<p>Defensemen and goalies across Nevada have been making their presence known so far this season with strong play on the defensive end. Here are a few who have caught my attention lately, and I'll be highlighting more standouts in another article soon.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='174383' first='Mason' last='Wingard'] is an underclassman goalie who has been stepping up for his team lately. He has a strong sense of where he is in the cage and has good lateral movement, allowing him to fend off close-range shots. He also utilizes his reaction skills to stop the high heat. Once he makes a save, he delivers accurate outlet passes and stays patient if needed. Look for him to continue making noise the rest of the year.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Chase Garcia was impressive in Faith Lutheran's win over St. Francis (CA) last Friday. I was able to catch the game on NFHS, and Garcia had multiple standout moments, including causing a couple of turnovers and delivering a big pop to his matchup. His IQ and scrappiness help him apply consistent pressure, and he scoops up ground balls when they're available.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='175330' first='Pierce' last='Isani'] played the first half for the Crusaders in their matchup against St. Francis. He was able to limit them to just 4 goals and made a number of difficult saves.

<p class="text-gray-700">Danny Richards has been throwing some very well-timed checks so far this season. The senior stays ready for any deceptive maneuvers his matchup attempts to pull off and will promptly dislodge the ball with force. It's fun to watch and gives his team momentum as well. Expect him to keep wreaking havoc on the defensive end for the Panthers.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Carter Jost is another Palo Verde player who has caught my attention. The agile 2027 utilizes his quick feet and fast hands to keep his man in front of him, and he'll take the ball away if his man isn't careful. Jost's speed is also an asset, and he can leave opponents in the dust. Overall, he's playing well, and he's sure to make more plays the rest of the way.</p>
