This reads like a participation list. Why stop at 56? It seems as though it's trying to be inclusive, but instead should try to be more accurate. There aren't many other lists that get as much exposure as this one. (Besides post-season awards)

With that being said, it's always fun to make a list.

I believe a more accurate Top 10 list goes:

1. Nurry
2. Cellucci
3. Fritchman
4. Schell
5. Redd
6. Duncan
7. Burton
8. Gormley
9. Cunningham
10. Wolak

Sallies' roster has the pedigree and is expected to occupy most of the top 20. Pompeii is one of these new Sallies kids that could easily be higher.
Cape has more unproven/dark-horse talent. Guenther #34 and Trivits #47 are integral goal-scorers for this year's Cape offense that could interchangeably be top 25.

Nonetheless, still excited to look out for these players on this list.

I would like to see this list as top players by position

Honestly there are a lot of good players not on that list and some that shouldn't be at all.

I also agree a list by position would make more sense - tough to compare a kid like Celluci to an attackman (though if you force me to I say he is #1 player at any position in the state).
