bibobibo,

Put Wise between the pipes at Hanna and I'd bet that Hanna would be just a successful. Put Maxwell into the situation at Walhalla and sure she would still succeed on an individual basis as Katie Tate has at Woodmont, but I seriously doubt that Maxwell has the confidence, patience, personality, leadership and ability to put egos aside in order to accomplish what Wise and her coaches and team have accomplished this season. This is not about AA, AAAA, who has played premier the longest or about what colleges these girls are playing for, it is about a player that has helped to pull her team together and take them to the next level. In the big picture, both of these girls are amongst the the top keepers in the state and both are going on to play soccer at the next level at their colleges of choice. Why not just be happy for both of these girls and their accomplishments.

Maxwell and Wise shared equal time in the goal with their club team. You might consider Wise the backup because Maxwell had been on the team for many years, but playing time was equal and games started equal as well. I think that the paper is looking at the impact a player had on a team this year, not just pure stats.
