MAX Field Hockey took on the impossible feat of selecting just 30 players we anticipate to be among the top performers in the PA/NJ Region for the upcoming 2016 High School season.  The list of players we considered had so much talent and any number of those players could have been selected.  There are definitely some players not listed here that are just as deserving!  Please note- these are HIGH SCHOOL players-to-watch.  We worked very hard to make these about High School performance, not junior national team/USA Field Hockey/MAX Field Hockey player rankings, and also to make them span as much of the region, conferences, districts, etc. as possible.
