After a strong showing last season, there’s a youth movement under way on the Renton High School girls soccer team.

According to Coach Andrea Anderson, coming off last year’s 7-5-0 record this year’s top returner is sophomore Asia Brisco and Anderson said nine freshman and six sophomores turned out for the team this year.

Along with Brisco, Anderson said players to watch this season are freshman Janae Alcantara Viera and senior Taylor Farris, a basketball standout who will be playing goalie this fall.

“Since we are such a young team, we are excited about the growth for the girls soccer program,” Anderson said in an email. “We have been working hard and are a very upbeat team.”

The Indians’ season begins Tuesday, Sept. 10, against Eastlake at Renton Memorial Stadium.
