Pennsylvania '28s and '29s Who Impressed During July

Below is a review of Class of 2028 and 2029 prospects form the state of Pennsylvania who impressed with their fantastic play during the July recruiting tournaments.    After a standout freshman season in which he helped push Radnor to the 3A state championship game,Curry continued to impress with his standout play between the pipes in July. His swift reflexes and polished stick skills produced clean saves all month. In fact, Catching and controlling shots was one the best elements to Curry's game. On the rare occasion where a rebound occurred, Curry was quick to pounce on the loose ball or reacted quickly to save a second shot. Curry also flashed the ability to stop low shots with his body or even kick saves. His clear and frequent communication was on display all month too. As a bonus, Curry is a poised and high IQ goalie who makes smart decisions with his outlet / clearing passes.                 With his quick burst ability and elusive moves, in July Hengst darted past or between defenders to create scoring opportunities. Once Hengst finds open space in close, he can ping corners, fire bouncers or execute creative finishes. This month, Hengst proved he is an offensive threat going to his right or left and that he can score / distribute with either hand. Hengst's ability to stop on a dime and then change directions multiple times in the same possession was remarkable. He is comfortable operating from up top, on the wing or at X. When he initiated from behind the cage, Hengst was a legitimate dual threat. At X, Hengst was especially adept at blowing past his man, getting just above GLE, and then firing a shot into the back of the net. His ability to deliver accurate, timely passes from X to cutters was impressive as well. Hengst's offensive firepower was a significant part of Futures run to the NLF National Championships 2029AA division title.           Yes, I know that Lamberson attends high school in New Jersey, but his club team is based in West Chester, Pennsylvania. Thus, I am including him in this article. Lamberson is a rising freshman with tremendous size, elite speed, and an aggressive edge. Combine those assets with the polished stick skills a s well as a high IQ and you get a unique 2029 prospect. In July, Lamberson played like an athletic bull in a China shop. He tortured opposing offensive players with physical body checks as well as powerful, well timed stick checks. When Lamberson separated the ball from his opponent, he was quick to pounce on the GB and then race down field. As he pushed into the offensive end, Lamberson proved he could run past, around or over defenders standing in his path. In transition Lamberson was a threat to fire a missile on cage or distribute to an open teammate. For a 2029 prospect, Lamberson's stick handling skills are remarkably polished. His impressive play at the NLF National Championships was a big reason Futures captured the 2029AA division title.        Proctor is a dynamic multi-sport athlete (also plays football and runs track) with quick hands, next level foot speed and a high IQ. After he has secured the clamp and exploded out of his stance, Proctor's ability to race down field in a flash made him impossible to contain. Once he closed in on the restraining line and drew a defender, Proctor delivered precise dimes to the open teammates. Proctor also showed he owns the size, skill, and solid frame to keep the rock, dodge past or run through defenders and then deposit the ball in the back of the net. On face-offs where things got chaotic at the dot, Proctor used his physicality to mix it up on the ground and then emerged with possession. College coaches will love Proctor's tenacity and non-stop motor.
