Coach: Christina Avery

Key players: Seniors Savannah Reece and Ella Smith, and junior Rachael Remnet

Outlook: Central Kitsap will have to fill some big shoes on the offensive side, losing four all-league selections from last year. However, CK returns three all-league selections, including Reece, Smith and Remnet. The team will have a tough first few games against Peninsula, Bainbridge, North Thurston and Gig Harbor. Afterward, they can move forward to a potential playoff push.

Coach: Travis Rider

Key players: Seniors Tyra Zetty, Sydnee Hogan, Ellie Young, Jenna Clarke, Meagan Theriault, Caitlin Tobin and Elaina Soboleski

Coach: Steve Haggerty

Key players: Seniors Kaitlyn Richins, Autumn Clark, Althea Shane White, and sophomores Adilynn Easton, Kilee Turner, Emma Sagee

Schedule:

• Sept. 13, 6:45 p.m., Bremerton

• Sept. 15, 6:45 p.m., Kingston

Coach: Bill Conley

Key players: Seniors Katherine Kent, Cassidy Jones, Maya Foster, Kailey Strong and Rosamaria Deluna

Outlook: SK lost one goalie, two forwards, two midfielders and three defenders. In addition, this year’s team looks to have just as many seniors as last year. Therefore, the squad is in a win-now mode because the future holds several questions.

Schedule:
