Moving on....
These High School kids are fearless. They will step onto the Kronum Round and take you to school. Literally. They have branded their style of play based upon their scholastic athleticism and each of these Philadelphia based schools have revealed unique and effective gameplay strategies. From Bucks to Berks, Montco to Delco, these Millenials are the newest wave to hit the Kronum Round, pioneering the latest version of the most influential sport around the globe: Kronum 56. Aptly named after the most recent alteration implemented to the Kronum playing surface, the Newtown Square, Pennsylvania circular field at the Gable Complex now boasts a 56 yard diameter. Born from of the mind of Kronum League Founder and President Bill Gibson of Villanova, PA, the "56" is a near halfway creation of the original 70-yard and newer 50-yard diameter rounds. So far, it has proved to be the perfect fit for the speedy, agile youngsters.
Don't call 'em youngsters though. Rough, tough, and full of ambition, the 11 High School K-REC squads are becoming men in the making in the Kronum world. Ferocity, precision, and pre-existing tight-knit bonds have enabled the players to effectively bring their skill sets from various backgrounds to quickly adjust on the fly to become fiery forces on the field. Chase Fullen of the Nimble Jacks will bust your ankles with crafty footwork, Pat Maguire and Tim Leonard of the Throwbacks will rip throw shots by you before you can react, Matt Branca and Dylan Hertel of the Evergreens will brick and mortar your shots on goal, and Nelson Blickman of the Night Owls and Charlie Platt of the Loose Cannons will cross you up. leaving you to pick up any piece of equipment you may have lost in pursuit. Wait, we can't leave out Matt Falkenstein of the Urban Legends. The 2012 Kronum league Crown Ring Award recipient will lock you up on "D" and your team will be playing on only 3 goals all day. Under the guidance of League managers Scott Kennedy and Kyle McGrath along with a Who's Who of Kronum League vets, the teams have taken their games to a high level in only a few weeks. Needless to say, the support is here and these student-athletes are generating more hype in the Kronum circles every single Sunday. Setting up suffocating defensive rotations and instructing on the ideal offensive attack are the basic staples that have enabled the newcomers to adapt to Kronum. We have talent that will continue to grow and become incredibly influential in the sports world today.
Radnor, Neshaminy, Penncrest, Salesianum, Pope John Paul II, LaSalle, Haverford, Marple-Newtown, Episcopal, Malvern Prep, and Chichester have all joined the party and represent their respective institutions in a manner that is more than admirable. We've seen 8-point Ring shots that would make Kevin Clark of the Kronum League Urban Legends green with envy, acrobatic laid-out and sprawling saves that the the Throwbacks' James Thomas is taking notes on, and fancy footwork that has led the Jet Sets' Nick DeLuca to sign up for lessons before the 2012 season.
The New Revolt is led by the Radnor High Hooligans, led by captain Tommy Hemcher. The Haverford High Throwbacks (Pat Maguire) and the Neshaminy High Nimble Jacks (Mike Gulla) are posing legitimate threats halfway through the regular season and the rest of the teams are hungrier than 6th period lunch to knock off the frontrunners heading into the playoffs.
Think you can put together a squad of athletes to compete this summer?
We bet you can.

Great article! These students really are the future of Kronum. It's great to see so many schools that wouldn't normally get to play each other in their typical HS league play each other on the Kronum Round. Good work!
