<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below is a review of talented prospects from the Delaware Valley (SEPA; Delaware; Central / South Jersey) who are flying under the radar this spring.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>College coaches need to come out and scout these players immediately.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["173809"],"_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-69c1c54412c66"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Colley is a stock rising 2029 with fast hands and incredible agility. Combine those assets with Colley's ability to track shooters and you get a goalie who makes a high percentage of clean saves. Colley is an aggressive net minder who pops off his line to make saves on the top side. When shooters attempt to score off-hip or low, Colley uses his quick but controlled drops to make saves. He will not hesitate to use any part of his body to keep the ball out of the net. Plus, Colley does a tremendous job of finding loose balls around the crease and aggressively covering those potential second chances. Once the ball is in his stick, Colley delivers smart as well as timely outlet passes. College coaches will love the poise Colley already plays with as a freshman.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["175530"],"_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":175538,"_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-69c1c54412d1f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">In 2025, Ellis was key rotational player for a Springfield squad that won the PIAA 3A state title. The Cougars lost a great deal of offensive firepower from that team to graduation, and this spring Ellis will be on the returners expected to step up and fill that void. In Springfield's season opener, Ellis proved he is ready for that challenge by scoring a goal and handing out an assist. Ellis is a long and athletic midfielder with a fantastic burst. He excels at getting downhill from up top as well as the wing and then shooting / distributing on the run. Ellis has also proven that he can blow past the initial defender, find open space, then slam on the breaks and rip from 15-18 yards out. Additionally, Ellis thrives in transition where his speed and shooting skills make him a threat to go coast to coast for a goal. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["175533"],"_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":175539,"_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-69c1c54412d95"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Morrissey is a quick and shifty offensive prospect with polished stick skills. He excels at shaking his initial defender and then streaking to the cage for a goal. His ability to make multiple cuts on a dime during the same dodge is extraordinary. Morrissey's elusive stick maneuvers enable him to slip through multiple defenders in tight spaces. Once he gets in close, Morrissey's ability to shoot with either hand combined with his creative finishing skills makes him impossible to stop. Morrissey has also displayed a high IQ and excellent field vision. So, when opponents slide early or attempt to double team him, Morrissey will swiftly move the ball to the open teammate. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["166395"],"_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-69c1c54412df2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Roth is a wiry, 6'3” sophomore with a versatile offensive skill set. One item that pops immediately about Roth is his ability to cut / drift / sit down in open space for quick catch and fire goals. His long wingspan and fantastic hand-eye coordination enable Roth to haul in even the most difficult passes and then squeeze off a shot. Roth's quick release and ability to shoot from multiple angles leaves goalies helpless during these scoring opportunities. On the perimeter, Roth's powerful and accurate shot allows him to snipe from the wing. Plus, Roth has proven that he can initiate from X, turn a defender multiple times and then dash around the corner for a dunk. Roth's ability to feed cutters from X is one of his unappreciated skills. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["175531"],"_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":175541,"_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-69c1c54412e60"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This lefty is an athletic, aggressive, and skilled pole who can play LSM or close defense. Weinstock has also shown that is capable of playing a finesse game or providing a physical presence for his defensive unit. When he runs at LSM, Weinstock can pursue ball carriers on the perimeter for long stretches and then cause turnovers with timely lifts, pokes, and overheads. Combine that skill set with the way he vacuums up ground balls and pushes the fast break, and you get a LSM who can dominate the middle third of the field. When he drops to close defense, Weinstock is a heady team defender who can execute timely slides and double teams. In those situations, Weinstock can create a turnover by taking the body or with a heavy stick check. Weinstock is also a poised 1on1 defender with a knack for getting into offensive players early in their dodges. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
