Hello, and welcome back to Statwatch, our weekly look at the game of field hockey through a statistical prism.
This week, we note that Anna Fisher, the junior forward who had 37 goals a year ago, has taken the lead in goals scored thus far in 2024. The WC Eagles standout is leading a team which was 16-3 a year ago and, with seven seniors in the side, will look for more honors than just in its division, which is Section 4 of the Lancaster-Lebanon League.
Lancaster Country Day, which is 11-0 this season, will have several impressive teams to get through in order to make the state tournament out of the always-difficult District 3-A tournament. Amongst the teams sure to be in the bracket are Elliotsburg West Perry (Pa.) and Oley (Pa.) Valley. As good as the teams in 3-AA and 3-AAA are, there could be a great story here if the Cougars are able to parlay their early successes into tournament glory.
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.
