Uncommitted Ohioans: Class of 2025 Goalies

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are some talented goalies from Ohio's 2025 class who have yet to make their college commitments. Keep an eye on these prospects!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["35613"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66ad509b2a898"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The standout quality in Webster's game is his patience. He doesn't guess where the ball is going or where his opponent will shoot it. Instead, he reads and reacts to shots, stays composed while on his arc, and uses quick feet and hands. He has fantastic reflexes. Webster also does a nice job of handling the ball after a save, not giving up many rebounds. I really like his positioning in the goal and how light he is on his feet. He earned Second Team All-State in the Spring.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["21912"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66ad509b2a7c6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lanfersiek's positioning enables him to cover a large portion of the goal while maintaining mobility. He takes long steps to defend shots on the off-stick side, effectively utilizes his body against close shots, and has swift hands that punch out to the ball. Additionally, Lanfersiek controls rebounds, going after loose balls and making plays with his feet outside of the goal when needed. He earned Honorable Mention All-State this past spring.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["58165"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66ae54650a89d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I like Gardner's unique style as a goalie. He utilizes quick body movements and handwork to make tough saves. His athleticism is evident in his footwork and reflexes, allowing him to make crucial plays, make saves off-stick, and secure rebounds. Gardner makes decisive decisions when he has the ball in his stick and employs various tactics for clearing the ball. He can make the over-the-shoulder outlet, or slow down and move behind the goal. His lacrosse IQ is impressive, and he has a good feel for the game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["57649"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66ad56b892115"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Palermo is patient before the shot and takes decisive steps on his arc. His size allows him to cover a lot of the net, and his upright stance on a flat arc helps him exploit space and angles. He tracks the ball as it leaves the stick, making saves with vision and nice positioning, often popping the ball up to stop rebounds. I think Palermo has a very solid game. He earned Third Team All-State in the spring.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["21908"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66ad509b2a83d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Old has soft hands and a relaxed demeanor in the goal. He can pass the ball accurately on the run and when throwing at a distance, hitting moving targets in stride. His body follows his hands when defending against shots, often getting his body behind the ball. I like how he doesn't reach for shots, sinking to low ones and making some athletic saves in close. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A few more goalies to keep an eye on this upcoming spring:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='52210' first='Zachary' last='Carrico'], Summit Country Day </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='57652' first='Peter' last='Rose'], Holy Name | Resolute</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='46555' first='Jack' last='Spear'], Pickerington North | 256 Lax</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='35586' first='Ethan' last='Peters'], Lakota West | Velocity Lacrosse</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
