How these numbers are counted

League figures count only the games that count toward the El Camino table: Article VI §1 (double round robin; division games only count to the division record). GP is counted results out of the 14 scheduled; MAX is the points total if every remaining game were won. A real 0 shows as 0; a number we do not have shows as an em dash. Forfeits count in W-L-T but not in goals.

Elo rating

1771 points from 21 games

Worked out from every completed game between two of the nine leagues’ teams and the Southern Section’s five independents this season, on one scale with every covered team (102 teams), so each opponent’s strength counts as well as each goal margin. It started the season from its 2025-26 rating, which counts for one game. 1500 is an average team and 175 points is about a goal. How it is computed

Season totals for every varsity game, league and non-league, as the coach entered them on MaxPreps, last updated Sun Nov 8. Shooting and more lists only players with at least one of those stats.

Goalkeeping is as entered too, including opponent shots on goal, which can disagree with the saves beside it. Save % is the one figure worked out here: saves divided by saves plus goals against, left out where the entered figures cannot all be right.

Roster

Club teams

What the coach entered on MaxPreps as of Fri Oct 2. Anything nobody published is left blank, never guessed. C marks a captain.

Profile links go to players’ own recruiting pages on NCSA and SportsRecruits, each matched to a player here by name, sport, and school or class year.

A MaxPreps profile link is the player’s own page on MaxPreps, the one this roster comes from, shown only where the player or a parent has claimed it there.

Club lines link to the club’s page on this site, which cites a source for each player it lists. Recall is partial: a player with no club line may still play for a club.

Every school’s recruiting profiles, clubs and commitments are gathered on the recruiting page.
