Fifa Star - not sure its worth responding to your question, given that you clearly have already made a judgement about Courtney's accomplishment - but for those who are interested in what she has done over the past four years, here are the details. (As a note I kept stats for Pinewood in 08,09,10, and got them from the team this year).
Courtney has scored 200 goals in 91 games for an average of 2.2 goals / game.
She has averaged 2.6 goals a game against SCISA Region II teams.
She has averaged 3.1 goals a game against the bottom three teams in Region II. (I wont list the team names - its not important - but its clear that an extra half a goal a game versus teams that she could easy notch 3 to 4 more is not padding stats) - Against the team you noted above she averaged 3.3 goals / game.
She has averaged 2.7 goals / game in the SCISA playoffs.
She has averaged 1.5 goals / game against SCHSL teams.
Some of her averages against SCHSL team:
Greenville 3.0 goals / game
Academic Magnet 1.5 goals / game
Woodruff 1.0 goal / game
Wando 1.0 goal/game
In addition she has a 1.9 goals / game average against teams from outside of SC - Including goals against some very tough teams - Lee Summit North (Mo) - nationally ranked, Battlefield High (VA) - regional ranked, St. James (KS) - regionally ranked, Frederica Academy - Georgia AA Private School state champs, Westminster Academy - Georgia AAA Private School state champs.
I wont get into the sportmenship question about some of the scores Pinewood posted earlier this year, but I will tell you that Courtney has consistently passed the ball of to other teammates in these games. Last year and again this year every single player on the Pinewood team scored - almost all of them assisted by Courtney. Anyone who knows her and her selfless style of play will celebrate her accomplishment and not look for reasons to tarnish it. With one more season to go it is quite possible that Courtney could end up in the top 5 goal scores of all time nationally.
It is a shame that some of us can't find it within ourselves to be proud of a home grown soccer talent. For those who can celebrate with her I will post a link later to a video of her last four goals and some highlights from the past four years.
