AGN Girls Soccer Preseason Super Team 2022 lineup
STARTING 11
GK: Quintessa Rodriguez, Sr., Pampa
A three-year starter for the Lady Harvesters, Rodriguez was a solid presence between the pipes as Pampa gave up just five goals in district play to win the title.
DF: Kenlie Hooks, Sr, Amarillo High
Hooks was a top performer during the Lady Sandies’ playoff run last year and returns for a final swing in the heart of Amarillo High's stellar defense after earning second Team All-District in 2021.
DF: Aubrey Dorn, Sr., Pampa
Dorn formed part of the airtight Pampa defense that allowed only five goals in district play last year and hopes to do the same again heading into her final year of action.
DF: Shelby McCurdy, Sr., Randall
McCurdy is expected to be a steady leader in the Lady Raiders’ already stellar defense as the team hopes to challenge for a district title.
DF: Cali Bessent, Jr., Randall
A first-team All-District honoree, Bessent pairs her defensive presence with excellent passing delivery, registering a team-leading 10 assists last season, along with four goals scored.
MF: Isabella Hernandez, Sr., Pampa
Hernadez returns for a final season with the Lady Harvesters as the defensive anchor in midfield, helping Pampa to a district title and providing an extra layer of protection for the defense.
MF: Vianey Davila, Sr., Caprock
A first-team All-District honoree last year, Davila pulled the strings from midfield for the Lady Horns and finished the season with 10 goals and seven assists.
MF: Gracie Van Winkle, Soph., Canyon
The 2021 AGN Newcomer of the year, Van Winkle earned her way into the starting lineup in the midfield, providing five goals and five assists and will be called upon again in a more attacking role this year.
FW: Saizlee Carlton, Sr., Amarillo High
Carlton’s impact for the Lady Sandies cannot be understated, with her 20 goals and 15 assists a huge reason why Amarillo High reached the 5A regional final.
FW: Kealy Juarez, Sr., Randall
Juarez’s 16 goals and three assists for Randall led her to be named the District 3-5A Offensive Player of the Year and TASCO Honorable Mention All-Region honors.
FW: Nicole Gray, Sr., Amarillo High
A versatile attacking player that can join the midfield ranks, Gray’s 18 goals and 11 assists last season means her presence will provide another offensive spark for the Lady Sandies.
