Warriors put together a quality 80 minute effort to earn their first rivalry win over the Storm in 9 years!
Never have I seen a goalkeeper come off the bench with as much energy as I witnessed Carlos Pena-Gomez (Jay M. Robinson) display to end the win at Northwest Cabarrus. Despite only playing the final 15 minutes or so, he became the loudest player on the pitch & I thoroughly enjoyed watching him command the box. – at Concord, NC
Dylan Simon was the most prominent component in the Northwest Cabarrus attack vs Jay M. Robinson. He has a good understanding of the game for a young player & is showing solid overall development as a playmaker. His assertiveness is a plus also. – at Concord, NC
Jason Rivera-Zuniga (Jay M. Robinson) brings a heightened level of grit & toughness to the pitch which was on display in the win at Northwest Cabarrus. He defends, contributes to forward momentum & will surprise you with flashes of impressive clinical ability. As the team’s sole 4-year varsity letterman, he is a great example for younger players. – at Concord, NC
Daniel Carranza-Guevara (Jay M. Robinson) really impressed me with how he defended in the win at Northwest Cabarrus. He took charge of stopping a plethora of attacks, getting behind the ball well & showing great mobility for a player with such a solid frame. – at Concord, NC
William Marquez-Hernandez (Jay M. Robinson) was simply stunning in the win at Northwest Cabarrus. He scored or contributed to all 4 goals scored, playing aggressively on the ball & tenaciously defensively when it was time to win it back. His skill set includes eye-popping shot power & accuracy, in addition to a keen eye as a playmaker. – at Concord, NC

Wonders put it all together for a quality team win on senior night 💚🤍
Despite the loss, Evan Mawhinney (Watauga) still looked dangerous in attack vs West Forsyth. It’s fascinating how quickly he can slice through defenders at his size & easy to see why he is the reigning Northwestern 6A/7A conference player of the year. Surely more accolades to come in his senior season. – at Clemmons, NC
Forward Kade Flinchum (West Forsyth) has been one of the biggest risers state-wide this season. In his first season at the varsity level he has completely taken over the goal-scoring responsibilities for the Titans, leading the CPC in goals & assists. He has been at the core of his team’s recent resurgence. – at Clemmons, NC
