<p><strong>Team Ten 2026</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>With their distinguished resume and extensive list of college commits, Team Ten's appearance in this article should not be a surprise. Simply stated, this roster has no weak spot.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>At attack, the crafty [player_tooltip player_id='40420' first='Parker' last='Smith'] (Army commit) and powerful [player_tooltip player_id='20029' first='Cole' last='Carberry'] (Brown commit) provide a nasty one-two punch. Carberry's size, physicality, and ability to play with his right or left hand make him an extremely difficult match-up. Running with Smith and Carberry was elusive and skilled Marquette commit [player_tooltip player_id='16600' first='Wyatt' last='Kupsey'].</p>

<p>The midfield group was so deep and talented that Team Ten 26s frequently rolled out three lines. Two-way midfielder Dan Reilly (Notre Dame) posted a monster July as he showcased his fantastic transition skills. Bret Lundberg (Duke commit) is another versatile mid who is a plus player at both ends. [player_tooltip player_id='16060' first='Keegan' last='Nash'] (Rutgers commit) and [player_tooltip player_id='45374' first='Jackson' last='Orcutt'] (Georgetown commit) both excelled this month because they are players who combine a physical style of play with a creative scoring touch. Delaware commit George Laskowski flashed as a multi-skilled midfielder too. </p>

<p>The defensive unit for this squad brought a unique blend of size, speed, and nastiness to the field. The LSM group featured speedy, ground ball machine [player_tooltip player_id='45362' first='Anthony' last='Costa'] (Brown commit) as well as two-way threat [player_tooltip player_id='31516' first='Rees' last='Piontek'] (Brown commit). The back end for Team Ten 26's defense was led by Penn State commit [player_tooltip player_id='21002' first='Kevin' last='Piffath'] and Charlie Regan (Navy). Between the pipes was a pair of brick walls in [player_tooltip player_id='19759' first='Thomas' last='Ploszay'] (Villanova commit) and [player_tooltip player_id='129905' first='Jacob' last='Garrity'] (Delaware commit).</p>

<p>Team Ten 26s ended their storied careers by capturing the A.L.L. Summer Championships 2026AA title.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Freedom Red 2028</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>This team is flying under the radar, but in July Freedom Red 2028 proved they are a force to be reckoned with.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Face-off specialists Paul Taraborelli and Connor Moles consistently dominated the competition this month which allowed Freedom to play downhill. That was bad news for opposing defenses because it meant that the ball was quickly moved to one of Freedom's extraordinary attackmen – [player_tooltip player_id='142298' first='Tyler' last='Stukis'], Joey Murphy (lefty) and Griffin Huber. All three of these skilled and elusive prospects found the back of the net in a variety of creative ways. This trio also displayed tremendous chemistry all summer.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Leading the mid-field group was the multi-skilled Charlie Pulliam. This talented mid used his speed and solid frame to run past or through would be defenders on his way to the cage. Running with Pulliam at midfield was 6'5” Galvan Mattice. The combination of Mattice's size and polished stick skills presented serious match-up issues for opponents. [player_tooltip player_id='142308' first='Chase' last='Fletcher'] flashed at midfield too and is a prospect to keep an eye on going forward.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>On the back end, this Freedom roster boasts a slew of LSM and close defense prospects who college coaches need to scout. Kahsai Turpin, Max Teti, and Zach Hudson showed they possess the athleticism, speed, and skills to play at both LSM and close. Luke Johnson and Ben Crawford are two defensemen prospects who proved they can shut down the opposing attack group. Goalie Grady Topf was a nimble presence between the pipes. </p>

<p><strong>Fusion Futures 2029</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Futures 29s came into this summer with a big reputation and in July they lived up to that billing by winning the NLF National Championships.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Goalie Hunter Poet was named the MVP of that NLF event after he was a brick wall in net for the entire tournament. Poet's ability to make clean saves and maintain possession is unique for a 2029 net minder. Operating in front of Poet is a trio of super talented defensive prospects. Ryan Lamberson (Def / LSM) is an athletic bull who displayed impressive stick skills. Two-way pole Tyson Norman frequently caused turnovers and then pushed Futures' transition game. Mick Slachta is a high IQ defender who also provided a physical presence. Versatile pole Colton Groht displayed quick feet and an active stick. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Cale Seaman and [player_tooltip player_id='141844' first='Kane' last='Primanti'] spearheaded futures midfield group. Seaman is a speedy prospect who can create opportunities for himself or teammates. Primanti is a two-way mid who excelled in transition. Other Futures midfielders who impressed during July include Seth Quinlan, Brady Place and Colin Golden.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The attack for this team is an especially lethal group of scorers. In July [player_tooltip player_id='141589' first='Nathan' last='Hengst'] showcased his quick burst ability and elusive moves. Hengst frequently darted past or between defenders to create scoring opportunities. Brady Brevic is a dynamic playmaker who excelled at generating offense while on the run. Lefty Lake Moulder terrorized opposing goalies with his snipes.</p>
