Gordon Central High School

We are excited to announce that two of our Lady Warriors made the All-Region 7A D1 soccer teams! 🎉

🌟 Mia Vicente – 1st Team All-Region
Mia’s leadership, consistency, and elite performance all season long set the standard for excellence. Earning 1st Team honors is a true reflection of her hard work, determination, and impact on the field.

🌟 Emma Derrick – 2nd Team All-Region
Emma’s dedication and strong play throughout the season were key to our success. Her effort and competitiveness earned her a well-deserved spot on the 2nd Team.

We are also proud to recognize Aislynn Lowrance, Camila Reyes, Helen Sontay Vicente, and Suzannah Gallagher as Honorable Mention selections—an incredible accomplishment and testament to their hard work and dedication all season long.

Congratulations to these outstanding athletes for representing our program with excellence, determination, and pride. The future is bright for Lady Warriors athletics! 💙 #GCHSLadyWarriors #AllRegion
