For those that think HS Lax and Newsday stats don't matter, go look at every big time LI recruits college bio. Everyone lists their HS point total, their all conference awards as well as the BS for pay all star teams they signed up for i mean tried out for in HS.

Every kid also puts those stats on their recruiting resume. So it does kind of matter in the self promotion aspect of recruiting.

I agree no one says their shooting percentage was 200 or that they had 100 turnovers in running up their stats. Just look at the SB all time goal leader. Probably 50% of her goals were college stat padding n blowout games against weak competition just like HS girls do
