Evan Large

Haverford School vs. Malvern Prep PAISAA Standout

Large’s development over the past few years has been extremely impressive. He capped it all off with arguably the best and definitely the most timely big-game performance of his career. Large first broke into the Fords’ lineup as a sophomore as an outside shooter who wasn’t asked to initiate much. He can still sling it – you always need a defender camped out on his hands – but he also showed that could dodge some, too.

Large took advantage of a short-stick matchup at X on a first-quarter invert. He then blasted out a shot that ripped a hole in the net, always a sign that you’re a decent shooter. Large buried a stepdown on a Morsell feed, too, but it was his second-half goals that really stood out. A righty finish while falling down after breaking through a double team tired the game at 9 with nine seconds left in the third quarter. He then uncorked a spinback where he perfectly placed a low-to-mid crank to give Haverford a lead it never gave up.
