Callie Davis, a sophomore at Shady Side Academy, has helped lead the SSA girls soccer team to the WPIAL Class A semifinals. She scored two goals in a first-round win over Apollo-Ridge and added two more in a quarterfinal win over Sewickley Academy.

“Callie makes being good at soccer look pretty effortless,” SSA coach Leah Powers said. “She will receive the ball, magically create space for herself and then send an amazing shot into the upper corner of the net.”
