Just a thought. . .this is an often-argued topic.
Take a few minutes. Go to the scoreboard, and pick some of the top programs. Glance through the past several years. There are some really fine programs with some really high scores.
I am not justifying the high scores. I witnessed one school for a few years schedule weak teams three and four times EACH season to allow the "best" player to tally 8, 9, 10 goals in each of those matches. . .
I also have posted that I think high school soccer should be leagues based on quality of the programs, not classifications—with relegation, moving up, etc.
But any argument against running up the scores should have context. Look at the facts of scores. . .
8-0, 10-0, 12-0. . .not uncommon by the best programs in the state with top-notch coaches and players.
