He has a remarkable ability to score and is capable of taking a shot at a moment's notice, you can't take your eyes off of him. He understands field positioning and excels at moving off-ball, always ready to receive a pass or set a pick. One of his greatest strengths is how he continuously moves with the ball in his stick; he powers through weak checks and takes advantage of available space. He runs through contact and is an elusive, shifty dodger. He is considered one of the best players in the Class of '26 in Ohio.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["38168"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":123587,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-673ab2daaacb9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lupinski possesses a fantastic outside shot and has good size and speed, he is a defensive nightmare. This midfielder is a downhill dodger who thrives on contact and is willing to challenge anyone he faces. With a quick release that has power, he excels at exploiting mismatches and can shoot accurately around his opponents. Lupinski carries himself confidently on the field and has a knack for making big plays no matter where he is. His movements are deliberate and strategic, his overall game is well-suited for the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["120513"],"_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-673ab2daaacf8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Grendow is physical and will challenge whoever he matches up with. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["123388"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":123590,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-675bc4a8b1d68"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lopez is an impressive athlete who can create breaks at the drop of a hat. The stick looks light in his hands, his dodging is smooth, and he keeps his eyes up. His passes can thread the needle from a distance, and he effectively dictates where he wants to go with the ball. His playing style is entertaining to watch; he can beat opponents in various ways and showcases a strong lacrosse IQ to complement his athleticism. Lopez is versatile and knows how to exploit mismatches effectively.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["123386"],"_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-675bc4a8b1cda"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Byrnes is proficient at shooting and passing the ball while on the run. If you give him space on the outside, he can make you pay. He uses different release points when he shoots, making it harder for the goalie to predict where the ball will go. He understands his shooting range and takes advantage of poor defensive positioning. Byrnes also works hard when playing inside; he keeps his feet moving and positions himself to receive the ball or draw a defender. His shot selection and decision-making stand-out, and his box lacrosse skills show in his game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["122399"],"_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-673eb454488a1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Adelman has strong field vision and effectively distributes the ball. He is skilled at recognizing open opportunities on the field and knows how to take advantage of them. His ability to use fakes to gain extra ground stands out; he doesn't simply accept what the defense gives him. He runs through contact while keeping his stick protected and looks comfortable under pressure. During his sophomore season, Adelman scored 54 points and earned Second Team All-Region honors.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["123385"],"_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-6758ea45e6fad"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Zananiri is a hardworking two-way midfielder that brings energy to the game. He can either distribute the ball or take it himself, using both his right and left hands. He is smart with the ball, if he doesn't like what he sees he will slow down the play instead of forcing it. Zananiri is a competitive team player who you can trust in crunch time. I am excited to see the growth in his game this upcoming season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Other Notable Players:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='120514' first='Alan' last='Grendow'] | St. Edward | Spiders LC</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='123389' first='Carter' last='Haun'] | Milford | True Lacrosse</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='123390' first='Jake' last='Welcome'] | Milford | True Lacrosse</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='123387' first='Sam' last='Mehelic'] | Hudson | Spiders LC</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='123598' first='Kyler' last='Boyle'] | Hudson | Resolute</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='123395' first='Greyson' last='Paz'] | New Albany | Resolute</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='123396' first='Noah' last='Roche'] | Hilliard Davidson | Resolute</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='123398' first='Ryan' last='Swanson'] | Centerville | Resolute</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='37818' first='Kaleb' last='Krasnow'] | Bexley </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='123393' first='Nolan' last='Severit'] | Bellbrook | True lacrosse</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
