This week’s Statwatch take a look at a sister act that has been burning the nets in the South. Chapel Hill (N.C.) has had an outstanding season thus far, winning their first 20 games of the 2023 season. In half of those games, the Tigers have exceeded the 20-goal mark.
Part of that is due to the sister act of junior captain Addie Gilner and her sister, freshman Scarlett Gilner. Addie Gilner is amongst the best assisters, with 58 on the season. Scarlett is tied for third in the nation in goal-scoring with 117.
And did I mention that she’s a freshman? It will be interesting to see what kind of digits she can put on the scoreboard the next three years.
What you see below are from available sources, including MaxPreps, Berks Game Day, the KHSAA, The St. Louis Post-Dispatch, and Advance Media. To make this list an even more complete one, I encourage you to adopt the easy-to-use MaxPreps.com platform, and we 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.
