It's high school....and the Player of the Year award has to be measured according to what is done at the high school level.
Does the Heisman Trophy always go to the player who will have the most success in the NFL?
Is Stephen Curry the best guard in college basketball? (He did his damage in the SoCon....not the Big East or Pac 10).
Does the best player in the state have to play R3 Premier and/or ODP?
I agree that the player being considered the best in the state should be receiving a lot of mail from D1 programs, but if Blakely, Julie and Lindsey had decided to play their collegiate soccer at Tufts, Carnegie Mellon and RPI, should we have taken their award away because they didn't go on to prove themselves at the highest level? Or does the fact that they did go to D1 programs validate their award?
