I certainly would have tried harder if I knew there was a chance to get a scholarship.

This honestly isn't meant as dig towards you, but the idea that someone who genuinely loves playing soccer in high school would "try harder" if the potential to earn a college scholarship were there doesn't seem realistic. If a player really loves the game and has the potential to continue their development by playing at a higher level, he or she would almost definitely find a way to continue that development by playing in college, joining an MLS academy, or going to Europe.
