Prospects To Scout During PIAA 3A State Tourney

Below is review of five talented and available prospects who college coaches need to scout during the PIAA 3A state tournament.    Gundel is a two-year varsity starter who, in 2026, posted a breakout junior campaign. With his speed, nose for the ball, and nifty stick skills, this lefty pole is a ground ball machine. Gundel's elite scoop and go skills enable him to frequently lead Spring Ford's transition game. On those fast breaks, Moyer will not hesitate to push the ball deep into the offensive end and then crank one into the net. Defensively, Gundel will hunt ball carriers down and then harass their hands via slaps and lifts until he causes a turnover. Gundel has also proven that he can put the ball on the turf via timely and forceful shoulder checks. College defensive coordinators will enjoy the way Gundel presses out on ball carriers and never gives them a second to breathe. DCs will also love how Gundel explodes out of the box, locates the ball, and then shuts down the opposing team's transition opportunity.     Moyer is an exceptionally talented lefty offensive prospect (A/M) who this spring posted 50 goals to go along with 33 dimes. At attack, Moyer is unstoppable when operating behind the net. From there, Moyer can use a quick burst to blow past his defender and then swiftly turn the corner for a dunk. Or Moyer can take more of a sweeping path across the hash and into the middle of the field before unleashing a shot into the net. This lefty can also ping corners via sidearm rips from the wing. Additionally, Moyer is well-schooled at working the crease area for catch-and-shoot scoring chances. As a midfielder, Moyer does a fantastic job of drifting into open space on the perimeter for clean step-down opportunities. He can also get downhill from up top in a flash and then shoot or distribute on the run.     The first two items that pop about Richardson are his size and active stick. Those assets, combined with Richardson's smooth lateral movements and aggressive approach, create a smothering on-ball defender. Richardson can physically dominate a ball carrier and force him to turn multiple times. But Richardson can play the finesse game too. In those scenarios, Richardson can track a ball carrier for long stretches. Then, when he sees an opening, Richardson will unleash a crafty stick check, lift, or poke that causes a turnover. Of course, with his height and wingspan, a powerful overhead is always an option. Richardson has also shown that he has a deep understanding of how to work within a defensive unit. His frequent communication keeps everyone connected. Plus, Richardson's slides and double teams are always on time.     Smith is a long and physically imposing 200-pound attack prospect who posted a tremendous sophomore season. The trifecta of his size, quick burst, and ability to play with both hands makes Smith extremely difficult to defend 1v1. Smith can bully an opposing defender until he gets to his favorite spots and then drop an overhand hammer. He can also run over the initial defender and then charge through stick checks from sliding poles on his way to the cage for a scoring chance in close. Smith's precise aim and powerful shot enable him to snipe from a long distance. This 2028 prospect is also a master at absorbing double teams and then hitting the open teammate with a dime. College coaches will love the poise Smith plays with, even under the most intense defensive pressure.     Wafalosky is an athletic and fleet-footed prospect who operates as a two-way midfielder. On defense, Wafalosky is a tenacious on-ball presence who uses his physicality to get into ball carriers early in their dodges. Wafalosky will then stop his opponent cold and force him to re-dodge. Or he can execute a timely crowbar that puts the ball on the turf. Wafalosky's nose for the ball and aggressive stick work enable him to pick up the ensuing GBs in traffic. After he has secured possession, Wafalosky can then use his speed and shifty change of direction moves to push the fast break. Once he gets below the restraining line, Wafalosky is a legitimate threat to score. Plus, this skilled SSDM can linger on the field during 6v6 action and be an effective dodger. Wafalosky also excels at receiving an outlet pass and then clearing the ball himself.
