RP, not to jump in, but...if the award is to recognize performance and achievement in 3A high school soccer...exactly how should a player's club experience factor into the decision? Either a player performed well on the high school field or he didn't; in recognizing that, club is irrelevant.
Also, if a player can do exceptionally well in the high school venue WITHOUT the added advantage of high-level club training, that would seem to speak even more highly of his individual ability to master the game.
I can't judge the young man from firsthand experience--just making a statement of general reason.
