Alyna Bravo, McKay soccer
McKay junior goalkeeper Alyna Bravo played an instrumental role Sept. 27 in helping the Scots to a 0-0 draw against Ridgeview.
“Alana was a dominant presence on the field. … She made multiple invaluable stops,” McKay assistant coach Laura Lopez said. “She frequently stepped outside of the box to make (1-versus-1) saves. Additionally, she used her voice to command her team and keep them motivated.”
