Hi, and welcome back to Statwatch, a feature of this website which tries to make sense of scholastic field hockey through its numbers.
This week’s most interesting statistical occurrence happened on Tuesday in the PIAA District 11-AAA Tournament as Emmaus (Pa.) senior Abby Burnett, on a corner shot deflected in by high-scoring classmate Rachel Herbine, earned her 100th career assist.
This isn’t the first time that teammates have gained 100 assists while playing together. It was just three years ago when Somerset-Berkley Regional (Mass.) had the brother and sister duo of Lucas (132 assists) and Cami (122) Crook, playing for a team which would win state championships — and because of gender, raise hackles amongst traditionalists.
Still, you can’t blame them for wanting to success in the game that their mother taught them, and help out teammates by drawing the pictures and luring them to space, so that it was easy for them to put in goals. Which, last I heard, is still the object of the game.
What you see in the red type are numbers published by, amongst other sources, MaxPreps, Berks Game Day, the KHSAA, The St. Louis Post-Dispatch, and Advance Media. We encourage coaches, ADs, team managers, and staffs to register for the MaxPreps.com platform, and we encourage you to get your fellow teams as well as perhaps your league, section, or state governing body to enter field hockey information there, so that we can aim for as complete a statistical picture of the country as possible.
