“The seniors meant a lot to me this year,” said Lyon. “Simon Utrera is easily one of the best goalkeepers in Coral Glades history and should be playing on the pro level in the upcoming years. Felipe Tejada is also one of the best center backs in the county and has division I talent.”

Lyon also raved about the work de la Torre’s pay at midfield as well as Matza, who leads the team with 15 goals. Coral Glades heads into the postseason with a record of 7-4-4 and will await to official bracket for the District Tournament.
