Westminster Christian's AnnaLi Weekley advances the ball in a win over Priceville at home on April 22, 2024. Weekley will play college soccer at Covenant College in Lookout Mountain, Ga., after earning two straight MVP awards in state championship wins for the Wildcats. Westminster Christian’s AnnaLi Weekley started her soccer journey as small child watching her older sister, MaiLin, kick the ball around.
AnnaLi, two-time Class 4A State Tournament MVP, scored her first goal for Westminster when she was only in the seventh grade in a tournament match against American Christian. She now holds the school record with 148 career goals and ranks 12th all-time in the Alabama High School Athletic Association. She is also eighth all-time in assists with 70.
Weekley’s road was not always a smooth one, having injured both knees during her sophomore season. Through much hard work and determination, she made a full recovery to lead the Wildcat’s to their two state championships.“AnnaLi is a coach’s dream and is such an absolute game changer on the field,” said Chapman. “She can take over a game as she has done multiple times the last two years with her skillset and soccer IQ, which is unmatched.
“A few years ago, I had no intention of playing in college and had my mind set on going to Alabama like the rest of my family,” Weekley said. “I never tried to be recruited and didn’t want to be until last year when we won our first state championship. Westminster soccer brought back my joy for the game, and I realized I would miss playing way too much to quit.
