Clarification: All-Region, All-State and POY honors are based on performances during the current high school year only. A player's accomplishments during her club season are not to be considered. POY is a high school award. Therefore Go USC is right: Way too early to discuss POY '09/'10.
Live and Learn: The POY is usually selected from the All-State team. Members of the committee selecting All-State change, but instructions remain the same:http://www.scsoccer.com/09AllStateCommittees.pdf
Unfortunately, there are coaches who sometimes don't nominate deserving players for All-State and therefore their players can't become POY.
