Hynes didn’t take many possessions off, with Summit needing quick offense throughout the game, staying aggressive and ready to make a play for his team and contributing on two out of the three goals scored on the day. The Washington & Lee commit showed his chemistry with James Grainger James Grainger 6'1" | 175 lbs | A/M | Right Hand Summit | 2026 NJ in transition for his only goal, with good ball placement and a quick release to surprise the defense from range. He is a very quick and crafty dodger who looks to initiate offense, which is how he connected with Fowler late in the 3rd quarter for a tally. The BBL product beat his man from the top, and when the slide came, he turned back to the middle to find his teammate wide open for a high-percentage step-down look. Hynes was the hero in the OT win vs. Seton Hall Prep, and his clutch gene is hopefully going to help the Hilltoppers in the county tournament and beyond.

By putting up four goals, Quinn Hayes clearly stood out as Summit’s top scorer. The Washington and Lee commit was first team All-State and finished with 49 points last year; at this rate, it would not be surprising to see those numbers climb because he can hurt you in so many different ways, which he showed on Saturday against Radnor.

In the second quarter, the lefty drifted into a gap and hammered a step-down into the upper corner. The fourth quarter was when he really took over, scoring three of Summit’s five goals to help put the game away. He started the scoring in the fourth by cutting down to the back pipe and finishing to the far top corner. His third goal came on the extra-man unit and looked a lot like his first: same windup, but this time he slipped it five-hole on the goalie—a great example of the chess game he plays with goalies. He capped his day with 25 seconds left after winning a tough groundball; I loved the way he subtly showed his stick to bait the defender into a trail check, then got his shot off in tight and finished high while the goalie guessed low.
