This past weekend, Kirkpatrick’s scoring prowess was a major reason Black Bear advanced to their 2029 division championship game. Kirkpatrick is a long and wiry prospect who repeatedly got downhill from up top for quality shots. This rising sophomore also demonstrated that he is a legitimate threat to fire well-placed sidearms and powerful overhands into the net. Still, what may have been most impressive about Kirkpatrick’s skill set was his passing. During his five games at Liberty National, Kirkpatrick did not hesitate to make the smart, extra pass. That unselfish nature combined with field vision and stick skills produced a number of noteworthy assists. Kirkpatrick was especially adept at passing within two-man action sets.
