Expert Analysis
Dan Arestia | Prep Lacrosse Scout
Greenwich HS, more than most other schools in the FCIAC, loses a ton of talent to CT private schools. With national power Brunswick right down the road, it’s not much of a surprise, but the program produces some excellent players thanks to a robust youth program and its ability to develop players who come to the game late. Critchell is the latter. He didn’t start playing lacrosse until his freshman year, and didn’t start facing off until his sophomore year. In that short time, he’s become a serious weapon for the Cardinals at the faceoff spot. Critchell trains with Noah Rak, a former UMass faceoff specialist who also played professionally, and works with Face-Off Academy, where he has trained with other elite prospects like the Duke-bound Ben McCarthy. Critchell is a three-sport athlete, and despite him being new to lacrosse, he’s not just out there winning on athleticism and hand speed. He has his wings just where he wants them on every draw. He doesn’t just try to pop it forward to himself every time, he’s understanding what’s going on around him and going to where possession can be won. Critchell coming to lacrosse late meant he got on the recruiting radar late, but he’ll be a steal for someone.
