Welcome back to Friday Statwatch, where our statistical lens is focusing this week on the grade levels of the best goals-scorers thus far this season. You would normally think that this statistics is senior-laden. But far from it. Anna Fisher, the nation’s leader thus far, is a junior. Liv Hess, who has 41 this year, is a sophomore. Bella Boyle, who is just one behind, is just a ninth-grader.

As much as we’ve been mulling over how defenses seem to be making some ground after being downtrodden during the Score-O Decade, a new generation of scorers seems to be making their way through the scholastic ranks, which will made the next few years all the more exciting.

Below is a compilation of available field hockey statistics through this past Wednesday from available sources such as Berks Game Day, 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.

Given the paucity of daily field hockey stats, we know there are going to be some gaps here. If you see an error or omission, please feel free to send an email to us at TopOfTheCircle.com. Include some backup (a website will do), and we can make the change.

Thanks for reading and we’ll see you very soon.
