Macie Crews is not on the first team? Does something just not seem right about this. She was all-state and mvp of her district and not one of the top three forwards in the northeast? Come on guys, this is not rocket science. Can someone say that the coaches who choose this must have accidently checked the wrong box. I don't even have a child at this school but this is just wrong. She is a great kid and a great soccer player who deserved better. Someone should be ashamed of themselves.

First thing i noticed too.

Eagle88, not "all state", but FIRST team all state.

In my ten years around girls soccer in Louisiana this is the first time I have heard of the "All- Northeast La. Regional team". So I am not sure of its validity, i.e. who is behind it, who are its voting members, any links to a particular newspaper or high school, etc. I guess I could start the "Uptown All-Star Soccer Team", thereby recognizing more players from De La Salle, McMain, Ursuline, and my other home-ies.

This is the second year in fact that there has been an All-Northeast LA team named. All of the HS soccer coaches in Northeast LA are involved in both nominating players and voting for the team. It is no different than a Baton Rouge All-Metro team or a Shreveport-Bossier all-city team. So why the comment of "not sure of its validity".......?

this happened last year in the boys. i made 1st team all state but 2nd team all northeast... its just a popularity contest most of the time and you have to laugh at people doing the votes. i heard it went something like hey as a coach i dont like the neville programs so i wont vote for any of their players

[im4christ]

Let me make one point, I nominated players for this team and voted for this team and really could care less what you think about me, but I am rather disappointed in the comments because the girls on this list deserve much more respect than you all are giving them!

[iluvsoccer]

This All-Northeast LA Regional Team is just another popularity contest and has nothing to do with each of these girls respective abilities. Wouldn't it be great to actually see a soccer game with these two teams pitted against the other?

Congrats to all the girls nominated for this team. There is alot of talent in NE La and I'm sure there will always be disagreement on who should be on the roster and in which ranking...... its soccer! Hopefully the girls, both on and off this list, don't take it all too seriously and continuing playing the game for the enjoyment of it.

i didnt say you didnt vote right. i know that you would vote right. but thats not saying there are other coachs out there that will not vote for certain players or schools because of spite. like girls transfering to avoid a coach.
