We are just one month away from the start of the high school lacrosse season. Here is part two of some sleeper players that could takeover during the high school season. These 2024 and 2025 prospects are coming off of terrific off seasons and they are must watch players.
2025 Will Cawley (Syosset)- The athletic defenseman showed he's gonna be a force in Nassau Class A for the next three years. He showed a little bit of everything in his game. Cawley is a great cover defender but he also is terrific off ball. He has a great sense of when to double and he will come up with important ground balls. As he gets older, watch out for the physicality in his game to really start increasing.
2024 Jack Tully (Chaminade)- Like most sophomores at Chaminade, Tully was on the JV squad. Now as a junior he'll be a huge addition to the varsity team. He is easily one of the most athletiic players on the island. After watching him this fall as a running back, I can promise you that he's bringing incredible speed to this Flyers team. He is a nightmare for short stick defensive midfielders and he'll also impact the game on the face-off wings and clearing the ball.
2025 James Bruno (Hills)- When playing against Bruno, you better know where he is off ball. He is a serious threat to catch and finish from anywhere. He showed his scoring ability during his freshman year and the LILJ Winter League. Bruno has tremendous lacrosse IQ and terrific hands. Expect him to be a great finisher for a Hills team with amazing offensive creators.
2024 Carmelo Pace (Smithtown West)- He'll be one of the top short stick defensive midfielders on Long Island. His quickness and physicality makes him incredibly tough to beat, along with his ability to take the ball away. Pace is effective on clears and he is an asset that instantly makes a defense better. He is going to be an old school two way middle for the Bulls this season and his presence will be felt all over the field.
2025 Drew Walendowski (East Islip)- It'll be Waelndowski taking over in net this spring for East Islip. When watching him this past summer, Redman fans should be thrilled. He was one of the most athletic 2025 goalies I saw. He made some acrobatic saves that helped shift momentum when his team needed it. He went against elite shooters all summer long and you can expect him to make an immediate impact this season.
2024 Maclin Keyser (Bayport-Blue Point)- The Bayport product has "breakout season" written all over him. He had 14 goals as a sophomore but the way he was shooting the ball this summer, that will increase. Keyser has a cannon of a righty shot and he places the ball very well. I expect him to be a terrific catch and shoot player for the Phantoms and don't be surprised when he creates opportunities on his own.
2025 Owen Wuchte (Garden City)- Last season, Wuchte showed that he was a reliable defensive midfielder. He played well on varsity just as a freshman. He wasn't the biggest defensive midfielder, but he had elite toughness. He gets into players hands when they dodge and he'll force them to move the ball. Expect him to be great in the clearing game during his sophomore year
2024 John Flynn (Kings Park)- Over the summer I was amazed with the impact Flynn had with Rebels LC. There were times where he absolutely took over games. He can turn on the jets and zip past defenders down the alley. Flynn has a great shot on the run with either hand. The athletic midfielder was already second on the team in goals as a sophomore, the Fairfield commit will be a leader for Kings Park during his junior year.
