Trying to slow down Belmont Hill’s attack has proven to be a tall task so far in 2024. Having watched a lot of them on tape in the last 10 days, I’ve constantly been wildly impressed by the play of DiBattista, an energetic and gritty playmaker who doesn’t seem to let his 5’9, 160-pound frame prevent him from making plays time after time.
In an overtime win at Deerfield, the Lafayette-bound senior popped off for six goals and canned the game-winner. Always keeping his feet moving, he scored several times after simply backpedaling into space to create a scoring opportunity and gave the Big Green defense fits with his off-ball prowess and outside shot. He’s also plenty capable of darting past his man off the dodge, utilizing his burst of speed and change of direction to make defenders miss. In transition and off the ride, DiBattista is as dependable as they come.
A few days later in a home drubbing of Westminster, he had a hat trick and recorded two of his three assists in the first quarter alone to help Belmont Hill build a commanding 8-0 lead en route to a 13-6 victory. The highlight came late in the opening quarter when he backed his man down and nailed a BTB from the hash after pretty ball movement via Preston Evans (a Virginia-bound junior who has also been excellent) and Will Stewart, DiBattista’s longtime 3d New England teammate and the next player I’ll be highlighting.
