<p>The boys' Northern Piedmont region of the class of 2029 is the next group of players to look at in the region. Though the list only has 20 players, it could have easily had more. [program_tooltip program_id='277914' first='Carolina' last='Core'] has been a fantastic addition to the region in capturing more talent, especially in the Triad region, for this age range. This list will need to be added to in the future as talents who were left out start to shine brighter. The list has 2 goalkeepers and 6 defenders, midfielders, and attackers. Each position has a standout player with their information italicized. They will be evaluated in a future article more specifically.</p>
