Ark City’s Christian Cabrera – Soccer Spotlight – Presented by Visit Salina

By Blake Chadwick

Ark City’s Christian Cabrera is a two-time first team all-league player who has been the heart and soul of the Bulldogs since he was named a team captain as a freshman.

“(Christian) is an explosive two-footed attacking midfield player with excellent close control and dynamic dribbling ability,” head coach Andrew Stone said. (He) is unpredictable and dangerous in the final third and has shown impressive season-by-season technical, physical, and soccer IQ development.”

The senior is a center mid, who is extremely creative and a guy who has a lot of experience under his belt and has been described as a generational type of player for the Bulldogs.

“It means a lot to me to be called a generational player, but I’m just happy to help our soccer team progress,” Cabrera said. “To be called first is a big accomplishment for me.”

Cabrera finished last season with six goals and ten assists, bringing his total for his career to 14 goals and 16 assists.

But the senior isn’t satisfied just yet.

“My personal goals are to have at least 12 goals and 12 assists and get AVCTL DII All-League 1st team for the third year in a row,” Cabrera said. “My team goals are to have an even win-loss ratio at least and to beat some of the bigger Wichita Schools, as we are one of the smallest 5A schools.”
