Unless a premium is placed on stat keeping, like it is in basketball, schools will never pay someone to "keep the book" like they do in basketball. Some coaches do it on their own but not all. Most times a bench kid or a team manger keeps the stats. Many times these people don't have a trained eye for the game and caused turnovers, ground balls, draw controls etc are missed. As it is, many assists are missed or wrongly credited because many people don't even know what constitutes an assist and what doesn't. Really only goals are the only correct stat that is kept, that includes saves as well.

If player A is in conf 3 and has 75 points that would most likely be equivalent to having 55 points in conf 2 and 30 points in conf 1. it doesn’t mean conf 3 and 4 doesn’t have some good quality players but I think it’s fair to say if you score 40 goals in conf 1 you would prob be good for 75~90 in conf 2 or 3. Stats should be listed by conf like they are separated by county and private/public.

Has the voting taken place for All-Americans yet? Looks like it will be dominated by Juniors

Not sure. Think coaches had to nominate already. Yes I agree juniors will dominate them in Nassau.
A few AA nods are obvious, few made it last year as well, but I would say a few spots will be interesting. will there be any outside of conf 1 in section 8???

Couldn’t agree more

Not likely. Inflated stats against lesser competition. Those players need to produce against the top teams.

How many are selected

Coach gets to pick a certain number of All County based on their record. Those girls are normally also nominated for AA, which is voted on by all of the coaches. They normally pick the players who stood out as game changers and showed good sportsmanship. Not necessarily stat leaders. Upperclassman are also favored. It’s rare for sophomores to be awarded AA. The AAs are normally announced at the county dinner which I hear is not happening in Suffolk this year, a shame after all these girls have been through!

What was the final score? Never posted on Newsday or Section XI. Thanks

Totally agree. I've already suggested this to Newsday, more people need to email this suggestion

Will do. No point in posting stats the way they do it now!

7-4 was the final.I think it was 2-2 at half.had the calls gone to RP it would have been tighter but that was the difference.bbp field looks smaller from a normal size field.just what it looked like to me but there was less room in the mid field especially at the draw circle.

Wait….”had the calls gone to RP it would have been tighter. That was the difference”. The Difference was a BBP team that dominated the second half and the score would have been much Less tight if not for RP’s fantastic goalie. RP could barely get inside the 12 meter, let alone shoot. THAT was the difference.

BBP plays on a smaller field. Is well coached and has gotten favorable officiating. Let’s see what happens Wed

Couldn’t get inside the 12 meter.it took your team almost the whole first half to score and it wasn’t until the ref called 4 consecutive free positions in row.we played you at rp a totally different game on a real field with pretty much equal officiating.Oh let me guess that was a close game due to the jet lag the team had from playing in Maryland.Get over yourselves if we were man up for 2 yellow cards in the second half and multiple free positions which your offense is based on.too bad there wasn’t a shot clock this year you wouldn’t be able to stall and slow the game down to a crawl.
