<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below is Part II in my preview of prospects from Pennsylvania who I believe are headed for a breakout 2026 high school season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["172408"],"_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-6946ff86f17e5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the best kept secrets in the Keystone State in this talented face off specialist from Western Pennsylvania. Arendosh is a technically sound FOGO with polished footwork who does an incredible job of executing clean pick-n-pops. However, when action at the face off dot gets chaotic, Arendosh's physicality, nose for the ball and non-stop motor enable him hunt down the rock and then secure possession. Arendosh also excels at using his positioning skills to hold off his opponent until he can scoop up the GB. Once the ball is in his stick, Arendosh can push the fast break for goals or assists. In transition, Arendosh has shown that he can execute smooth give-n-goes with his wing attackman for scoring opportunities in close. Arendosh is especially skilled a finishing around the crease via high to low bouncers.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["172409"],"_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":172421,"_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-6946ff86f18b3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The first item that pops about Beck's skill set is his extraordinarily creative finishing skills. He can shoot with either hand and from multiple angles as well execute BTBs, Canadians, OTS, twisters, and any other circus finish known to man. His deep bag of scoring moves makes Beck impossible to stop around the crease. The majority of these scoring opportunities are set up by Beck's crafty off-ball movements. He excels at cutting behind a defender's helmet into open space as well as sweeping from X to the far post or front of the crease. Beck is also a highly accurate shooter from GLE and out on the wing. As a bonus to his offensive skills, Beck's speed and bulldog mentality make him a plus player on the ride.       </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["129819"],"_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-6946ff86f193b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kabatt first caught our attention during the 2025 high school season when he torched Schuylkill Valley for six goals. Then this athletic attackman with a quick burst turned heads again last summer at Naptown. Kabatt's ability to explode past the initial defender from anywhere in the offensive creates serious matchup issues for opponents. Once he finds open space, Kabatt can fire on net or distribute while on the run. His quick release and multi-angle shooting skills render goalies helpless on these perimeter attempts. Kabatt can also blow past his defender, execute a spin move / cut back to avoid the slide and then charge to the cage for a dunk in close. Kabatt is a master at protecting his stick with his body as he streaks through traffic. Additionally, Kabatt does a fantastic job of using a hitch move to set up these attacks on the net.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["165363"],"_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-6946ff86f19ae"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">During the 2025 high school season, Foster was a starter for an Upper Dublin squad that advanced to the PIAA 2A state semifinals. Yet somehow, he is still flying under the radar. We predict that UTR status will end in the spring of 2026. Foster is an athletic and elusive mid who can generate scoring chances in the open field as well as in 6v6 action. Once he gets downhill, Foster can ping corners, score off hip or fire a bouncer past the goalie. Of course, Foster can also draw the defensive slide and then move the ball to the open teammate. His ability to execute a face dodge or simply change direction at full speed is impressive. Foster is an accurate and powerful stepdown shooter too. Plus, this poised and high IQ offensive prospect has shown that he can carry the ball to X and then initiate or feed from there. Foster has flashed the ability to hustle back on defense and play SSDM at a solid level too.  <strong> </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["142024"],"_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-6946ff86f1a2e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Weisel is a long and athletic midfielder with a howitzer for a shot. Weisel can crank shots into the net on the run and via step downs. His ability to fire with both hands is especially impressive. Weisel has also demonstrated that he can dodge from up top or the wing, run through stick chicks and then finish in close with a powerful overhand or well-placed bouncer. If the opposing defense slides early to Weisel, his field vision and polished stick skills enable him to deliver a timely dime to the open teammate. Weisel is a patient offensive midfielder who will not hesitate to re-dodge or carry the ball behind the net until a high percentage scoring opportunity opens up for him or a teammate. This past summer Weisel was extremely impressive at marquee event such as the NLF Invite and New Balance All-American games. We are predicting a monster 2026 high school season is loading for Weisel.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
