Winning team reports stats. As someone who has taken stats. I was never consulted on them. Some schools value more things then others. All Newsday cares about is

Win
Goals
Assists
Maybe saves[/quote]

Winning team also can be guilty of creative stat taking, for example draws and assists. Please don’t try to deny that this is not the norm for certain teams.[/quote]
There is a pretty simple way to resolve this. Newsday should list the stats by division played in, that way you'll see apples to apples. What is a player in a lower division supposed to do, not score or assist against weaker opponents? Once playoffs begin you see how the lower division will struggle against better teams.
