All-City Athletes Named in Soccer

The CIF L.A. City Section recently announced the All-City athletes in soccer for 2019/2020. The announcements are usually made at the end of the winter sports season in February but were delayed until May due to the coronavirus. Unfortunately, several of the coaches for the boys’ soccer teams did not participate in the selection process, including those from Eagle Rock, Franklin, Lincoln, Marshall and Sotomayor, so no boys from those schools were named All-City.

Here are the newest All-City athletes from Northeast L.A.
