Best of Girls’ Class of 2029: Eastern and Western NC

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The eastern and western regions of North Carolina have an interesting class of 2029 in the girls' game. These two regions have been included in this article and previous ones, as one combined because of the smaller population they have. [program_tooltip program_id='280390' first='Highland' last='FC'] and [program_tooltip program_id='283526' first='Wilmington' last='Hammerheads'] are the clubs that are in charge of capturing the talent from each region. However, the high school programs are not strangers to success on the state level. The following list of 20 has 2 goalkeepers and 6 defenders, midfielders, and attackers. Unlike the previous articles for this class, each position has 2 players highlighted as the standout player. Each player highlighted is the standout player in their position in their respective region. As is the case for the standout players, they will have a future article specifically evaluating them.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Goalkeepers</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><em>Ellis Pifer</em></td><td><em>Pisgah High School</em></td><td><em>[program_tooltip program_id='280390' first='Highland' last='FC']</em></td></tr><tr><td><em>[player_tooltip player_id='384869' first='Lily' last='Hauck']</em></td><td><em>Ashley High School</em></td><td><em>[program_tooltip program_id='283526' first='Wilmington' last='Hammerheads']</em></td></tr></tbody></table></figure> <!-- /wp:table --> <!-- 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>Bentley Ford</td><td>Asheville High School</td><td>[program_tooltip program_id='280390' first='Highland' last='FC']</td></tr><tr><td><em>Abigail Laws</em></td><td><em>Asheville Christian Academy</em></td><td><em>[program_tooltip program_id='280390' first='Highland' last='FC']</em></td></tr><tr><td>Megan Schlesinger</td><td>Enka High School</td><td>[program_tooltip program_id='280390' first='Highland' last='FC']</td></tr><tr><td><em>[player_tooltip player_id='384868' first='Stella' last='Pepper']</em></td><td><em>Laney High School</em></td><td><em>[program_tooltip program_id='283526' first='Wilmington' last='Hammerheads']</em></td></tr><tr><td>[player_tooltip player_id='382709' first='Serenity' last='Singleton']</td><td>Jacksonville High School</td><td>[program_tooltip program_id='283526' first='Wilmington' last='Hammerheads']</td></tr><tr><td>[player_tooltip player_id='384871' first='Hattie' last='Stevens']</td><td>Atlantic Collegiate Academy (South Carolina)</td><td>[program_tooltip program_id='283526' first='Wilmington' last='Hammerheads']</td></tr></tbody></table></figure> <!-- /wp:table --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Midfielders</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>Elisa Brennan</td><td>AC Reynolds High School</td><td>[program_tooltip program_id='280390' first='Highland' last='FC']</td></tr><tr><td><em>Ella Buckner</em></td><td><em>Enka High School</em></td><td><em>[program_tooltip program_id='280390' first='Highland' last='FC']</em></td></tr><tr><td>Morgan Epps</td><td>Tuscola High School</td><td>[program_tooltip program_id='280390' first='Highland' last='FC']</td></tr><tr><td><em>[player_tooltip player_id='384865' first='Sophia' last='Kamaris']</em></td><td><em>Hoggard High School</em></td><td><em>[program_tooltip program_id='283526' first='Wilmington' last='Hammerheads']</em></td></tr><tr><td>Sloane Guidry</td><td>Dixon High School</td><td>[program_tooltip program_id='283526' first='Wilmington' last='Hammerheads']</td></tr><tr><td>Josephina Nunu</td><td>Jacksonville High School</td><td>[program_tooltip program_id='283526' first='Wilmington' last='Hammerheads']</td></tr></tbody></table></figure> <!-- /wp:table --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Attackers</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>Kendzi Epps</td><td>Tuscola High School</td><td>[program_tooltip program_id='280390' first='Highland' last='FC']</td></tr><tr><td><em>Gwyneth Schick</em></td><td><em>Tuscola High School</em></td><td>H<em>ighland FC</em></td></tr><tr><td>Ellory Manget</td><td>Ashville High School</td><td>[program_tooltip program_id='280390' first='Highland' last='FC']</td></tr><tr><td><em>[player_tooltip player_id='344038' first='Anna' last='Corbett']</em></td><td><em>Ashley High School</em></td><td><em>[program_tooltip program_id='283526' first='Wilmington' last='Hammerheads']</em></td></tr><tr><td>[player_tooltip player_id='384417' first='Taylor' last='Buttles']</td><td>Atlantic Collegiate Academy (South Carolina)</td><td>[program_tooltip program_id='283526' first='Wilmington' last='Hammerheads']</td></tr><tr><td>[player_tooltip player_id='384870' first='Chloe' last='Holland']</td><td>Topsail High School</td><td>[program_tooltip program_id='283526' first='Wilmington' last='Hammerheads']</td></tr></tbody></table></figure> <!-- /wp:table -->
