That performance was just the latest impressive game here in 2026 from this agile goalie with fast hands and an active stick. That trifecta of assets combined with his tracking skills has enabled Crist to repeatedly make clean saves on perimeter shots. This season Crist has also displayed great patience as well as quick reactions while stopping shots in close. Additionally, Crist has demonstrated that he will not hesitate to throw his body in front of a shot to make a save. Crist's athleticism and hustle have produced a host of winning chases as well as some impressive solo clears this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["177109"],"_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":177115,"_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-69ff9af99ad1a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Crossed is a highly skilled and versatile offensive prospect who is posting a breakout junior season. This past week he notched two goals against powerhouse Radnor. Earlier this season Crossed registered a hat trick against reigning 3A state champion Springfield. Crossed's length, athleticism, and explosive first step enabled him to initiate as a midfielder or at attack. From either position, Crossed has excelled at cooking the initial defender and then shooting or distributing on the run. During his junior campaign, Crossed has also proved that he is a powerful and highly accurate perimeter shooter. This season Crossed has often caught defenders by surprise with his crafty off ball movements that have produced clean looks around the crease. Crossed has flashed the ability to sprint back and play some SSDM too.     </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["177110"],"_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":177117,"_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-69ff9af99ad78"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dwyer is a highly athletic and polished defensive prospect with an imposing physical presence. His combination of speed, size, footwork, and an active stick has allowed him to consistently disrupt opposing offenses. This season Dwyer has displayed a habit of exploding out of the box, chasing down ball carriers, and then shutting down opponent's fast-break opportunities. In settled defensive situations, Dwyer has applied relentless pressure on the perimeter. He has repeatedly displayed a willingness to pursue the ball out to the midfield line. When the opportunity finally presented itself, Dwyer delivered well-timed stick checks, pokes, and lifts that forced turnovers. Once the ball hit the turf, Dwyer's elite scoop-and-go abilities swiftly turned defensive stops into transition offense for his team. This season Dwyer has also proved that he owns the speed and stick skills to carry the ball deep into the offensive zone.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["141718"],"_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-69ff9af99adc3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Heading into the final games of Radnor's regular season, French was already posting an outstanding season. Then he went out and closed the 2026 schedule in style with a barrage of goals. This physical and skilled hybrid midfielder / attack poured in six goals in win over Haverford and then three goals in Radnor's defeat of St. Joe's Prep. In addition to scoring goals, French has worked as a Swiss Army Knife for the Raptors. He has quarterbacked Radnor's designed plays, dropped dimes on teammates and been a plus player on the ride. At times, French has even helped clear the ball for Radnor's defense. College coaches will love the way French has run through contact on the fast break and in settled action. They will obsess over the was French has scored and distributed with both hands too.    </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["172759"],"_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-69ff9af99ae0c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Placotaris is an extraordinarily talented offensive prospect who is a major reason Easton's record currently stands at 17-1. In 2026, this fast and agile midfielder with filthy stick skills has already posted 55 goals and 30 assists. This season Placotaris has excelled in transition where his incredible separation speed has enabled him to go coast to coast for goals and assists. His ability to absorb significant contact and maintain possession has been another reason for his success on the fast break. In 6v6 action, Placotaris has a displayed a quick first step and smooth change of direction moves on his dodges from up top and the wing. His ability to fire absolute missiles while on the move has been impressive too. Placotaris' field vision and unselfish nature have also produced creative dimes on those charges to the net. This high IQ prospect has also used well timed off ball movements to produce catch and finish goals around the crease.      </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
