Skilled with both feet, he delivers excellent passes, coupled with his exceptional awareness and touch. Seemingly gliding through players, his close ball control enables him to weave in and out of players quickly. Not to mention his tall stature, doing well to stay on his feet and carry the ball up the field. This also makes him aerially very dangerous, getting above everyone else and nodding the ball past the keeper with speed and accuracy. Schnurr is a superb technical and tactical player; great on and off the ball, and supplying goals and assists.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Kenneth Rivera","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"101","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Discovery High School","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67ff342d8fd18"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Your classic, typical no-nonsense defender, Rivera would put his body on the line. Predominately a wing-back, he is more of your traditional type, not bombing up the field or inverting into the midfield, he will hold the line. He is strong, stout, physical, and aggressive, using his body well to win the ball off defenders or to get in the way, and on the ball, to hold players off and almost bully his way through. Despite all this, Rivera is still tidy and good with the ball at his feet, keeping the ball close, controls and brings down the ball well, playing good hard passes to feet, and flicking the odd ball over an opposition player. Rivera is a nuisance for any opposition attacker, solid in the back and working hard for his side. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Liam Mak","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"100","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Pope High School","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"NASA Tophat","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67ff342d8fc1f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A modern keeper, Mak is calm on the ball, explosive, and an excellent reader of the game. Not one to shy away from receiving the ball, he does a very good job of controlling it and finding a pass; never rushing, taking his time to asses his options and find the best one. Mak also does an excellent of coming off his line, timing it well and knowing when its best to come off. Quick on his feet, he does very well get down, leap to the side or in the air, or make a save with his feet. His cat-like reflexes and reactions allow him make goal-line saves and clearances, and make saves at shots close to him. Mak is a strong, aggressive, and good ball playing goal-keeper; what every modern goal-keeper possess and is looking for. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Manza Masamuna","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"102","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Discovery High School","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67ff342d8fd91"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Manza is a very fast, direct, and dynamic player. He is always looking to receive the ball and drive towards the goal. Light on his feet, along with a good first touch, allows him to swivel and run past players. Add a little bit of flashy skill moves and Masamuna is one dangerous player. Able to play as a forward as well, he not short of chances, often creating them for himself or his team. If it means dropping deep to receive the ball or make runs through the defense, he is always sniffing for a chance at scoring. He also does very at just holding the play, waiting options if there are none and playing a good pass out to the wings or even a pass back to recycle the ball and keep possession. Although having an aggressive style of play, Masamuna is a great team player, contributing many goals and assists. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='321461' first='Noah' last='Rogers']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"103","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Pope High School","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"NASA Tophat","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67ff35a034adc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rogers is a pacy and technical forward. A right-winger, he is always making runs up and down the side, looking to go towards goal or help out on defense. When on the ball, he likes to take players on the 1v1, either beating them with pace or with a skill move. He is agile, making it hard for opposition players to steal the ball off him. Possessing good vision, awareness, and distribution skills, he switches the field very well and plays great through balls for his teammates to run onto. Rogers is a great well-rounded player, wether its driving towards goal or keeping it simple and just moving the ball around. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
