LA PUENTE - About the only thing scarier than the Bishop Amat High School girls soccer team's 24-0-1 record and 106-5 goals differential is that the Lancers' leading scorer is just a sophomore, and the next top two scorers are freshmen.
April Juarez, already a standout with the prestigious Irvine Strikers club soccer team, is the super sophomore that's part of a new breed of Lancers who have quickly become one of the best teams in the CIF-Southern Section under third-year coach Ruben Gonzales.
Gonzales, also the women's coach at Cerritos College, arrived at Bishop Amat with a background that included back-to-back community college state championships in 2007 and '08, including a mythical national title during the '08 season.
Before Gonzales arrived, the Lancers finished 8-11-2 in 2006 but have steadily improved each season, going 11-7-8 in 2007, 18-3-4 in 2008, and now the undefeated season that shows no signs it's going to end.
