Justplayin:
I agree with you about the best players having good players around them (with the exception of goalkeeper, perhaps). The converse of that is also true. That the really great players make the players around them better. Fair or not, however, "best player" status is generally based on "what have you done for me, lately?"
Two of the best players no one has heard of:
-Andrea Cooper (last year) at Sumter
-Michelle Cathy (lives in Anderson plays club soccer) but I'm not sure if she even plays HS.
I also agree with a previous post of yours about GFC U-17 Black. I would take that comment one step further and say did you ever see GFC-USA two years ago. Went to club Nationals in 2001 and featured Lindsey Beam, Elizabeth Metherell, Stacy Simpson, and a host of other outstanding players, most of whom are playing D1 college ball.
