To voice of reason 2; You obviously are from the midlands since all of your "best" are from there. There are a tremendous number of talented players in the Upstate who can match up with your list.
If the players you picked are so tremendous, how come none of their high school teams played in the State Championship this year? Also, until Stacy left Necsa two years ago, and Bryn left this past year to play on Upstate club teams how many times did they win state and go to Regionals?
A list of the "best" players should include those players who elevate their team to achieve more.
I'm not disagreeing with your picks, all of them are good players, but there are many that you have omitted who could have produced as impressive stats as these girls. Megan Smith at T-R holds the State record for goals in a season and probably would have set a new career record had she played this past year. She consistently marks Lindsey Beam in club matches and usuallly wins the match-up, yet I never see her mentioned as one of the 'Best".
Another oft overlooked player is Kristine Ashford. She is as good a defender as you can find in club, but has played midfield and forward in high school. The same is true of Erica Devine at Riverside. Had these girls been able to play one position their whole career, it would be obvious that they are among the best.
