Players to Watch in Boys PAISAA Final

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kiski School is looking to make it three in a row on Wednesday in the Pennsylvania independent schools (PAISAA) title game at The Proving Grounds in Conshohocken. They beat Haverford School in the 2019 final, followed it up with a win over Germantown Academy last fall and will take on Phelps School Wednesday at 2:30 p.m. A 2020 final wasn't played.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Both Kiski and Phelps feature a number international players so there will be many countries represented on the field - Dominican Republic, Ghana, France, Spain, Ukraine, Italy, Guatemala and Greece just to name a few. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here's a look at three players from each team who could be the difference-makers in the final.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"right","id":63692,"width":256,"height":170,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepsoccer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2022/11/2021-11-17_16-40-08_770-2021-11-18T01_03_26.503-1024x683.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-63692" width="256" height="170"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><em>Donovan Phillip</em></figcaption></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='15083' first='Ben' last='Feinstein'], Senior, Midfielder, Kiski School<br></strong>The Michigan bound central midfielder (pictured above) is a classy playmaker who runs the Kiski attack and is in and around the ball a lot. He wasted little time in the semifinal against Haverford with a run on the right flank that led to a pretty cross to Phillip for the tap-in. He also drew a penalty and converted from the spot. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Donavan Phillip, Senior, Midfielder, Kiski School</strong><strong><br></strong>After starring in last year's final win over Germantown Academy, Phillip will be back seeking to lead Kiski to a third straight title. Phillip is a tough mark because of his size and athleticism.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Josue De Leon, Senior, Forward/Winger, Kiski School</strong><strong><br></strong>De Leon is another player who is a threat in the Kiski School attack, especially off the counter. He's great in transition and can finish.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":63691,"width":317,"height":211,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepsoccer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2022/11/F7A26CAC-EF1F-4782-B655-ECFE837441A36N4A9008-2022-11-08T22_02_41.502-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-63691" width="317" height="211"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><em>Collins Oduro</em></figcaption></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Collins Oduro, Senior, Forward, Phelps School<br></strong>The Ghanian forward has been virtually unstoppable in the post-season leading the Phelps School attack. His ability to split center backs with his pace and his shiftiness on the ball make him a constant threat for Phelps going forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Justin Schweitzer, Senior, Midfielder, Phelps School</strong><br>The senior midfielder from France creates a lot of chances for the Phelps attack from open play and set pieces. He has a high soccer IQ, is tidy with the ball and is good at combining with Phelps' many other attacking weapons.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Nikos Gousios, Senior, Defender, Phelps School</strong><br>Gousios is a silky smooth center back who has stood out even for a Phelps team that doesn't always have to do a ton of defending. His leadership on the back line will be key against the dynamic Kiski attack. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
