<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are some talented, uncommitted goalies from the Buckeye State—be sure to keep these names on your radar.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["21914"],"_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-673913f855ada"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Parini is a consistent player who makes impressive plays and saves look routine. He possesses excellent reactions and reflexes, which, combined with his patience, make him difficult to score on. His athleticism is a key asset in his game. I like his style a lot, he knows where the shooter wants to shoot and he uses a variety of ways to make saves. Parini excels at making off-stick saves and uses techniques like chicken wing saves to make quick reaction plays on close shots. This keeper is one of the best in the state and will be a key contributor for Thomas Worthington this year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["121575"],"_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-673913f855bc3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Levengood remains patient before the shot, standing tall and staring down the shooter. He sees the ball well and has quick hands, making saves whether the shooter is within five yards or outside of twelve with time and room. He can quickly move to the ball and has solid positioning pre-shot. I appreciate how fast Levengood resets himself after facing a shot, allowing him to make another save or play. I also like his ability to jump-start transitions, getting the ball up and out quickly and accurately.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["121590"],"_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-673915d44b292"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Connelly excels in goal by effectively using his body. He anticipates close shots, capitalizing on shooting angles with his swift reactions and body control. He blocks shots and occupies space by moving with his stick instead of reaching for the ball. His style of play really stands out on tape. Connelly's movements are fluid when making saves, and he has soft hands when controlling rebounds. After making a save, he quickly gets his eyes up field to find the outlet pass, jumpstarting transition. He's got a lot of talent and should not go unnoticed.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["57651"],"_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-673913f855b82"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ozar has a strong foundation and solid fundamentals. He punches out to the ball, making contact even if he can't fully catch it. He tracks outside shots well and can intercept passes thrown close to him. I appreciate how he uses his body against challenging shots, whether exploding off a step, stepping up, or falling to save a low shot. Ozar has technique and style, and it stands out in his game. He was named Second Team All-Region this past spring and will be looking to build off that performance.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["121588"],"_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-673a966b8a063"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Vlcek has nice hand-eye coordination and can make some impressive saves, he makes plays under pressure. He controls rebounds both inside and outside the crease and is deceptive in goal, using a wide stance to cover more space. Vlcek understands angles and maintains strong positional play in the net, which I really like. Additionally, he throws accurate outlet passes and communicates well on the field, pointing out where teammates need to be when he can.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["22090"],"_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-673a966b8a0b2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Fury has a smaller frame but takes up a lot of space without sacrificing mobility. He moves fluidly when saving the ball and looks comfortable in his stance. Against low shots, he uses solid technique, trapping the ball while maintaining control of the rebound. Fury understands his arc and spacing well in the goal, which pays off. Also athletic outside of the goal, he can win the race to the end line and is confident with the ball in his stick.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Other notable players:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='40947' first='Trey' last='Wagner'] | Milford | Bearcat National</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='121583' first='Charlie' last='Roesel'] | Lasalle | True Lacrosse</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='121576' first='Will' last='Weikert'] | Loveland | True Lacrosse<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
