[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Padding assists in these ridiculously bad games is almost as bad as goals. Kids do it to run their "points" up. Most of those same kids have zero ground balls, barely ride in transition and never battle on the draw circle.
That is soooo not true and shows you have no clue what you are talking about!
Question - How are players chosen for All county? Do they look at a players goals in total, playing ability or the quality of their play? So if a player has 10 goals but all against an "easy" team but another player has 8 against harder teams does that come into consideration?
The good coaches will use the eye test. The girls who dominate the play of the game are not always the ones putting up big numbers, especially in those blowout games. I can tell you right now the very worst girls on my daughters team are very capable of scoring 5-6 goals in those blowout games, and sadly often do. Most of the really good players would be embarrassed to do so and self regulate their own goal scoring. Why self regulate? Because the parents raised them correctly and they know better even when the coach doesn’t stop that crap. Stats in HS are a complete joke, go watch the tough games and you will Spot the 3-4 kids on the field who will earn All County even before a single goal is scored.
Very true - many of the girls who are considered the best players in the county by coaches - the ones that impact the games in many ways will put up solid "points" but will not be high on the leader board.. They are also playing in tougher games based on their team's ranking and schedule.
