Since Yappi has been quiet recently, thought it might be fun to discuss top players from the top programs in each region since 2010. Thoughts?
 
 
I used the GCL website to help jog my memory, but these are some of the best of the best for Elder, X, and Moeller.

Elder
Matt Harpenau – 2010
Matt Moehring – 2010
Anthony Stacklin – 2013
Matt Nortmann – 2014
Ben Luebbe – 2015
Mark Klusman – 2017
Wyatt Albers – 2018
David Daeschner - 2018

St X
Matt Kues – 2011
Michael Fletcher – 2012
Patrick Beer - 2015
Nick Talbot – 2015
Evan Bretl - 2016
Henry Huber – 2018
Ben Pung - 2018

Moeller
Landen Hunter – 2010
AJ Eckhoff – 2011
Casey Pieper – 2013
Chris Hackman – 2015
David Wernery – 2016
Jason Bruggeman – 2016
Luke Bowles - 2017
Chris Kiser - 2018
 
Just my opinions:

Elder: Harpenau

St X: Talbot

Moeller: Pieper

Eds: McAndrews

Alter: Vandenbrock

Hoban: Gerwig

Darby: Cowen

Ignatius: Catanzaro?
 
Both Kues were pretty good - Derek probably better than Talbot for X. Jennings was also a good player for them.

For Darby Kelso was a heck of a player in '13.

I agree with a lot of your others though. Peiper and Harpenau were just unstoppable for Moeller and Elder respectively.
 
what I can remember in addition to ones mentioned before:

name School Year Position
Keaton Pieper Alter 2011 setter
Mikey Sokol Hoban 2011 OH
Willy Veverka Hoban 2011 S
Andy Sellan St. Charles 2011 OH
Sam Holt Purcell 2011 OH
Mike Powers St. Eds 2011 OH
Owen McAndrews St. Eds 2011 OPP
Carter Cassell Mt. Vernon 2011 S/OH
Chuck Eisenhauer Alter 2012 OH
Jarrod Kelso Darby 2013 OH
Thane Fanfulik Darby 2013 S
Jeff Fiorenza Fenwick 2014 S/OH
Ryan Koehlke Fenwick 2014 OH
Zach Storc Watterson 2014 OH
Logan Kerlin Northmont 2014 S/OH
Matt Vandenbrock Alter 2015 OH
Tommy Leslein Hoban 2015 OPP
Justin Luby Walsh 2015 OH
Evan Feltz DeSales 2015 OH
Ian Cowen Darby 2016 S
Dejon Clark Pick North 2016 S/OH
Sam Schindler Centerville 2016 MB
Austin Gerwig Hoban 2017 OH
Roman Szwabinsky Westerville South 2017 S
Andrew Rose Alter 2018 OH
Parker Mikesch Beavercreek 2018 L/OH

Also would say the Randolph's from Watterson, but not sure what year they graduated, as well as Joe Sokol from Hoban.

I would have had Derek Kues there, but OP said since 2010 - wasn't he before that? Wasn't he class of '08 or something near that?
 
Derek Kues was state POY in 2009.

I like where Falcon11 was going with best player from each school during the time period 2010-Current.

Elder - Harpenau or Ben Luebbe
X - Matt Kues or Nick Talbot
Moeller - Casey Pieper or Chris Kiser
Darby - Kelso or Cowan (Platfoot well on his way to surpassing both)
Eds - McAndrews
Alter - Vandenbrock
Hoban - Gerwig
Ignatius - Toss-Up between the setter and middle from when they won state and Catanzaro
 
Just thinking out loud - might be cool to put together a full roster from each HS from over the years (could do since 2010 to keep it recent). Remembering positions was tougher than I thought. Forgive me if I made a mistake!
