WPIAL boys soccer players to watch (2019)

As the high school season is about set to begin, I am very excited to contribute to Pittsburgh Soccer Now’s coverage for the 2019 season.

A great way to start things off will be by compiling a players to watch list for the boys. Ed Rosensteel will follow this up, as the list for the girls will be posted Monday.

Putting together these lists can be a bit daunting, and it’s very easy for some players who deserve recognition to be left off, but at least at the start of the season we can provide those getting ready to follow another season of high school soccer in Western Pennsylvania with the most notable players on our radar.

As the season progresses, we’ll be watching for more as it’s always great to see other players emerge from the shadows.

In breaking down the boys, we were able to provide a look at 15 boys by classification, plus we’ve listed a preseason top XI.
