 Hernandez has played soccer for much longer than just high school and said, “Soccer has shaped me into the person I am today. It’s turned me into a disciplined and resilient person. The sport taught me teamwork, time management and the importance of setting and reaching goals.” 

Irma Cortez (12) joined soccer her sophomore year and said her goals for the upcoming season is “to make a lot of memories with the girls and to win all of our games.”

 Cortez has been playing soccer since she was 7 years old and said what she is looking forward to the most is the bus rides with the girls.
