[quote=RantingSoccerDad][quote=Anonymous][quote=RantingSoccerDad]All three play high school soccer.

In the spring, one was second-team All-Met and another was honorable mention (granted, both sophomores, but another sophomore made the first team).

In the fall, one was honorable mention All-Met as a junior.

Is this all a fluke of age-grouping, or is All-Met not quite plugged into things? Or has the USSF scouting department overlooked a couple dozen superior players in the DMV alone?

Congrats to all three, in any case. One has signed to play for my Bulldogs. (Well, where I grew up -- can't really say "my" if I didn't go to school there, I guess.)[/quote]

All met isn't plugged into things.  HS soccer is social more than anything, especially around here.[/quote]

So would it be the case that maybe these particular players didn't do much when they were playing for their high schools? Or maybe missed a bunch of games to play with their clubs?

I think if I'm doing All-Met for the Post, I'm checking with every scout and every scouting service I can find. If someone's getting called into national camps, I'm going to say it's safe to assume there aren't 30 better high school players out there.

I did find a couple of their football selections ... idiosyncratic?
