Wheatley is a bona fide warrior whose relentless competitive edge and playmaking ability directly contributed to the win, especially in the middle of the field during that pivotal second half. For one, he made an unreal play on the sideline in a 2v1 groundball situation to preserve possession for PVI when they sorely needed the ball in the middle of the third quarter. In the fourth, he had a huge groundball and cleared after an SJC middie lost the ball. Whether he was lined up on the wing or at the face-off stripe himself (as he’s often been all season), Wheatley’s pressure helped win back possession after the Cadets won the initial face-off. He’s a special player who looks poised to make a big impact at the next level, as will current and future CNU teammate Braiden Galaida Braiden Galaida 5'11" | 180 lbs | M/A | Right Hand St. Paul VI Catholic | 2026 VA , who posted two goals in the third quarter.
