The Reapers 2027 team went 5-0 and gave up a stingy average of 2.2 goals per game on the way to winning their Sumer Cup division championship. The extraordinary defensive efforts of Palmer were a major reason for the Reapers success last weekend. The fast and athletic Palmer operated at LSM as well as close defense. From both of those positions Palmer harassed ball carriers all over the field. Palmer’s ability to press out on ball carriers without over committing is the result of fundamentally sound technique and polished footwork. College coaches will love the defensive instincts Palmer displayed and that he was a plus player on clears. After his incredible 2026 high school season, Palmer was a 1^st Team All-WPIAL and a 1^st Team 3A All-Section selection.
