Recap of the Central PA Showcase – Top Players that Impressed

The Central Pennsylvania Showcase was a fantastic event. PRLB traveled up interstate 83 North on Sunday to check out the talent that Central PA had to offer. Even though it was pouring down rain in the morning, it wasn’t going to stop the four teams involved from not taking a golden opportunity to play some lacrosse and get some exposure from the college coaches that were on hand scouting.

Also, the event, which hosted by York Suburban high school, had a purpose, fans and the teams that participated in the event were asked to bring canned foods to donate to the local York County Food Bank. The other three teams that played were Cumberland Valley, Central York and Lancaster Country Day. 

Frank Corto, who is the head coach for York Suburban and runs the local TEAM Lacrosse of PA club program, was pleased by the competitiveness of the games, and besides for a couple tents breaking down due to the rain storm, felt fortunate that the rain stopped and the sun came out to make the day perfect for some Sunday afternoon lacrosse in an area thats oozing with talent.

The players on all four teams work hard and play hard, and its something college programs look for when trying to add talent to their rosters. These players are tough and want to do everything they can to win for their teams.

Here are some of the players that stood out to PRLB during the Central PA Showcase.
