Four Warriors given all-league girls lacrosse honors

The Valley League girls lacrosse coaches selected four Fallbrook High School players for all-league recognition.

One of the Fallbrook players, junior Zahra Hendrix, was placed on the first team. Bella Lopez, who was a sophomore, was named to the second team. The other two Warriors, senior Kaelynn Allerite and junior Cassie Ramirez, were recognized at the honorable mention level.

Hendrix is a midfielder. She led the Warriors with 32 goals and with six assists. "She is very deserving of that award," FHS Coach Debbie Berg said.

Berg added that Hendrix led the team in more than just statistical categories. "She's our leader on the team during the game and during practices," Berg said.

Lopez is also a midfielder. "She's a dynamic player," Berg said. "She really runs the offense well."

Allerite and Ramirez played as defenders. "They change the game for us. They just do it in a defensive way, and their stats aren't kept as well," Berg said.

The Warriors were 3-3 in Valley League competition. Fallbrook's 5-8 overall record includes a loss in the first round of the CIF Division II playoffs.

Allerite was one of five seniors on the 2021 team. "We're pretty young," Berg said.

The 2021 Warriors had 18 girls in the program. Fallbrook was not able to field a junior varsity team this year.

"We're looking forward to a rebuilt team by the spring," Berg said.
