. Hawley often draws the opponent’s lefty, in this case, it was Jeffery. The Notre Dame-bound attackman, a midfielder by trade, was a dodging machine, although the Prep defense stifled him early. He got his first goal of the game in the second quarter when a pick switched his matchup and he was able to run by his man and score. He finished the first half with just one goal but worked out his frustrations in the third quarter. In that period alone, he had three goals, an assist, and caused turnovers on the ride. Jeffery operates at a speed that not many high players have. He faced jeers and heckling from the student section all night and was unbothered, finishing with six goals and two assists. Jeffery, as much as he is capable of dominating on his own, still takes what the defense gives him. Because he draws slides so easily, he is often carrying the ball against an unsettled defense with skip lanes available. This is what happened as time wound down in regulation. Jeffery dodged off an end line restart in the corner to his left, and a slide came as he approached GLE. He fired a skip pass to Nick Miller who had all day to shoot, and buried it with three seconds left to force overtime.
