      Criticize the coach if you want, but don't say the player is overrated. That's ridiculous. And give her credit for playing her heart out with high school teammates, including during a senior year when she's had her commitment to UCLA wrapped up for more than a year.

        if you think that WH player was overrated, you have never seen her play. She's one of the best players this state has ever produced. She is one of the top players in the world at her age.

          I have seen her play many times on the club level. She is a great player and certainly one of the top 10 in the state this year. She has been pushed by her Dad and his connections since she was 12. She has had nothing but great exposure to all the advantages available to a select few.

            Publicity hungry? Look in the mirror. If there's not a weekly article about your kid then you have to denigrate someone else for getting some press? Overrated? Overrated compared to what?

              The idea she is great because she played after making a college commitment a year ago is a joke. Of course she would play! She is like the other thousands of high school athletes nationwide who play high school sports after committing to a college. Let's not overpraise her for a normal decision. By the way, at the game tonight she looked like a very good player; not one of the best in the world!! Way to go Grifa!!!

                My daughter graduated last year after a good high school career. She was not a superstar but she did a few things the "great one " didn't do. She won a title and has a ring for it......and she played college this year also.............winners win; losers talk!! Keep the chat going Dave! She will never win a title because she was spoiled at a young age. No one can ever forget her meltdowns after losses before. She seems like a nice young lady who has been mistreated by her egotistical father.

                  Absolutely ridiculous post. If her father is egotistical then I know some fathers who are astronomically egotistical...some of the most clinically narcissistic characters I've ever seen in my life, and I'm not talking about SL or W-H. Give SL credit for pulling off a major, major upset and withstanding multiple crossbars, free kicks, etc. and 85/15 possession.

                      Bill Johnson...........a great coach! Silver lake was fortunate to get him back..............and you are right! As bad as her father was , there are many others who are far worse!

                        Unbelievable how quick you people are to put down a high school girl. She is a great player with rare talents. Why can't you people just accept that upsets happen in all sports and congratulate Silver Lake on the win, instead of automatically trying to down play her abilities?

                          I have seen her play and agree she is highly talented and can impact a game as much as anyone. That being said, "Great ones" accept defeat with class and dignity and will shake hands after a tough loss. Hope tonight will be a life lesson.

                            As a parent on a Scorpion team that has had the absolute pleasure of watching SM play, please refrain from moronic posts that will only incite more stupidity.

                            SM is as great a player as has ever been produced in this region. Her work ethic is great and her skill is awesome. Often times great players look less great playing high school. My kid does. My kid is a starter for her team but not a mega stud on h.s. because the game is not played the same.

                            BTW, the father is nice and unassuming and the player is classy and kind, I suggest you be also.

                              Not sure if there will be an upset that tops that one.
