Hopkins scrimmage

I was not down at Homewood this weekend but got some feedback from my brother who was there and I also watched the highlights posted on the Hopkins thread: https://youtu.be/AUCFbBxKXuU?si=SkPXql2bJOZ5YgDK
Top takeaways:
DeLuca has a ton of options at attack and looked like he primarily played John McCurry (1 goal), Freshman Bennett Parmer (2 goals) at X and lefty Powers (2 goals), who also played midfield. He also had Yale transfer Cory Capri at the righty spot on attack when McCurry was out. Overall, the group looked good and were pretty fluid overall switching with inverted middies throughout the game.
First midfield was Jason Kolar (1 goal) who looks fully recovered from last year when he missed all but the first 4 games, Tyler Owings and Ryder Villani. Merrimack transfer Jack Kolbe (1 goal) ran with Hank D'Ambrogi (1 Goal) and Brendan Powers. Lots of lefties. Kolbe looked good on a couple nice shots from outside. The only other goal came from soph Ethan Kraus (man-up) when the Hens sent in back-ups for the entire 4th qtr.
On close defense the Hens were missing two starters Matt Montgomery and Louie Atkinson (who also missed the alumni game last week). Hopefully they are both back in the spring. That is a lot of experience missing. In their place DeLuca started freshman Liam Powell (Loyola Blakefield), Nick Cowan and Patrick Gillin (who I believe will move back to LSM in the spring).
OJ Morris did well at faceoff with Rowen Marsell (LSM) and SSDM Ryder Buell on the wings. Freshman SSDM Nathan Ferguson (Landon) subbed in on defense. OJ also had York transfer Jackson Shields and Owen Black on the wings. Black was playing LSM for the first time that I have seen. Surprised that we didn's see Ohio State transfer Aiden Bodonyi at LSM, but I imagine he must have been part of the walking wounded.
The Hens were outscored 5-1 in the fourth quarter when DeLuca put in freshman Colton Silverstein in goal along with close defense of freshman Lange Gaspar (Calvert Hall), Gino Pisano and freshman Michael Dickinson-Tooman along with sophomore LSM Wells Bergstrom and SSDMs Eli Rippey and freshman Duncan Barnes (Boys Latin).
Hens are a very young team. It'll be interesting to see how they come together this year with so many freshman and sophs expected to contribute. Should be fun.
