MAKE A CASE FOR WHO YOU THINK HAS A SHOT!

[The Red Baron]

Lindsey Bullinger of FJ. She can just flat out do it all.

[Golden Goal]

I agree, she can do everything!

[Crazy_C~town_Fan]

sarah or kelly coble.....8-0 now with a victory yesterday!

[Dr. Pirate]

I would say, given the Pirate's dominance this season that a Pirate will be POY. Sara Coble leads the Pirate's in goals, but a case could be made for any of the Lady Pirates. Brooke Teghankamp at forward does not allow teams to double team Coble because she will then burn you. Kelly Coble is having a masterful season in goal, and don't forget about Stephanie Spitnale, who after tearing her ACL less than a year ago, is out on the field and playing at a very high level. That is an amazing feat just to be playing so soon, but she is scoring goals and controlling the middle too. Defensively, Jessica Brown, Janelle Doenges, and Jenn Talbott have all played very well too. While Sarah Coble looks to be the front runner, the Pirates should have many players on First and Second team as well.

I AGREE THAT LINDSEY BULLINGER IS A GREAT ALL AROUND PLAYER. BUT UNLESS HER STATS BLOW YOU AWAY IT WILL GO TO ONE OF THE GIRLS FROM CONTINENTAL, IF THEY WIN THE PCL. CONTINENTAL STILL PLAYS OTTOVILLE, KALIDA AND MC. FJ NEEDS SOME HELP FROM ONE OF THOSE TEAMS.

I think Sarah Coble from Continental has a good chance of getting it. She is leading the team in goals and assists. She is an all around great player.
Also, her older sister Kelly Coble has been a great goalie for the Pirates.
I think both of them have a good chance.

Having watched FJ play this year I have to agree with you, Lindsey Bullinger is a great player, but I thin kthe reason she will not get player of the year is her attitude. I watched her play against Continental and Kalida and both times she lost her composure. In fact at the Continental game she recieve a yellow card after slide tackleing a Continental player from behind. I think PCL player of teh year she be a role model to the younger players. My pick is Kelly Coble or Stephanie Spitnale from Continental because they are both great players and seniors.

[andrew153]

i think she allso will get it

[game1044]

I would have to disagree with you, sportfan4. Just because someone receives a yellow card, he or she should not be out of the running. In my opinion, that is playing physical. Now, there is a difference in playing physical and getting a yellow card, rather than like you said, an attitude problem, or language, or bad mouthing and getting a card. But in this case, it was because of physical play. I also find it pretty sweet that she, along with some other girls, is willing to slide tackle in girl’s soccer. It happens all the time in boys, but you don't see it very often in girls. I'm not saying tackle, tackle, tackle all the time, you obviously need to know when to slide and when to stay on your feet.

It was brought up, too, that if Continental would win PCL, the POY should be from that team. I disagree with that, as well. That is usually the way it happens, but IMO the league title should not play a factor in the POY. Same with stats. A lot of times, older players (mainly seniors) are playing under more pressure. People have seen them play as underclassmen, and teams tend to apply more pressure to those players. It's very cool to see a girl with a one, or two or even three players on her can still get a good shot off (that is when her teammates are unable to get the ball). Stats don't mean everything. Take last year's boys POY Matt Burgei. He was the league's Player of the Year. He was a defensive player, and how many goals did he have?? assists? Not many. It isn't all about the stats.

Next, I do not think that just because you are a senior you should get it over a junior. Granted, it may be the last chance you get at it, but that's life. I believe that if the junior deserves it more, the junior should get it.

Lastly, I think we're skipping some people. I agree with Kelly Coble and Lindsey Bullinger. But I wasn't too impressed with Spitnale, and that may have to do with an ACL tear last year, but that shouldn't affect the POY decision. It would be like if the best player in the PCL, hands down POY would injure herself and was out for the whole season. She obviously would not be eligible for POY because she did not perform the best in her league for that year. Same goes for pre-season injuries. As for Sarah Coble, yeah I'd agree she's pretty good, but I think there are better players in this league. Renee Dickman, FJ's keeper, is also doing pretty well this season. Although, I've never really been a big fan of keepers (unless they are obviously deserving of it) getting POY. What about the offensive games, when a keeper receives a shutout stat, when she touched the ball maybe 5 times? No matter what type of game it is, every other player on the field (especially midfielders) has to continue to work their butts off to control the game.

I think I'm finished, but wow, that was a long post and now my hands hurt!!!

[stevie wonder]

I would have to say that the Triplehorn girl from PG has to now be mentioned in the same breath as some of the rest. Especially since she is starting and scoring on the boys team at PG. Go Rockets

[Dr. Pirate]

Note to game1044: I did not say that a Continental girl would get POY because they will win the PCL. In fact, I agree with you that the POY should go to the best player in the league and not to the best player on the best team. What I meant was that I feel Continental has the better players and there are a couple choices to choose from. Spitnale, Teghankamp, and the Cobles are not just the best players on the team, they are probably all in the top 8 players in the league.

[game1044]

stevie wonder...is that even possible? I have never even seen her play before, and in NO way do I mean this offensively, but because PG doesn't have a girls soccer team, can she still be an all-league player? I am very curious about this one, now.

[xplayer]

I don't believe that the PG girl can be nomiated for the PCL girls player of the year because they would have to have a girls team. I know Miller City tried to have a girls player nominated for all district before they had a girls team. Even though they let her put up for nomination the Miller City team could not vote because they had no girls team. With that girl playing on a boys team none of the coaches seen her play and she did not recieve enough votes to get nominated. I would have the same feeling the same thing would happen even if they let the girl from PG to be nominated.

[game1044]

Thanks, xplayer. That's kind of what I figured would be the answer.

[FrOnT RoW JOE]

I am also taking one of the Coble girls from Continental...11-0 now

[6-footer II]

Agree totally with u Joe, the Cobles are for real

[CHS-Fan]
