North Dakota Preps

They have a nice thread going about who will be on the boys Lion's team.  How about for the girls who will be on the Class B lion's team?

Stacey Nygaard-Adams Edmore

Kirstie Gillett-Dakota Prairie

Kristen Cuypers-LMM

Kallie Erickson-FL-PR

Abby Reiter-HN

Whitney Eckroth-SD

Teryl Norton-NS

Ally Bender-MLS

Those are a few names that come to mind....

I have no problem with your list but in the end I think we will see more girls from out west. I live in Region 1 so this is not a bias that I am expressing.

I think the following girls from out west stand a good chance on being on that list:

Mary Brooke from Dickinson Trinity

Heather Mosbrucker from Mott/Regent

Kayla Schmidt from Beulah

Abby Bratlien from Tioga

 

I count 12 names mentioned, how many make the team?

I think you have 12 and 2 alternates but I am not sure. I imagine a balance of wings, posts, and points would be a consideration as well.

Teryll Norton for sure will be on the team.  What about Kristina Schuster, that girl can light it up

If she gets MM to the State tournament I think both her chances and Dickson's go up considerably.

If they go to state again it will be two years in a row with at least one second place finish. They should both be a lock then.

No, they wont be a "lock" just because they go to state two years in a row.

Kayla Schmidt probably ought to be on the team..... once again here is a girl that is kinda lost between what she did for 3 years in class A and then moving to class B this year.  She was one of 1500 nominated nation-wide for the McDonalds All-American team!!!  I would hope that she would make  the Lion's All Star team.

who were all of the girls nominated from nd? do u know?

I have only seen 2 girls players and Kayla Schmidt (Beulah) and Katelynn Steffan(Dickinson high) were the only ones on the list from the west...... it was on the news the other day.  http://www.kxma.com/Sports/High%20School/93016.asp

Teryl Norton from New Salem was also nominated for the McDonalds All American team.

Sure would be nice to have a list of all who were nominated.  Thats quite an honor!

Kirstie Gillett-Dakota Prairie should be a lock as well.

schuster and dickson from M-M should be on the team as well

I don't think that many girls from 1 region will make it.  I would throw out Erickson, even though she's deserving, she would be the odd one out.  When do they vote on this?  I assume it's after the season is over.  If that's the case, then I would guess a M-M player would make it.  Dickson is a great player, but it seems that in the past, the players with the stats usually get the nod, & dickson is missing one stat-points.  Although she "could" score more, she hasn't.  I could be wrong, though.

I can come up with MAYBE one player from region 1-Amanda Dimmer from Maple Valley.  She may have a shot at being on the Lion's team, but other then her, I don't see anyone making it out of Region 1.

is there any rule taht says each region has to have atleast 1 person on the team?

But of the four main stats (points, rebounds, assists, steals) her other three (collectively) are so far above any other point guard in the state. By MM making a return trip to state it helps her chances trememdously so who ever makes the decisions can see first hand that she can score, just choses to be a team player. 7.5 boards, 7.3 assists, and 4.5 steals, what other player has anything close to that. The assist total is almost unheard of for a 32 minute game.

All you have to do is be nominated by your coach. Anyone can receive that honor. Nominations and selections are two different things. There are a few listed in there that have NO business being on that list for the McDonalds game. Boys or Girls. If you arent getting recruited heavily Divison I or have not already signed at a high level DII (at worst) why nominate them.

It is no different then Zack Elgie and Tyler Lunde from Minot both being selected Pre-Season All americans for baseball last spring. Nice numbers, but who did you play. Sorry but there are a ton of better players then them that are strugling to make their varsity team in California. Same goes in this case.

Dont get me wrong, I mean no disrespect to any of them that were nominated, but that is a WHOLE nother level.

I think baldwin ended the season averaging around 7 assists, 8.5 rebounds- to go along with 20+pts & a bunch of steals, so it's not unheard of, but very impressive.  baldwin's only a junior, & I guess we're talking about picking the lions team.

I sure hope dickson makes it- she deserves it.  But I just don't know how many picks one region is going to get.  Reiter & Gillett are a lock.  Now we could potentially add Erickson, Dickson, & Kristina Schuster- I don't think it'll happen, maybe one more, & I would pick Dickson-hands down-but what will everyone else think?

i agree that it isn't unheard of to average 7 assists per game, but sammi baldwin was on a team that revolved around her.  She was their main player and everything on offense went to through.  I'm not trying to take anything away from her, because she is an amazing player, but MM doesn't have a stand out player unlike most of the teams you see.  If dickson wanted to she could score about 20 points a game, but she is too unselfish.  She probably averages about 3 or 4 shots a game and i can tell you that im 100% certain schuster and baldwin average way more than that
