2004striker, thanks for your question regarding defenders. The coaches in this state do a remarkable job of communicating with each other and we’ve got great collegiality amongst the ranks. Part of job of the representatives on All-State committees is to ask coaches about their players and evaluate the players on opposing teams. Then, when the committees meet, we have a good idea of who we feel, as a consensus, are the strongest players. Of course no player can be named on the All-State teams without first being nominated by their Head Coach who must be a member of the South Carolina High School Soccer Coaches Association. Thanks.
