Boys college recruiting: Hank Kalafatis’s CitySide journey

Hank Kalafatis: from fifth grade to Ohio State, with five chapters marked by the CitySide shield.

Hank Kalafatis, Goalie, O’Dea, Class of 2028.

  1. Connect: Hank joins CitySide in fifth grade.
  2. Learn: Hank plays up with the 2027 team, learning the game at a higher level and discovering more about himself.
  3. Develop: He brings those lessons to the 2028 team, helping his teammates grow and develop. At O’Dea, familiar CitySide faces become high-school teammates.
  4. Compete: CitySide’s nominations and advocacy help Hank earn places in Goaliesmith showcases and access national-team opportunities.
  5. Excel: Successful on and off the field, Hank becomes a sought-after Inside Lacrosse four-star recruit and commits to Ohio State.
