Girls’ Soccer stats:

IMO, pointless. Without knowing the level of play each player has played against, how many individual goals were scored in comparison to how many goals her team scored in each particular game, the competitiveness of each game, etc, etc, how can anyone evaluate or compare one player from team A to a player on team B, team C, etc?

 

As an example, in a recent season there was a player (will not name names or team name) that was amongst the leading goal scorers in NKY. Their team played a rather weak schedule and if you looked closer you would discover they scored a large percentage of their goals in very one sided contests. One example this player had 5 goals when their team won 8-0 in two different games. Taking another closer look and this player went scoreless in a number of games against good teams. I'm not knocking any of the leaders, its not their decision which teams are on their schedule. But to be fair, evaluating stats and leaders requires an in depth look at who they played against, when and at what situations did a majority of their goals, assist, etc happen.
