Girls Soccer: All CIF Released; Amat's April Juarez and coach Ruben Gonzalez earn top honors; Duran, Todd highlight Division 6 honors

Camaj is not outstanding.

Monika,

So what would keep a coach from nominating their entire team? How many nominations do they get and then who votes on which of those get in? Seems to me there is still the question of who makes it in the end. And why is So Cal Soccer, an organization that a school/coach has to pay additional money to belong to in charge of it? Shouldn't it be up to some body within CIF to make these decisions? Im confused.

Monika,

I think you're right that coaches (with AD's signature) nominate players for all-CIF. The forms are available at socalsoccer.org. It's also true that CIF is only recognizing first team all-CIF this year but the SoCal Soccer Coaches Association is recognizing, first, second, and third teams. That's why only first team is listed on the CIF website.

But I don't think it's quite true that how far you get determines how many players make the list. Northview lost in the second round and has a total of 4 players on the lists; San Dimas went to finals and only has 3. Tahquitz lost in quarterfinals and only has 3. Hemet lost in semi-finals and has 4. Maybe the Northview coach nominated more players than the other coaches.

I hope that when Fred makes his all-area selections, especially first team, he takes into consideration how far the teams went in CIF. Teams that go deeper should have more players on the all-area list too.

Congrats to all the girls in Division 6. Ocean View made history for their school by getting to the semi's for the first time. They were also the only school that even challenged the ultimate champion in their run to win Div. 6 (OVHS (1) -v- St. Margaret's (1), St. Margaret's ended up winning in PK's).

As for how people are selected, there are only one or two people you can blame. The coach and/or the school's Athletic Director. They are the ones that nominate players and based on how far you get in CIF determines how many players are added to the list.

I dont believe that "CIF" votes. Isnt it the coaches? Same ones that screwed her the first time with alittle help from their friends?

Stupin Get's Screwed AGAIN!

How the heck does Victoria Camaj from St. Lucy's make 1st Team All CIF and Lauren Stupin from Los Altos does not? Let's compare:

Camaj
Goal = 11
Assists = 7
Team Record = 13-8-2
Team CIF Rank = 8
Playoffs = Lost 2nd Round

Stupin
Goals = 23
Assists = 13
Team Record = 19-4-4
Team CIF Rank = 6
Playoffs = Lost 2nd Round

Now I'm not saying Camaj isn't a good player. She's outstanding from what I've heard (have't seen her play). But there is simply no way this can be explained. I'm sorry but Lauren got screwed once again! Once by the league and now again by CIF.

What I want to know is who does the voting? Is there any mathematical calculation for who gets these honors or is it just someone's opinion of who was best? Teams that went further have less players represented? We know who decides All Area and we hope that he/they take all aspects of these kids and their accomplishments into consideration.

bullfrog1,
Let me tell you it is far below any Lancer to come out with the kiss the ring bs. Our teams carry themselves with much more class then that . We will leave that kind of foolishness to people like you who do not know how to act like a winner. If you are insinuating membership in some club you belong to count us out .

Anonagain, I think he means Todd, Vehawn(Northview)Duran, McKee (San Dimas)Rodriguez (Sierra Vista)highlight Division 6 honors - First Team

Anderson (Northview)Jones (San Dimas)
Lopez (Sierra Vista)- Second Team

Lara (Nogales) Viloria (Northview)
Loera (Sierra Vista) - Third Team

Congratulations to Sierra Vista's Jessica Lopez, the only Freshman to make it on any team!

Congratulations also to Lizbeth Rodriguez and to Jasmine Loera. GO LADY DONS!!!

Fred, where’s the story about our impressive league win over a very good Walnut team?
Our freshman stud Joe Olguin pitched a strong 5 innings striking out six in our 2-1 win yesterday.
Congrats again to the Amat Girls, CIF championship nice club to be in. Lady lancers, a bit of advice; be selective about who you let kneel down and “Kiss the Ring” you now belong to a special club of winners that not many can say or prove they are in. I’m sure the lady lancers, like us win with class and humility always.
Bulldog fever….

You mean Duran, Todd, McKee (first team) highlight division 6 honors, plus Jones (second team).

In choosing all-area first team you've got to give strongest consideration to the girls who played in CIF Finals and regionals. There are only two local teams that did: Amat and San Dimas. To make it so far (and especially to win CIF, as Amat did) says a lot about the players. You should consider several players each from Amat and SDHS for first team all-area honors.

You should also consider all-CIF in your choices. If you look at the lists there are not very many girls from the SGV and the Tribune's coverage area, so it is a rare honor to receive all-CIF honors. These girls should be given strong consideration when you're choosing first team all-area.

Congrats to all the CIF area winners. Special congrats to all the Amat Lady Lancers and Yazmin for being the only sophmore in D3 to make 1st team. You are a complete and dedicated player.

Congrats to all the Bishop Amat CIF winners and Coach Gonzalez. Awesome job Yazmin. Only sophmore to make 1st team. You deserve it. Your a dedicated player and awesome to watch.

Congratulations April you are a great player, also coach gonzalez, but coach stick to coaching the girls that is where your heart seems to be

When will girls & boys soccer ALL LEAGUE and the all area teams be announced?

Congratulatons to all the Lady Lancers who made the all CIF team . Also April on her POY and to Coach Gonzales on COY. Great job.
