Players from the Northeast showing great ability

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Three players from the Northeast, a pair from New Jersey and one from New Hampshire, are proving to have great ability. The three are in different grades, as we have a senior, junior and a sophomore, but all three are attacking players who like to push forward and make an impact. All of them are athletic and technical and can impact a game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Olivia Blackadar, Forward/Midfielder, Newmarket, Class of 2025</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Blackadar is a junior from New Hampshire, who goes to high school at Newmarket and plays club with Seacoast United, playing on the 2007 GA team. She is a striker who can also play in the midfield. Blackadar is known for keeping things simple, but being effective. She is very creative and very technical. She works hard and leads by example. She is very competitive, and because she wants to beat defenders as much as she does, can be unpredictable in her methods. She's strong and hard to knock off the ball as well. Coaches find Blackadar to be very coachable. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='46257' first='Sadie' last='Shapiro'], Forward, Scotch-Plains Fanwood, Class of 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Shapiro is out of New Jersey, playing her club for the Bergen-based Cedar Starts Academy, playing for the 2008 GA team.
