Stats absolutely do matter, but so does the team performance. The recipient of the top player was selected for a few reason is my opinion. Her team won the LI Championship, she has mega politics on her side, she is committed to a great school, she was a great player throughout HS, even if this was not her best year, she is a senior. There are a few others that fit most of that criteria, but maybe lack the politics part, such as the Northport girl, who was overall better, but a Jr.
You're not paying attention if you think the Northport player is better than the BBP player..
Much better...not even close. Only one problem was she is a Jr. Look at the County and LI championship performances, and you will see who showed up
Easy to play on good teams surrounded by good players. All of a sudden goals and assists are easier, draw controls easier. How are midfielders/defenders chosen for their defensive abilities when their teams play zone? Try playing on lower tier teams that dont have good players. Try playing for non YJ coaches who have no political influence. In addition if your team isnt in playoffs never mind win counties or LIC you have no chance for selection.
