WICOMICO SCHOOLS FALL 2026 PLAYERS TO WATCH!
Wicomico County Public Schools is proud to recognize eight outstanding student-athletes as our Fall 2026 Players to Watch.
Selected by their schools with input from athletic directors, administrators, and coaches, these student-athletes represent much more than athletic success. Each has demonstrated a commitment to their team, school, academics, leadership, and the values we want represented throughout WCPS Athletics. At Wicomico High
those students are...
Elijah Carroll
Football | Senior
Elijah Carroll embodies the standards of Wicomico football through his commitment on the field, in the classroom, and throughout the year. A varsity starter since his sophomore season, Elijah has maintained above a 3.0 GPA while competing as a three-sport athlete at Wi-Hi.
Despite the demands of participating in winter and spring sports, Elijah remains committed to football’s offseason program and consistently demonstrates the work ethic expected by his coaches. His ability to balance academics and year-round athletics makes him a strong example for other student-athletes at Wicomico High School.
Luna Tapia-Martinez
Girls Soccer | Senior
Luna Tapia-Martinez has made an impact across nearly every part of the Wicomico High School community. A four-year varsity soccer player and three-year varsity wrestler, Luna serves as a wrestling team captain while maintaining a 4.3 weighted GPA.
Beyond athletics, Luna is Senior Class President, Drum Major of the Wi-Hi Marching Band, a three-year participant in the All-County Musical, and a member of the National Honor Society, Math Honor Society, and Tri-M Music Honor Society. She also earned her CNA license this summer. Luna’s ability to excel academically, athletically, and as a school leader makes her an outstanding representative of Wi-Hi.
Congratulations to Elijah and Luna on being selected as WCPS Fall 2026 Players to Watch.
