I had a discussion last week with a friend where I told him that I felt the top goalkeepers in 3A were stronger than their counterparts in 4A. With all due respect to the young lady at Academic Magnet (1A/2A), it was nice to see that four of the eighteen players selected to the Girls 3A All-State team are goalkeepers. Not sure if that has ever happened before.

Kids play sports because they find it fun. Eliminate the fun and soon you eliminate the kid.
