Caden Daley, Detroit Country Day (Mich.)
Caden Daley's massive week for a Yellowjackets team that had a huge week began with a Tuesday hat trick against Forest Hills Central, last year's undefeated Michigan Division 2 champion. Then came two goals against Romeo (Mich.) Wednesday and four against Cranbrook (Mich.) Saturday. Per coach Chris Garland, Daley "has been instrumental to our success early in the season through his ability to score goals in a variety of ways." Scarier yet, per Garland, Daley "has yet to scratch the surface of his potential as a lacrosse player."
