Expert Analysis
Ty Xanders | Prep Lacrosse Scout
Another young goalie who saw JV action as an eighth grader, Grippo is a tall lefty who plays with poise well beyond his years. His decisiveness in the clearing game stands out; more often than not, he moves the ball up and out within three seconds and rarely forces anything that isn’t there. In net, he’s composed and disciplined, seldom biting on fakes while moving deftly from pipe to pipe. He does a strong job of staying square to the ball and excels at getting to shots on his off-side. If there’s a nit to pick, I’d like to see quieter hands before the shot—like many young goalies, he’ll twirl his stick—but that’s a habit that can be coached out as he continues to mature. With the season around the corner, I would expect Grippo to contend to start for three or four years.
