The Showcase takes place this Saturday, October 27th at LakePoint Sporting Community in Cartersville, GA. Below are three players to keep an eye on

NOAH McKOUEN | Face-Off | 2019
North Cobb High School - FCA

Noah McKouen is much more than just a FOGO. You’ll find him staying on the offensive end or taking it to the cage after a face. As a faceoff guy, he loves to pinch and pop it to himself and then push transition. Overall a talented athlete - not to mention his performance in the 2017 Southern Showcase earned him a spot in the 2017 Boys Philly Showcase in Downingtown, PA.

MOST UNUSUAL TALENT: I can draw  
BIGGEST PET PEEVE: Chewing with your mouth open
FAVORITE QUOTE: “When you lose, talk little. When you win, talk less.” - Tom Brady
PREGAME RITUAL: Eat a lot of food 
SUPERPOWER: To fly
ANIMAL: A wolf because they’re always hungry  
HASHTAG: #SAFTB 

PADDY-SHEA NARY | GOALIE | 2020
Christ Church Episcopal School - Team 24/7

The athletic South Carolina keeper is not afraid to push transition. His eyes are immediately downfield looking for an outlet after a save. Nary is a fearless player and is quick to come out of the cage to take the ball down the field himself. Between the pipes, he uses his athleticism to his advantage and on any rebounds that drop in front of him.

CAM ETTEN | Attack | 2020
Saint Pope John - Florida Swashbucklers

An honorable mention for the 2017 Manney's Men, Etten returns for the 2017 Southern Showcase. A First Team All-Region and First Team All-District, Cam is a trickster on the field and loves to fake out his defenders. He's mastered both his right and left hand, making him a threat on any side of the attacking end with his fakes. Etten's speed and field sense make him stand out from the crowd - we're excited to see him back on the field this weekend.
