FOUR & MORE: Best Inland Area Footballers
1. Chris Sanders, Midfielder/Forward (Murrieta Valley) — Creating quality attacks and effective chances is what he does for the Nighthawks, widely considered on of the to Inland Area teams this season. As good a distributer as he is a scorer, Sanders netted 16 last season as he led the team to a CIF-Southern Section quarterfinal.
2. Charles Izydorek, Forward (Redlands Arrowhead Christian) — A goal-scorer in the purest sense, Izydonek has tallied more than 75 times in his prep career. That includes the 33 he netted last year, and the goal he scored in the Eagles’ 2010-’11 season opener.
3. Kyle Genevay, Central Defense (Murrieta Valley) — A rock in the back, Genevay marks the opposing team’s best player and sweeps away offensive chances 9.5 times out of 10. His play will be fundemental in assessing Murrieta Valley this season.
4. Enrique Salazar, Forward (San Bernardino Cajon) — A sleek runner with any number of on-the-ball tricks, Salazar is lethel from anywhere in his attacking-third. Expect glimpes of greatness and loads of inconsistancy as he enters just his second varsity season.
AND MORE: Ivan Hernandez, Goalkeeper (Riverside Arlington) — What he loses in size and length, Hernandez makes up for in drive and determination. To wit: He was the Inland Valley League Defensive MVP as a freshman, and led the Lions to a playoff victory.
