Players To Watch

Vol. II

Keep an eye out for the following 11 players for the rest of the season, as their performances have been definitely been eye-catching:

BOYS

Jacob Dorn (Von Steuben)

Dorn has played a large offensive role for Von Steuben as they battle for the top spot in the Chicago Public League this season. Recently, he scored 9 goals in an overtime win over Lane as helped the Panthers achieve a 14-5 record at the midpoint of the season.

Konrad Klosowiak (Glenbrook North)

Klosowiak compliments the team's leading scorer, Tytus Kwiatkowski, and has racked up an impressive total of goals and assists to give the 14-2 Spartans a chance to win the Central Suburban League in 2010.

Mike McPartlin (Prospect)

McPartlin has continuously led the Knights in scoring as the Knights have moved into second place in the MSL East and improved to 7-4 on the season.

Sam Sheahan (Latin)

Sheahan, a two-year starter for the Romans, has stopped multiple penalty shots this year and is the leader of a stingy defense that doesn't allow a lot of goals and will be tough to beat come playoff time this season.

GIRLS

Adriana Hoak (Lyons)

The Lions have plenty of weapons on both ends of the pool, so the fact that Hoak has made a big impact offensively in recent games should make LT that much harder to stop for opponents as the postseason approaches.

Gena Wendt (Fenwick)

The Fenwick junior provided two key goals in the second half to help the Friars pull away from New Trier at their own tournament, and her inclusion in the Fenwick starting lineup could provide a boost to the team as they attempt to make state for the seventh consecutive year.

Erika Elliott/Yessica Buenrostro (Barrington)

Both Elliott and Buenrostro have provided a boost to the Fillies' offense, as they recently helped lead the team to a third-place finish at the Lake County Tournament and won a key game against Schaumburg to get in the mix in the MSL West..

Maya Holst (Homewood-Flossmoor)

Holst dropped in two key goals in H-F's brilliant comeback win over New Trier at the Fenwick Tournament, scoring on outside shots late in the game. If she can continue to give the Vikings' offense a solid scoring option, they should be tough to bear for the rest of the year.

Rosalie Fidanze (Naperville Central)

Fidanze has quietly become a valuable weapon for the Redhawks, fitting into a deep lineup that has started the season with a 13-0 record. Even without a large amount of minutes, she has made the most of her opportunities on the offensive end.

Sarah Fleming (St Ignatius)

Fleming's development in goal for the Wolfpack is one of the reasons they have started the season with a perfect record against Illinois teams. She could play a big role for the St Ignatius' defense once the state playoffs begin.
