The stats from SCSoccer show 43 goals and 8 assist nonetheless a great year. You may want to get them to update his stats if that is the case.

I don't want to offend but even the level of competition Dillon played in 2A was questionable. Your team was 19-2 this year and still wasn't ranked in the top 10? You only played 1 ranked team all season which was a loss (0-4) and your other loss was to a 1A team that was 3-11. If you can even remotely consider this kid on the Super Team of SC what is he doing in club soccer? I consider 3A soccer very suspect in it's quality. Yes there are teams at the top that are good but overall the quality is terrible. An average player can look good on a 3A field. IMHO 2A soccer is great competition but the skill level is way way below 4A where those mentioned are playing. 2A just doesn't have the numbers to field even partial teams with skilled players and/or athletes. Stats certainly do not paint the entire picture when it comes to SC high school soccer.


Well, I guess I did not realize that to be considered a top caliber player you had to:

1. Play for Northwestern
2. Play 4A soccer
3. Play club soccer
4. Play for a team that finished in the top 10

The debate should not be about the quality of the team. it's the quality of the player. We live in an economically depressed area where the opportunities to play club are limited. We try to schedule as best we can. We don't have a girls program so we have a difficult time getting matches with quality teams. 48 goals is 48 goals but I guess that means nothing if you don't play club ball or for Northwestern.
