Player to Watch

Brooke Griffin

South River,

Midfielder, Junior

With 16 goals and 18 assists as a sophomore, Griffin was instrumental in last year's undefeated regular season. Her primary sport is lacrosse, but natural athletic ability and a strong work ethic have allowed her to develop field hockey skills on par with the area's top players. That talent, along with an unselfish approach, is why she's already been named a captain for the Seahawks, who are seeking their first state championship since 2005.
