Expert Analysis
Ty Xanders | Prep Lacrosse Scout
Genova fits the mold of an unsung hero at SSDM, but his standout performance against a Don Bosco team rich in offensive talent warrants recognition. On Thursday, the Ironmen’s midfielders had an incredibly difficult time cracking Iona Prep’s D, and Genova and his fellow shorties served as the first line of defense up top. A steal for Hartford, Genova did yeoman’s work in 1v1 situations and was successful in guiding Bosco’s dodgers away from high-percentage areas. He’s got great feet and plays a physical and active brand of lacrosse, jamming midfielders and playing angles exceptionally. My favorite play of his came after Don Bosco won a face-off early in the third quarter: Genova stuck with the play, hunted down DBP’s face-off specialist, and pushed him out of bounds to win possession back. The type of player that every team needs, he’s a grinder who is fun to watch.
