One of his top highlights this season came when he found the back of the net against Bishop Gorman.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Selected to the Nevada HS Lacrosse All-Star game <br></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["126566"],"_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-6a19d6301776a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Two-time state champion goalie [player_tooltip player_id='177692' first='Jose' last='Aragon'] earned Second Team All-LVLA honors after another strong season in net for the Panthers. He came into every game prepared and ready to compete, maintaining a next-play mentality regardless of the situation. Aragon also did a solid job of surveying the field after making saves and helping initiate the clear. Overall, he provided a l consistent presence between the pipes throughout the season.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Selected to the Nevada HS Lacrosse All-Star game </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["177907"],"_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-6a19d8e5bf4ba"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='177907' first='Ryland' last='Peterson'] was a standout for the Pirates throughout the season thanks to his stout play in goal. He shows a real willingness to stand his ground and has the quick reflexes to make highlight-reel saves when called upon. He is also one of the stronger communicators in the cage in Las Vegas, consistently directing traffic and helping keep his defense organized. Peterson's leadership and steady presence were key assets for his squad. He will be running with Westward and GWB Pacific this summer, making him a prospect worth checking out for college coaches looking to evaluate talent on the recruiting circuit.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Selected to the Nevada HS Lacrosse All-Star game </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["125267"],"_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-6a19dafe137f5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='125267' first='Hudson' last='Pavicich'] had a big year for the Faith Lutheran Crusaders. He became a true Swiss Army knife for the team, contributing on both sides of the ball whenever called upon. His instincts and speed allowed him to get downhill in transition and create fast-break opportunities, several of which he converted into goals. Pavicich also made an impact on the defensive end, throwing quality checks and using his lateral quickness to keep opposing players in front of him.

Once he secured the ball, he showed good awareness and did a nice job protecting his stick while navigating through traffic. Defensively, he was physical, often forcing his matchup to less favorable shooting angles and consistently contesting shots.

Doing a solid job of getting attackers off their line. Robbins moved the ball in a timely manner during clears as well. <br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Selected to the Nevada HS Lacrosse All-Star Game </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["176507"],"_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-6a1b96c014ab5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='176507' first='Beau' last='LaVoie'] handled business in his final year with the Bishop Gorman Gaels.
