playing different roles up top, she fits best as a striker, a position that maximizes her tremendous goalscoring ability. De Moor operates incredibly well as the focal point of her team's offense, winning physical duels, working well with her back to the goal and showing excellent vision and intelligence to make moves and connect passes in tight spaces. The forward can also be dangerous by making runs behind the backline, as she times her movement well and does a good job of getting separation from opposing defenders. De Moor knows her way inside the penalty and can be particularly difficult to stop in the air.</p>    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UeHIrP-jl4 </div></figure>    <p class="text-gray-700">Allison is the ninth-best forward in Texas and the 30th most interesting prospect overall according to our new State Rankings. She captains Bridgeland during the high school season and leads the line for [program_tooltip program_id='283243' first='Albion' last='Hurricanes FC'] U17 in the ECNL League. Most commonly used as a striker, Allison is very good at using her body to control the space and shield opponents away, being an excellent target for long passes and throw-ins. A lefty, she's a lethal finisher who combines power and precision in her shots, being capable of scoring from well outside the penalty box. Allison also contributes with high-level playmaking, either dropping back to distribute the ball or drifting wide to make plays and get crosses into the box.</p>    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/CardenAllison1/status/1941184465918980549/ </div></figure>    <p class="text-gray-700">Landry stood out in 19th place among the forwards and ended up in 61st place overall in our updated Rankings. She's a star for Frassati Catholic at the high school level and one of the top players in the HTX U17 team in the Girls Academy League. A prolific goalscorer, she moves well in the final third, finding pockets of space to get on the ball and keeping opposing backlines under pressure with her constant running. Landry is an excellent finisher, too, who consistently gets into good spots inside the ball to score and is very precise with her shots. Her game is extremely well-rounded, and allows her to make an offensive impact if used a little deeper as an attacking midfielder or out wide on the wings.</p>    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/BlakeLandryTX/status/1964415807150231686/ </div></figure>
