Good morning, and welcome back to Friday Statwatch, our look at the scholastic field hockey scene through a statistical prism.
We’re seeing the end of regular seasons for a lot of teams already, and the hunt for goals is much tougher for some players. As we’ve started to notice that, thanks to a generation of well-trained goalkeepers around the country, scoring is down this year, and we may not have the same numbers of 50-goal scorers as we have in the past.
What you see below is a compilation of available field hockey statistics culled through this past Wednesday from sources such as Lancaster Online, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, New Jersey Advance Media, the governing bodies of Kentucky and Michigan, and, of course, the easy-to-use MaxPreps.com platform. I encourage you to get your fellow teams to enter their information there as well as whichever is your local news site, so that we can aim for as complete a statistical picture of the country as possible.
