EMILY PARKER, CATALINA FOOTHILLS
What she did: Parker, a senior captain, finished off a stellar career at Foothills with another big season, scoring 30 goals and notching 18 assists. The Falcons came within inches of advancing to their sixth straight state championship game but lost 4-3 in penalty kicks in the Division II state semifinals to Scottsdale Notre Dame, the eventual champion. Parker scored a combined four goals and had two assists in Foothills' two postseason victories.
Top performance: Parker did the unthinkable and scored six – yes, six – goals in a 6-0 win at home against Mountain View early in the season. She had two more matches with four goals and another six with two goals.
What's next: Parker, the daughter of former UA and NFL star Glenn Parker, is signed to play for Oklahoma. She'll join her sister, Maddie, in the college ranks, as she plays at New Mexico. Also, Emily will have a familiar face to greet her in Norman: Ironwood Ridge grad Madison Kinzer is a junior defender for the Sooners.
Runner-up: Allison Raniere, Sahuaro. The star senior had a whopping 31 goals and 26 assists for the Cougars, who earned the No. 6 seed in the Division II state tournament. Raniere was a human highlight reel and had nine matches with multiple goals, including five outings with three or more scores.
