James Gillis was named 1st Team All Long Island as a junior. James scored 42 goals, 19 assists (61 points), & picked up 38 ground balls while causing 12 turnovers on the ride in 2025. He contributed 32 goals & 16 assists (48 points) as a starter in 2024, which is uncommon for a sophomore at Chaminade. Gillis was named a Team Captain for the 2026 Flyers & could potentially hit the 200-point plateau in his final year. He possesses an ideal blend of power & speed, using both to be equally effective. James is extremely athletic & is firmly in the conversation for the #1 overall prospect in his class. Coaches trust him because of his composure in big moments & takeover ability. Gillis has collected multiple MVP honors, delivered championship performances in All-Star settings, & has a documented history of scoring game-winners dating back to his freshman year in 2023. Last spring, he notched 5 goals in a win over Salesianum (DE), another 5 goals in the program’s first win since 2021 against St. Anthony’s in April, & 6 goals in a victory against Delbarton (NJ).
