Originally posted by Unregistered View PostIt is completely a popularity contest, first the more popular coaches get preference and quantity, and less popular coaches get scraps. Strong players at less popular schools get overlooked for weaker players at more popular schools. Always been that way. Won't change.
Good and well respected players get chosen
Less popular schools and players have not made an impression

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostMaybe you have a point there. Maybe the senior will get held back to repeat 12th grade. Do we know the school?
Kids aren't staying back to have another year of high school soccer! Unfortunately injuries are part of the game, it's seemingly worse for senior players because they don't have the promise of bouncing back the following year and most don't move onto college soccer.

Having watched many HS games last year, when the all state list came out, I only agreed with about 1/2 of the selected. If a school has more then 1 top player it is very difficult to get 2 selected and impossible to get 3. A school like Farmington or Glastonbury might have 3 deserving players some years but never get it. Then a lesser player from more remote areas gets it just to “spread it out”. My experience is based on boys LL.

The all-state and all-region thing is political. Sure, the kids are decent, but often not the best.
