The 92 Impact won state two years in a row at the highest level. Any comparisons are not too valid, at this point. The level of competition isn't even close. To give you an idea where he's coming from, their website has listed in bold letters that they are state champs three years in a row. As you might imagine, there is no mention at all that they were at D2 or D3. And, I'll bet the Mustangs have never beat Impact, and probably haven't even played them lately. It's a choice which division to play in, and there is nothing wrong with D2 or D3 - just don't try to make it more than what it is. Hey, maybe they'll do great this year, but what you're hearing now is just not right. No, I do not have a kid in Impact.
But, I wonder why this thread even started talking about U16 teams? The initial inquiry was about high schools and then later U15 club teams. I would think if I were moving into a new town with ODP/D1 level players and parents, I would look for the best U15 team with kids my own age and overall best high school situation. The only way I would play up, is if there were no other good options. As others have mentioned, SMSC Velocity Premier is clearly the best option at U15 (assuming there is room). High school is more subjective, but I would try to look into possible future performance for all four years. And, the quality of coaching and connections that translates most to club and college soccer.
