HS: TeamSnap Girls All-America update

by Sheldon Shealer

March 24, 2017

More than 750 fall-, winter- and spring-playing high school girls players made the cut for the Fall TeamSnap All-America Watch List, Winter TeamSnap All-America Watch List and Spring TeamSnap All-America Watch List.

Players, through coaches recommendations and TopDrawerSoccer staff observations, will be added each week to the list as performances warrant. The only players that will be removed from the list will be athletes who are no longer playing high school soccer or sustain a season-ending injury that will take them out of all-state consideration.

The TeamSnap All-America teams are not announced until the end of the school year.

Complete list of TeamSnap All-America Update articles.

Here are recent performances and updates from players on the TeamSnap All-America Watch Lists:

GIRLS

* Mallory Broady, Millard West (Neb.), Sr.: On a team full of key returning players, it is Broady who has led the offense for Millard West. She scored six goals in the team's first three matches en route to a 3-0 start and a SIMA FAB 50 No. 12 ranking.

* Michayla Herr, Barrington (Ill.), Jr.: Herr, a Wisconsin commit, scored the lone goal as Barrington edged Neuqua Valley 1-0 in a clash between Illinois powers and national Top 25-ranked teams.

* Paige Howard, Harvard-Westlake (Calif.), Sr.: The Penn commit was featured in this space early in the season, but is back again after earning MVP honors at the Ventura County-L.A. County senior all-star game. Howard had a goal and two assists, all in the final 20 minutes to rally L.A. to a 3-2 victory.

* Dayana Martin and Kendra Cashion, Boca Raton (Fla.): The junior scoring duo shared the All-Palm Beach Player of the Year honors, and rightly so. Martin, a transfer from Texas, was coaxed into high school soccer and delivered 40 goals and 13 assists. Cashion, already a Boca Raton standout, scored 33 goals with 23 assists. They combined for 73 of the team's 126 goals from a 25-1 squad that finished as the state runners-up. Scary news for opponents -- both are juniors.

* Grace Wagner, Green Hope (N.C.), Jr: Green Hope is just a coupe years and about three head coaches removed from being the SIMA FAB 50 national No. 1 team. It's looking promising that Green Hope could be in the mix again this year as Clemson commit Wagner has paced the offense with eight goals during a 9-0 start.

NOTE: The fall All-America watch list includes only players from high school teams that compete during the fall season. The Winter All-America watch list was released in November and includes players from the seven winter-playing states, and the Spring All-America watch was released in February.
