BROOKLANDVILLE, Md. – The following is a rundown of 10 players that shined the past two days at the Champion Baltimore Summer Kickoff (Session 1) at St. Paul’s School.

1. Austin Holifield, A, Georgetown Prep 2014-15. Holifield has Division I stick work and footwork. The Little Hoyas attackman impressed with his dodging and shooting abilities. Very hard to defend.

2. Tim Golden, M, Georgetown Prep. Golden is a crafty middie with crisp stick work and great footwork. Excellent lacrosse I.Q. Should be someone to watch this summer on the recruiting camp circuit.

3. Ben Higgins, M, Breakers (MD) 2014. Higgins had a monster game against the Georgetown Prep 2014-2015 team, with four goals. Higgins was all over the field. The Gerstell Academy rising senior has Division I talent.

4. Timothy Certeza, M, Greene Turtle (MD) 2016. Certeza wowed the crowd with a laser shot on cage. The Calvert Hall rising sophomore has good skills and looks to be another great find for Bryan Kelly and Co.

5. Kyle Fiedler, A, Breakers (MD) 2014. Fiedler is talented attackman from North Carroll H.S. The rising senior moves well around the goal and distributes the ball well. Fiedler has a decent shot on cage and is left-handed.

6. Benjamin Randall, D, Cincy Royals 2014. Randall moves the ball well up the field on clears. The rising senior makes nice checks and will be aggressive when going after a groundball. Benjamin is not afraid to run the ball up the field to the offensive end.

7. Benson Jernigan, LSM, Atlanta Rage/ Lambert H.S. Jernigan will run on the faceoff unit and is quick to get the groundball. The Lambert rising junior has a sweet canoe check. Jernigan is athletic.

8. Mitchel Snyder, M, Tar Heel Lacrosse club 2016. Snyder has a nice shot on goal when on the run. He had a solid game against MIAA defenders on the Green Turtle team. The Broughton rising sophomore should be someone to watch this summer.

9. Keegan Teluk, Midfield/FO, Lax World (MD) 2014. Teluk in a morning game against Golden Gate was perfect from the faceoff line. The Fallston rising senior has a nice pinch and pull move on the face. Teluk also runs on the midfield line and is not just a FOGO.

10. Jace Buchek, D, Performance Elite (DC). Buchek is an aggressive long-pole out of Albert Einstein H.S. Jace has good technique and gets to ground balls. Someone to watch this summer.
