James Devine for clears and defense, and one of the Sorillo brothers for defense, Can't remember if it was scott or Nick? he had 4 attack, used Zack and Ethan Fox on the wings as an LSM, although both played close D also; Gauteri, Difabio, McDonald, Coppalechia as poles. It is all a question of fitting into the style he want to play. And a year later, I still haven't figured that out. Don't expect an uptempo offense is all I can say.

Mike B will make it easy and then the second goalie should be Chris Moffa out of Fordham who was an alternate last year. Haggarty is a good goalie but not quite as good as Mike B and Moffa so i see him being an alternate or possibly not making the team in which case he would end up like the LP goalie, being good but not quite elite.

Seems to really hit his stride this year. Along with Mike B, seems to be the front runner for Emp's. Have to see Rix without his Rye defense in front of him, and I am sure there will be a dark horse or two. Been watching Luke for 2 years, Since Westrock in summer,2006.

Why limit such a great player to one side of the field when you have other kids who can finish. HV could have a real nice team this Summer.

He DID shut Bocklet down..way down and same with the rest of all the other attack man he has gone against. NOONE can beat him and noone should even try because they will get stomped on. As long as the offense and defense keeps performing as well as they have Rye will definitely make it far. I think Donald Keough of Rye is going to lead his team to states.
