A big reason for Tampa Catholic's run to the state final last year was the stellar play of Castellucci, who came up with big plays and goals throughout the post-season.

NORRIS HARTZOG

TEAM: Gaither YR: Sr.POS: F

With a killer left foot and the ability to shoot from long range, Hartzog will be one of the county's most dangerous scorers. On a team with Wegerle and several other good passers, he will get plenty of chances.

LONNIE HOUSTON

TEAM: KingYR: Sr.POS: F

Houston tried placekicking this year for the playoff-bound Lions. His speed and footwork make him a Division I prospect at striker. He tallied 33 goals last season, tops among county public school players.

CORY STUMP

TEAM: Bloom. YR: Sr. POS: MF/F

The brother of South Florida sweeper Casey Stump, Cory is a versatile player who brings a hard-nosed attitude. He should be a leader on a Bloomingdale team itching to get back to the final four.

JUSTIN TROWBRIDGE

TEAM: JesuitYR: Sr.POS: GK

Trowbridge allowed less than a goal per game last season against top-caliber competition and notched 18 shutouts. He trains with legendary English keeper Kevin Keelan.

BRYCE WEGERLE

TEAM: GaitherYR: Sr.POS: MF

Son of former professional star Steve Wegerle, Bryce was recently named to the U.S. under-18 national team pool. He is a Valderrama-like passer with excellent skills and field vision.
