Porter ended the season with a solid 6 goals and an assist. While he is a freshman, don't let his young age fool you. He is a leader on and off the field, a player everyone can connect with. Nahum is spectacular in the midfield. His ability to win the ball back, take people on, and connect passes is exemplary at his age. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["417199"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ae38de9b17aa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Being one of the only freshmen on the Providence Pioneers squad, Oliver represented his talent well. With 5 goals this season in 11 appearances, Oliver is averaging a goal every other game. While only a freshman, Andres is top 4 on his squad in points. Oliver will be a big part of Providence's success over his next 3 seasons with the team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["417200"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ae38de9b181f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Easton is a freshman starting goalie for the Silver Creek Dragons. Taking on such a role as a freshman is quite the feat in itself. Not only did he tackle this challenge, but he did so with excellence. McEwen recorded an impressive 53 saves in the season. This puts his average at 3.5 saves per game. With 3 more years to grow, Easton has a promising future. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["417202"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ae38de9b186f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Logan had an exemplary opening season for the Charlestown Pirates. He led his team well on the front line and was key in goal contributions. Stripe ended the season with 9 goals and 6 assists. These stats put him at the second-most points for the Pirates. With such a big influence as a freshman, the future is bright for Logan.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["417203"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ae38de9b18da"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Shane is another standout freshman for the Silver Creek Dragons. While he plays mostly in the midfield, he is versatile on both ends of the pitch. With 5 goal contributions, Shane had 4 goals and an assist in 12 games. With multiple seasons left to play, Cordell Jr. only has room to grow. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
