Taylor Parker is an easy nomination......very smooth and a pretty player. I think she is as good a finisher as I've seen, boy or girl.

However......I really like Alissa Pantuosco, #7 from Clover. A junior, she is absolute dynamite on the ball. I think if she played for Mauldin or Dorman or Riverside or Irmo or some such school like that......she would have a much higher profile in the state.

Those are my two.....if I had a vote.



Fair enough, but Parker has a high profile playing at FM, what is the differnce between FM and clover.



How about a key difference between Fort Mill and Clover being something like 8 straight undefeated region seasons for Fort Mill. Always being a 1 seed has helped FM make fairly deep runs into playoffs that Clover hasn't been able to pull off over the last 2-3 years where they've been good.

Clover has a talented team.....but they dont' have the depth of Fort Mill, nor do they have the longevity. Because FM has been very good in SC for a long time....they get a lot of respect that flows down to the players.

Alex Ramsey was a very, very good soccer player for a bunch of years in SC. She played at a school that wasn't that good and as a freshman didn't even make all region. Maybe the best player in her class statewide

Clover is a lot better situation than Alex was in at RH. But I think thats a perfect example of a player needing team success in order to get individual recognition.

For Alissa to get the recognition that she has earned....Clover needs to make a run. Whether they do or not though.... shouldn't negate the point that she is a phenomenal player.
