Caitlin Clark is back at it again going viral, only this time it’s for her…high school soccer accolades? Come to find out she’s an absolute BEAST on the field making varsity as a freshman. Oh and she didn’t just make varsity…she dominated.

Source - During her freshman season at Dowling, she scored 26 goals as a freshman in just six games. Clark was the lone first-year to make first-team all-state in 2017. While some outlets report she played in 13, she actually missed about half the season, only suiting up for those six. 

26 goals in 6 games! Now I ran that through a calculator because I don't do numbers too good and that comes out to 4.3 goals a game. High school Caitlin Clark was out here putting up Ronaldo and Messi type numbers for fun in her downtime from basketball.

I can’t verify the skill of the competition, but 26 goals in 6 games is 26 goals in 6 games. I don’t care if it’s against Real Madrid or your local rec team.

Why did she only play in 6 games that season? She had to cut out to go do a little thing called playing for Team USA basketball.

Source - The reason she missed out? She was winning a gold medal for Team USA in the FIBA Under-16 Americas Championship in Buenos Aires, Argentina. 

Caitlin, I know you have a lot on your plate with the whole revolutionizing women’s basketball thing…but we’ve got this little thing called the World Cup coming up in 2027 and it’d be pretty cool if you scored some goals in it. We don’t even need 26. 2 or 3 would do just fine. 

I’m only half joking with that request too. I mean look at this finish from her.

Deion Sanders. Bo Jackson. Caitlin Clark?
