I remember a little while back we were having a discussion about local talent and our area's relevance in the current college lax scene. So with a little digging on the IL team pages (most of these I knew previously) I decided to put together a solid lineup of the current greater Syracuse area all star team. That means no greater Albany area/niskayuna guys, no Yorktown, and no Western NY Rochester/Buffalo types, strictly people from somewhere where the nearest true city is Syracuse.
Attack:
Griffin Cook- Syracuse (Dewitt)
Devon Buckshot- High Point (Lafayette)
Charlie Bertrand- UVA/Merrimack (Baldwinsville)
Aidan Olmstead - Loyola (Corning)
Middie:
Thomas Bragg - Yale (Caz)
Ryan Archer - Hobart (Dewitt)
Jacob Morin - Army (Auburn)
Cole Willard - Penn St. (Caz)
SSDM:
Bret Barlow - Syracuse (Manlius)
Alex Burgmaster - Albany (Auburn)
FOGO: Nate Garlow - Syracuse (Marcellus)
D/LSM
Marcus Hudgins - D Army (West Genny)
Chase Gedny - LSM Army (Westhill)
Jake Piseno - LSM Albany (Liverpool)
Goalie:
Logan McNany - Maryland (Corning)
There are some notable graduates this year, mainly of course Nick Mellen, but also Tyler Shoults a great middie from Richmond who went to West Genny, and Reece Eddy LSM at BU from Skaneatles.
One basic observation is that there is a good deal more offense than defense. There is some solid depth for both attack and middie but the three guys at D and LSM are the only ones I really could think of or find who really played (granted Hudgins is an AA type talent). McNany was the only goalie I could find. There may also be some local guys that play SSDM somewhere that I am unaware of as that can be hard to find. Bottom line is that this lineup could compete, especially the offense. They are also a young group. I think Bertrand is the only one who would "graduate" from this team next year. I think this goes to show that we are hanging around in terms of relevance and hopefully that the loss in status has plateaued somewhat.
Thoughts?? Am I missing anyone??
