In Owen Hiltz’s first season at Culver Academy (Indiana), he scored three first-half goals against head coach Chris Spahn’s Kiski (Pennsylvania) High School team. The first was a toe drag, the next was a face dodge, and the last was a shot around a screen. On all three, the defenders didn’t have a chance.
“Out of all (Culver’s) really good players, he just stood out,” Spahn said three years later. “He was just a really hard player to stop, especially with the ball in his stick.”
