Tracy High senior Brett Scheckla is the San Joaquin Athletic Association’s Most Valuable Player for 2012.

It’s Scheckla’s first time on the all-league list because she hadn’t played with the Bulldog team prior to her senior year, but had played competitive soccer with club teams.

Tracy coach Nate Perry said that she ended up with more game time than the players.

“She would have been on the varsity team for three or four years,” Perry said. “I rarely took her out of there. She’s one of the better defenders I’ve had.”

The players on the all-league list are selected at the end of the season by SJAA coaches, who selected two other Tracy seniors as most valuable in their positions. Amanda Simonich is the league’s most valuable goalie and Bria Outland is one of two players selected as offensive co-MVP.

Also making the all-league team were senior midfielders Autumn Bolton, Mariah Serrato and Nicole Gasior, senior defenders Rebecca Reinin and Courtney Allen, and sophomore forward Cailie Chayrez.

Tracy went 18-3-2 overall and 8-0-2 in the SJAA to win the league title, the first undefeated record for a girls Bulldog team in 20 years under coach Joe Perry, with his son Nate taking on most of the coaching duties in the last few years. The team got as far as the quarterfinals of the Sac-Joaquin Section Division I playoffs.

Nate Perry added that his team was loaded with scholar-athletes. Eight of the 18 players on the roster and four of the nine all-league players had grade point averages of 4.0 or higher.



Central California Athletic Alliance

Eight Millennium players made the all-Central California Athletic Alliance list following the Falcons’ second consecutive Sac-Joaquin Section Division VII title. Leading the Falcons as first-team players are senior forward and midfielder Salina Elias, sophomore forward and midfielder Ivy Torres and sophomore forward and midfielder Anneliese Bradley.

Second team players include senior Courtney Briggs, juniors Drew Robbins and Daisy Aguayo, and freshman Victoria Garza. Sophomore goal keeper Hailey Rockwell was chosen for an honorable mention.

The Falcons went 14-2-1 for the season and 7-1 and took first place in the CCAA.

Delta Charter’s Emily Quilici made the CCAA first team, and Andrea Aguilar was honorable mention. The Dragons went 0-9-2 for the season, 0-7-1 in the CCAA.

Valley Oak League

All-Valley Oak League first team players from Kimball High include senior forward/midfielder Natalie Lambert, junior fullback and forward Adaurie Dayak and sophomore center midfielder Mireya Magana.

Honorable mentions from Kimball were senior fullback and forward Nikki Alexander, junior fullback Katelyn Little, junior forward/midfielder Amber Lennier and freshman fullback Taylah Nusser.

Kimball’s girls went 14-6-3 for the season and 6-5-3 and fifth place in the Valley Oak League.

Tri-City Athletic League

Three West High seniors made the all-Tri-City Athletic League list. They include forwards and midfielders Lilibeth Torres and Yelda Arghandiwal, and sweeper Abigail Crandall. St. Mary’s dominated the TCAL all-league list, with three seniors named “most valuable for their positions. They include Jamie Flores, attacker, Regan Porteous, midfielder, and Victoria Case, goalie.

West High’s soccer team finished its season at 3-13-1 overall and 3-6-1 in the TCAL.
