That list of assets makes Guarnaccia a menacing on-ball defender. His ability to stay glued to a ball carrier for an extended period is noteworthy. Guarnaccia's polished footwork and fundamentally sound technique help him stay in front of ball carriers and turn them multiple times. When the opportunity presents itself, Guarnaccia will put the ball on the ground via stick checks, lifts, and pokes. Additionally, Guarnaccia is a master at executing timely trail checks. Once the ball hits the turf, Guarnaccia will vacuum up the GB and then sprint downfield to create a transition opportunity. Guarnaccia has also proved that he is a plus player on the face-off wing.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["201100"],"_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":201129,"_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-6a63625245220"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kilpatrick is a two-year varsity starter who has been flying under the radar in southeastern Pennsylvania. One item that pops about Kilpatrick is his dominating play on the face-off wing. With his quickness, agility, and aggressive stick, Kilpatrick does a phenomenal job of tracking down the ball and then emerging from a crowd with possession. He will then use is speed and impressive stick skills to push the fast break deep into the offensive end. On defense, Kilpatrick excels at pursuing ball carriers on the perimeter. Kilpatrick will separate the ball from his opponent via heavy slap checks, crafty pokes, and can openers. This high-IQ pole is a fantastic team defender too. His slides, double teams and recoveries are always on point. Plus, Kilpatrick does an incredible job of navigating his way through screen action. Kilpatrick's constant communication with his teammates helps keep his defensive unit connected.   </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["175099"],"_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-6a63625245292"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">How this athletic and highly skilled midfielder with a winning pedigree remains available is a complete mystery. This past spring, McCarthy posted a breakout junior season during which he helped push Malvern Prep to the PAISAA state title. During the 2026 high school season, McCarthy used his speed, high IQ, and elusive stick maneuvers to push MP's transition game. On the summer club circuit, McCarthy proved to be a matchup nightmare in 6v6 action too. His ability to get downhill in a flash, elude sliding defenders with shifty moves, and then shoot/distribute on the move was impressive. This summer McCarthy also ripped perimeter sidearms and overhands into the back of the net. Additionally, McCarthy turned heads with his field vision and passing skills. McCarthy's outstanding performances in July helped Team Ten win its division at the Philly Bowl and finish second at the Alliance League Summer Championships.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["201101"],"_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":201130,"_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-6a636252452fe"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nephin is an extraordinarily athletic rising sophomore who also plays football and ice hockey. On the lacrosse field, Nephin is a fleet-footed and versatile offensive prospect with elite stick skills. This lefty can operate at attack as well as midfield. At attack, Nephin excels as a finisher in the low lefty spot. With his quick release and precise aim, Nephin is unstoppable on catch and rip opportunities. He is also a master at receiving a pass around the crease, making a quick move, and then dunking the ball into the net. As a midfielder, Nephin is a tremendous two-way player who thrives in transition. College coaches will love his ability to scoop up and GB and then go coast-to-coast. In 6v6 action, Nephin can get downhill from up top in a hurry and create scoring chances for himself as well as teammates. Nephin is a lethal step-down shooting threat too.       </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["165736"],"_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":201134,"_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-6a6363296eac7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Weiman is a lefty attack with noteworthy size, a quick burst, and extremely polished shooting/passing skills. His ability to score from the wing or GLE is next level. With his power, swift release, and creative shot placement, Weiman excels at catch-and-fire opportunities. Weiman is also a master at executing timely cuts, drifts, and sweeps that produce clean dunks around the crease. When he is looking to initiate from the wing or X, Weiman's deep bag of moves enables him to separate from his defender and then race into open space for a crank. If the defensive slide is on time, Weiman will smartly move the ball to an open teammate. College coaches will also like that Weiman has flashed the ability to operate as a midfielder.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
