Delaware Valley Prospects Who Have Impressed This Fall

Below is a review of prospects from the Delaware Valley who have impressed with their outstanding play on the lacrosse field in recent weeks.    After a breakout freshman season in which Blair racked up 53 points (33 goals & 20 assists) for Souderton, this athletic midfielder has turned heads again during fall ball. Blair is a versatile offensive weapon with speed and filthy stick skills. That combination has enabled him to initiate from everywhere on the field. Still, what has really popped about Blair's game this fall is his accurate and powerful long-range shooting. Whether he is firing on the run or unleashing step downs, Blair has repeatedly found the back of the net. In recent weeks Blair has proved that he can score top shelf, off hip and on low shots. Blair has also flashed the ability to come out of the box, carry the ball to X and then score or feed from behind the net.     Simply stated, Eby has been a dominating man-child this fall. The combination of his imposing physical presence and his elite defensive skills is unique among the freshman class in the Delaware Valley. Eby has consistently disrupted opposing offenses by stripping ball carriers, intercepting passes, taking the body, and snatching up ground balls. College coaches will love the speed and polished footwork has displayed over the last few weeks while tracking offensive players in open space. Eby has also demonstrated that he owns a deep bag of checks, lifts, and pokes that he can use to create turnovers. His ability to carry the ball into the offensive end and fire a missile into the back of the net was impressive as well.       At the Victory Fall Classic this lefty net minder was a brick wall between the pipes. Guarneri is also an ice hockey goalie, and that skill set was apparent on several quick twitch saves he made on rockets from close range. His poise and anticipation skills enabled Guarneri to wait out stick fakes by attackmen around the crease and then stone those scoring opportunities. Because of his hockey training, Guarneri executed flawless drops to cover low shot attempts too. Guarneri's smart decision making, swift releases and accuracy on his clearing passes triggered several fast breaks for his Roughriders squad.              During recent fall ball action, this freshman has displayed all the markings of a future all-league close defender. Harrison has proven that he owns solid instincts, polished footwork, and a highly active stick. That trifecta enabled Harrison to generate turnovers on the perimeter in a variety of ways. His heavy checks and timely poke checks were especially impressive. In close Harrison intercepted passes and used shoulder checks to cause turnovers too. College coaches will also like Harrison's high lacrosse IQ and the way he constantly communicated with teammates. The upside on this athletic and versatile 2029 prospect is intriguing.          This fall Quinlan has proven to be an elite offensive threat. His quick burst, deep bag of moves and extraordinary finishing skills have rendered Quinlan impossible to defend 1v1. Quinlan has blown past or dipped underneath initial defenders and then found open space for long range shots on the run. On other possessions Quinlan has cooked his man, then eluded sliding defenders as he charged to the net for a finish in close. Quinlan has turned heads with his stick maneuvers and change of direction cuts that he executed at full speed. Over the last two-weeks Quinlan has kept goalie's guessing by firing on net from multiple levels. Quinlan has flashed the ability to play at midfield as well as attack.
