<p class="text-gray-700">This lefty, two-way longstick missed almost the entire 2026 high school season and then the summer circuit with a knee injury. Before the injury, Kelleher was considered one of the most athletic and skilled poles in Pennsylvania's Class of 2028. Kelleher will be cleared for a return to action in January, and I am willing to bet he quickly regains his all-star form during spring 2027. This junior pole excels at vacuuming up ground balls and then pushing the transition game. His two-handed stick skills and cutback moves allow Kelleher to carry the ball below the restraining for goals or assists. Defensively, Kelleher does a fantastic job of exploding out of the box, locating the ball, and then stopping the opposing team's transition chance. In settled action, Kelleher is a disruptive force who pushes out on ball carriers. The combination of Kelleher's polished footwork and fundamentally sound technique allows him to stay glued to ball carriers for long stretches. Kelleher will cause turnovers via slaps, lifts, pokes, trail checks, can openers, and the occasional shoulder check. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Simpson is an extraordinarily athletic prospect who also plays football and wrestles. On the lacrosse field, this three-sport athlete is a fleet-footed, agile pole with a physical edge. That list of assets allows Simpson to press far out on ball carriers and disrupt the opposing team's offenses. His sound fundamentals and smooth lateral footwork enable him to stay in front of ball carriers for extended periods. When the opportunity presents itself, Simpson will unleash a powerful slap or crafty lift that causes a turnover. Simpson is also a master at putting the ball on the turf via well-timed trail checks. Closer to the cage, Simpson's slides and doubles are always on point, and he will not hesitate to take the body on those plays. Simpson's active stick and positioning skills make him a ground ball machine. Once he has possession, Simpson's long strides enable him to glide up the field and swiftly push the fast break</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Song is a versatile and rangy pole with a knack for causing turnovers via devastating stick checks. To be honest, Song's ability to deliver a timely, powerful, and clean stick check that puts the ball on the ground is almost a form of art. With his athleticism, high IQ, and refined footwork, Song can run at both LSM and close defense. Combine those assets with Song's ground ball skills and some lucky college program will get a pole who is a plus on the face-off wing, too. In 6v6 action, Song does an incredible job of getting into ball carriers early in their dodge and knocking them off-balance. Off-ball, Song has displayed tremendous instincts for when to leave his man and drop a turnover-causing trail check on the ball carrier. Song has also proven that he can smartly navigate through or over screen action. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Wade is an extremely twitchy, two-handed attackman who college coaches are sleeping on. During his incredible sophomore campaign, Wade recorded 42 goals to go along with 15 assists. This multi-skilled 2028 fired home a season-high six goals in a win over Greater Latrobe. Wade's explosive first step, serious shake, and polished stick skills make him impossible to defend 1v1. Once Wade has cooked the initial defender, he can dash to open space for a 12–15-yard rip. Or Wade can continue his push to the cage, elude the slide defenders, and then finish around the crease. College coaches will love Wade's ability to get dodge from the wings as well as the corners and put pressure on an opposing defense. Wade is the frequent recipient of double teams. When faced with that defensive scheme, Wade does a fantastic job of slipping between defenders or recognizing the double team early and then moving the ball to an open teammate. Wade has demonstrated that he can work the high crease area for catch-and-finish goals too. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Yates is a lefty attackman with the length, a solid frame, quick burst, and filthy stick skills needed to compete at the college level. During the 2026 high school season, Yates netted 23 goals and handed out 28 assists as he helped push Shady Side to capture the WPIAL title and advance to the quarterfinals of the PIAA 3A state tournament. Yates can torch opposing defenses from all three attack spots, but he is especially effective when initiating from the wing. From there, Yates can use his speed and nifty stick maneuvers to sweep across a defense and then crank shots on the run, or dodge towards the middle of the field, execute a face dodge, and then dip underneath his defender for a run to the net. Yates also thrives in the low lefty spot. His ability to receive a pass in traffic and then quickly deposit the ball into the net is impressive. Yates owns a deep bag of fakes and creative finishing skills, so he is impossible to stop at close range. His swift release and shot placement skills make Yates a dangerous catch-and-shoot threat from GLE.</p>
