<p class="text-gray-700">The senior forward looks to be the leader for the defending state champions. Work had 18 goals and 7 assist last season. The striker is quick and can knock in a goal at any time. The senior is coming off a ACL injury from last fall in the region tournament. Stone Work should be on the radar for college coaches </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">The senior keeper will be one to watch this season. Hartlage has committed to University of Massachusetts. Look for Hartlage to be the top goalkeeper in the state this season. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">The junior forward is new to the Louisville scene after spending two seasons in Fort Wayne IN. Walker finished 2nd in the Summit City Athletic Conference for goals last season. Walker is quick on his feet and is not afraid to drop back to defend. Walker should be one of the top forwards in the 6th region. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">The senior defender has been overlooked the past few seasons This season, Yearwood should stand out on the backline for the defending state champions. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">The senior midfielder brings veteran experience to Trinity this season. Travis had 17 goals last season along with a strong off season with Louisville City FC. Travis will be one of the top players in the state. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Like Yearwood, Petty will be strong on the backline for St X. Petty is quick and can handle any pressure at any time. Look for [player_tooltip player_id='11467' first='Grayson' last='Petty'] to be the top defender in the state. </p>
