Some club players are participating in events such as ECNL Phoenix over the weekend and will be joining their high school teams once all club play has concluded, while high school coaches make the best of things before their key players return.   Given the opportunity to rest and prepare for their next level of their soccer journey, some players choose to pass on the high school season and prepare for the next levels of soccer.  Also, some also feel the need to take the leap of faith and commit themselves to the ups and downs of high school soccer and playing with their friends for the last time.   With my upcoming second edition of the league preseason list, I will go over the other teams in NorCal, Central Valley, Napa Valley, and other areas of California.

Her strengths include quickly transitioning from defense to the attack and identifying gaps in defenses. She has scored 22 goals and provided 13 assists for a total of 57 points. The University of San Diego commit is looking forward to competing for the league title and get her team into playoff contentions.

Currently at 47 goals and 12 assists for 106 points, Alessia has accomplished a lot so far in her first two years of varsity soccer. She is known for her ability to get back up after contact with larger players and playing with her back against the goal. Players such as Villalpando, who can play this style of soccer, usually transition to the next level with ease. Her 1v1 finishing skills are also where she has made her mark. Alessia has also left her footprint on the ECNL scene while being named the ECNL Girls Playoffs U15 standout at the Surf Cup. The UC Santa Barbara commit will be a player to watch for a possible State Gatorade Player of the Year award sometime in the final two seasons of high school.    Player Highlights: ECNL Phoenix   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.instagram.com/p/DfiZgxjPilI/ </div></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='266730' first='Braleah' last='Burris'] - 2028 - Forward/Midfielder - Eastlake    The dual-footed finisher is calm under pressure and has a knack for finding openings in the attacking third. While being the focal point of her team's offense, Braleah excels as a central striker or as a forward playing out wide and slicing through open pockets. Her ability to score after linking in the attacking third has given her 19 goals and 5 assists thus far. While previously being invited to the U.S. Soccer USNT ID Center in Norco for 2010 girls, she is definitely on the radar for future opportunities. She is currently uncommitted, but things can surely change in the next couple of months. I'm going out on a limb and say that she will have a really good year and try to get her team into playoff contentions.
