The system may be flawed if it is so heavily dependent on an individual team's coach to nominate and be present at a meeting. Notice the lack of Eastside girls in the nomination list. Maybe next year they could do it similar to showcase tournaments or player id processes. It would require additional paper work and tracking but you would truly get the top players for the high school season identified. During the season a coach submits names/numbers of the opposing team who they felt were outstanding/all state material during the game. I would suspect by the end of the season you would have a list of a lot of repeat names identified by all different coaches. This would be the nomination list. The nomination committee could then narrow the group down from there but every player would have had an opportunity to be nominated if they played a game and the nomination would have been judged on the current high school season which I think is suppose to be the basis of the selection. The nomination committee could look at the data and the players whose names were chosen game after game by opponent coaches would likely truly be impact players. This would give the girls whose coach wasn't present or didn't do the paperwork to nominate a chance for the data to speak for itself. It would give the girls who maybe don't play club soccer and therefore have possibly more name recognition in the state an equal chance of being chosen.
I would guess Mary would be happy to volunteer to facilitate the paper work.
