<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below is a review of five prospects from Pennsylvania who turned heads over the last few weeks with their impressive play on the field.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["176778"],"_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":176788,"_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-69f289ee4abc0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Over his last three games this speedy and highly skilled lefty has found the back of the net thirteen times. Included in this extraordinary stretch of play was his school record tying 8 goal performance against Kennett. Of late, Cox excelled at operating from X where his quick burst enabled him to lose his initial defender and then turn the corner for creative finishes around the crease. If the on-ball defender managed to stay with Cox as he crossed GLE, Cox executed inside rolls for clean looks. Cox also proved he is a legitimate sniper from the lefty wing spot. His quick release and accurate placement left opposing goalies helpless. As an initiator, Cox displayed quick cut moves and the ability to slip through double teams.   </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["176779"],"_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":176789,"_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-69f289ee4ac56"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the major reasons that Shanahan has raced out to a 10-2 start has been the dominating play of Heinrichs at the face off dot. Across his last four games, Heinrichs won 82% of his face offs. His recent outstanding play was highlighted by a 17-for-19 performance (89%) in a win over Downingtown East. This available 2027 has showcased powerful hands, elite reaction times and polished footwork. That list off assets has enabled Heinrichs to win draws cleanly, explode away from the dot and the sprint into the offensive end to create scoring chances. Heinrichs refined stick skills allowed him to score and drop dimes will on the run. Additionally, Heinrichs proved that can execute a defensive exit, chase down the GB and then secure possession in traffic. College coaches will love that Heinrichs repeatedly valued possession over forced scoring opportunities. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["176780"],"_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":176791,"_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-69f289ee4acf5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">McPartland is an athletic two-way midfielder who has stuffed the stat book at a ridiculous level in recent weeks. He recorded 4 goals and 1 assist in win against Wyoming Seminary; 5 goals and 3 assists during Scranton Prep's victory over Abington Heights; and 4 goals and 3 assists as Prep defeated Bethlehem Freedom. With his elusive moves and open field speed, McPartland excelled in transition. In settled action, McPartland's deep bag of moves and elusive stick maneuvers made him impossible to defend 1v1. As a bonus to his offensive skills, McPartland demonstrated that he can hustle back and operate as a SSDM. At the defensive end, McPartland got into ball carriers early in their dodges and vacuumed up ground balls. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["172508"],"_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-69f289ee4ad4e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">During a recent three game stretch, Orr poured in 13 goals and handed out a slew of assists. Orr's 6 goals and 1 assist effort was the key to Garnet Valley's mid-April upset of powerhouse Radnor. Orr is a fast and versatile prospect who has proved he can run at midfield or attack. His quick burst, serious shake and filthy stick skills allowed him to get downhill, elude sliding defenders and then score or distribute while on the run. Recently Orr has initiated from everywhere in the offensive end, but he has been especially effective when he operated behind the net. From that spot, Orr blew past his defender and then turned the corner for goals in close. Plus, Orr has frequently fed cutting teammates from X. Orr's high IQ and field awareness have been on full display of late too. &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":["176782"],"_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":176792,"_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-69f289ee4adb4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This 2029 prospect has received serious minutes for Strath Haven throughout the 2026 season. Then in April, Thomas took his short stick D-Mid game to another level and really created a buzz for himself. Thomas has displayed impressive speed and agility as well as smooth lateral footwork. Those assets have allowed him to stay glued to opposing ball carriers for extended stretches. When those offensive players made a mistake, Thomas delivered a timely lift, poke or stick check that caused a turnover. Thomas has also created turnovers via crowbars and by taking the body. Once the ball hit the turf, Thomas pounced on it and secured possession. In recent games, his ability to scoop and go has created numerous transition opportunities for Strath Haven. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
