SJE: YESSSSS, players there are much better, not disagreeing with you BUT team NO, NHS 2009 had Enzo Martinez UNC, Robbie Benson CofC, Shawn Ferguson CofC, Zack Clark LU, Clayton Gladden CofC, Alex Martinez HPU, Dennis Moore WC, Ricky Garbanzo CCU, all those went D1 and of course Ricky is on his way, Jermey Dobbins Lander, Cody Parks could of gone to Limestone, and Ryan Foster didn't wanna play soccer in college but could have if he wanted to, not good enough?1?






My point is yes they had a lot of talent as a team Barca. But let's face it.. you know Ricky, Enzo, Alex, Dennise all of them because they're from YOUR school and state. Do you know any players from California? Texas? No, so do you think people from California know about Ricky? About Enzo? I'm not even sure they know about Northwestern! And like I said ealier yes I think in 2009 they should at best be in the top ten nationally but we should never assume that they are #1 in the nation and that they are nationwide champions. You have to remember that year that Northwestern went undeafeted they didn't play any out-of-state team. Almost the whole same team won U18 USYS National Championship, and for that they were in the top ten for me but not until we get a nationwide playoff bracket for high school soccer, we should not just easily say that Northwestern was the best soccer team in the WHOLE United States.
