California high school (Whittier) senior Edson Alvarado has given up his senior year of high school soccer to join the Tijuana Xoloitzcuintles de Caliente. The “Xolos” are a very relevant team in the Mexican Premier League. Despite leading his high school soccer team to a 22-1 season and an appearance in the CIF quarterfinals last year, he will be starting with U-20 Xolos reserve team. Congratulations to Edson Alvarado! We wish him luck as he begins an unforgettable journey into professional soccer.
