Girls’ Best Class of 2028 Outfielders: Eastern and Western NC

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The girls' outfield talent for the class of 2028 in both western and eastern North Carolina is very interesting. Each region already has a strong presence in the academy setting. [program_tooltip program_id='283526' first='Wilmington' last='Hammerheads'] provides plenty for the eastern region and [program_tooltip program_id='280390' first='Highland' last='FC'] for the western region. However, their high school teams also provide an important amount of players to the pool as well. Many of the players listed play for both school and academy. But, this list includes more players than usual that perform at school level who don't play for either academy. There are 18 players on this list, 5 defenders, 7 midfielders, and 6 attackers. Because it's a combined list, there are two italicized players per position per region.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Defenders</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:table {"className":"is-style-stripes"} --> <figure class="wp-block-table is-style-stripes"><table class="has-fixed-layout"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Name</strong></td><td><strong>School</strong></td><td><strong>Club</strong></td></tr><tr><td>Cameron Bary</td><td>Myrtle Beach High School (South Carolina)</td><td>[program_tooltip program_id='283526' first='Wilmington' last='Hammerheads']</td></tr><tr><td><em>Lillian Walker</em></td><td><em>T.C.
