My post was intended to provoke�and it seems a few are right on track�I think "best player," especially in soccer, is truly difficult�Surround individual players with different teammates and see a different player�
I do think some of the best players in the state are girls�that was part of my post also�(comparing girls within girls soccer�not comparing a girl to a boy head-to-head, of course)
I also agree about performance being consistent�along with how a player shines against the best competition�
I know in high school soccer we get players designated as "great" who pile up goal totals against very weak teams�That's why we need to see soccer played and not look at stats�especially since defenders get left out of the stat race�
