<a href="https://preplacrosse.com/2026/04/homegrown-classic-manheim-township-vs-marcellus/" id="https://preplacrosse.com/2026/04/homegrown-classic-manheim-township-vs-marcellus/">After highlighting Manheim Township and Marcellus in part one of our Homegrown Classic series</a>, we now turn to the third game of the day, a matchup between two nationally ranked public-school powers: Radnor (Pa.) and Summit (N.J.). Both teams showed zone looks, but Summit's was tougher to solve—especially with senior goalie [player_tooltip player_id='45465' first='Robbie' last='Kievit'] (Fairfield) anchoring things in the crease and coming up with multiple impressive stops. At the X, senior faceoff specialist Andrew Smallwood (Lynchburg) went roughly 11-for-15 and controlled possession for Summit. Offensively, Summit shared the wealth, getting goals from seven different scorers, with nine of their eleven tallies assisted. Radnor struggled to find a consistent rhythm on offense, but you can see the upside in their core of [player_tooltip player_id='123288' first='Tommy' last='Goldstein'], [player_tooltip player_id='141718' first='Zach' last='French'], and [player_tooltip player_id='123287' first='Finn' last='Petrone'].   Let's take a look at five standouts from Summit's 11–4 win over Radnor:        [player_tooltip player_id='175882' first='Jack' last='Freeman'] had some of the most impressive sequences of the day, finishing with one goal and three assists in Summit's win. Those numbers matched what you see on film: a blend of IQ, deception, and athleticism. His first assist came in transition in the first quarter. He put his head down, drew eyes and sticks down to him, then quickly changed his posture and slipped a feed to Cole Sabol inside for a goal, despite Summit being at a numbers disadvantage.   His second assist showed off more of his athleticism. After a faceoff violation and some messy substitution matchups, Radnor tried to jump him with a double. Freeman used his speed and change of pace to run down the alley, carry through X, and draw a third adjacent defender before finding [player_tooltip player_id='45416' first='James' last='Grainger'] for a step-down. His final assist sparked Summit's fourth-quarter run. He did a great job selling the next-pass look on the perimeter—opening his hips and staring at the adjacent option—only to skip it past two defenders and hit [player_tooltip player_id='175878' first='Quinn' last='Hynes'] on the back pipe for a quick finish. Freeman's lone goal might have been his biggest, from a momentum standpoint. Late in the second quarter, he timed his cut perfectly, sprinted into the middle, put it in his left hand, and bounced one home to send Summit into halftime up 6–3.     By putting up four goals, Quinn Hayes clearly stood out as Summit's top scorer. The Washington and Lee commit was first team All-State and finished with 49 points last year; at this rate, it would not be surprising to see those numbers climb because he can hurt you in so many different ways, which he showed on Saturday against Radnor.   <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DWcVAfCktKT/" id="https://www.instagram.com/p/DWcVAfCktKT/">In the second quarter, the lefty drifted into a gap and hammered a step-down into the upper corner. </a>The fourth quarter was when he really took over, scoring three of Summit's five goals to help put the game away. He started the scoring in the fourth by cutting down to the back pipe and finishing to the far top corner. His third goal came on the extra-man unit and looked a lot like his first: same windup, but this time he slipped it five-hole on the goalie—a great example of the chess game he plays with goalies. He capped his day with 25 seconds left after winning a tough groundball; I loved the way he subtly showed his stick to bait the defender into a trail check, then got his shot off in tight and finished high while the goalie guessed low.     Already looking like one of the top LSMs in the 2028 class, [player_tooltip player_id='169937' first='Cooper' last='Smoragiewicz'] was all over the field for Summit in their win over Radnor. He checks every box you want at that spot: aggressive on-ball, willing to take chances because of his athleticism, and he's got a really clean stick. On the ball, he's a true takeaway defender. He's not afraid to trail a dodger a step to go over the head or knock it loose with a well-timed trail check. Off the wings, he's excellent on groundballs, using his speed and dangles with the pole to come out of piles with possession.   On the other side of the ball, he's a legit offensive weapon. He buried a step-down on Saturday despite Summit being at a numbers disadvantage, and his film backs up that he can score on the run, in tight, and with both hands. Summit can use him in a lot of ways because he is so good with his stick. They can leave him in on offense in transition and special situations where he can handle the ball, but also be available to drop back if they want to kill any transition opportunities for the opponent. Smoragiewicz is absolutely a name college coaches need to have circled heading into this summer.     The only multi-goal scorer for Radnor against Summit was [player_tooltip player_id='141718' first='Zach' last='French'], and both of his tallies came on the man-up unit. French operates really well out of that low right spot, pinching the back pipe and drifting into skip lanes to make himself available. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DWcVoqiAdWa/" id="https://www.instagram.com/p/DWcVoqiAdWa/">In the second quarter, he buried one after catching a skip pass, slipping by with a slick under move, and taking a hard hit on the finish.</a> He added another with under a minute left in the game, catching on the doorstep and selling a hard near-pipe fake before finishing far side.   On Saturday, Summit sat mostly in zone, which limited a lot of what French does best by keeping him in check inside and along the goal line. Even so, his skill set is obvious. French is a phenomenal finisher in tight and has a good step-down in his arsenal. From X, he shows good vision and touch, consistently threading skips through tight windows. Those traits are only going to pop more as the season goes on and Radnor sees more man-to-man looks.     Listed at 6-foot-6, [player_tooltip player_id='175880' first='Ryan' last='Bancone'] is hard to miss, and for a player with that kind of size, he moves really well. He fit seamlessly into Summit's zone against Radnor on Saturday, using his length to shrink passing lanes, close gaps, and get pieces of skip passes that most defenses give up, including at least one big knockdown on a man-down sequence. On the ball, he throws hard, timely checks that put the ball on the deck, and his reach helps erase any minor footwork mistakes. He's physical on the island, too, squaring up and making dodgers pay when he arrives on the slide. The St. Joe's commit has a ton of upside, and he's the kind of long, athletic defenseman you feel good about buying stock in off frame alone.
