“Simply put, Lana was the best player in the state for the second year in a row. What makes her special is that she plays in the midfield, but you can’t mark her because she’ll find the ball by moving out wide or up front or by sitting back or staying central. Her technical ability allows her to beat players one on one at speed with either foot and finish with either foot.”
