Don Bosco Prep: Last season’s No. 1 team and the current top dog stretched its winning streak to 12 games with a 7-6 win over Georgetown Prep (MD) last Wednesday, the Ironmen’s first of four straight against out-of-state opponents. They won’t see a New Jersey team until April 8 against Bergen Catholic. Senior faceoff standout Scott Conte, Duke-bound attackman Brady Scioletti (61 goals, 25 assists last year) and junior Yale commit Johnny Devir (35G, 19A) lead a well-rounded offense while seniors David Corb (Quinnipiac), Ben Linder (Mercer) and Timothy Norum (Cortland) anchor a tough, experienced defense for junior goalie Brody Corey. The Rutgers commit came up with 17 saves against Georgetown Prep, and does come in with experience behind Colton Carfello in 2024. Scioletti began his season with three goals and two assists and Conte won 10 of 16 at the faceoff X against Georgetown Prep. And we cant forget about Loyola commit, Brady Kushner who is sure to stack up goals this season.
