Sonoraville starts four seniors headlined by [player_tooltip player_id='876703' first='Ella' last='Kate Walraven'] and Erin Garland.

[player_tooltip player_id='1179144' first='Jerseyrae' last='Loy'] is a sneaky good prospect, a sophomore at Ringgold who can score in bunches.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
