No slight to any of the the other players out there there are some really great ones, and I would bet that if you polled the top players themselves they would probably overwhelmingly vote for her.


You all really need to get a grip. First off the USA today thing is a political joke . To say anyone is the best midfielder in the country is just pompous and ridiculous. Kid is a great player and so are many others and yes there are some that are her equal.Everything is so subjective that to say anyone of them is the best player is ridiculous. Have played against her and her YJ teammates many times and would tell you that on that team any of 5 kids including the goalie have been the best player on the field that day. I would also be willing to bet that everyone of those kids have just as much of the intangibles you speak of .Have done scouting for our High School team for 10 years plus and have not seen the kid who is the clear best player in any year, they all have weaknesses and there are many who could have the one of the best label so give it a rest.

Sorry it is a sore topic for you, but you are obviously personally vested thus not able to objectively comment on this. But in reality it really doesn't matter as there are probably 3-4 girls close to her level and maybe your right. But, regardless it is just speculation and subjective speculation at that, as lacrosse is a team sport so we can't line them up 1 on 1.

Whether or not your daughter is one of the top ones, I don't know, maybe she is and good for her, and either way I would bet she probably put a ton of time and effort into the pursuit (just from how passionate you sound). But the scouting thing is kind of funny. But the scouting thing makes you sound a little nerdy kind a like a tool, so maybe you should drop that.
