"=""> Perched at the top spot on the Class 4A Division II girls soccer power-points list suits Flagstaff’s Eagles just fine.
"=""> They were No. 1 entering the week of Monday, Jan. 10. They are enjoying themselves and vow to do everything they can to maintain that spot by winning a state title.
"=""> “The season has been building for us,’’ said Flagstaff coach David Meyers. “We have clicked nicely. The girls like each other and they work together well.’’
"=""> Flagstaff was 7-1 in power-points games and 9-3 overall entering the new week.
"=""> Meyers said that playing some top Class 5A teams in the (Mesa) Dobson tournament allowed his team to get better. Flagstaff lost to Chandler Hamilton on a shootout in the championship game.
"=""> The team has a controlled possession approach, and that has served the Eagles well. It has a good mix of seniors and younger players.
