[704 Sports Network @704SportsNet]

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.

Playoff projections entering Week 11! 👀

[704 Sports Network @704SportsNet]

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.

[704 Sports Network @704SportsNet]

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.

[704 Sports Network @704SportsNet]

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.

[704 Sports Network @704SportsNet]

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.
