So...the fact of the matter is that Dakota Prairie = the Gilletes...that's it. Yeah, they have other girls who can hit a big shot here and there, but when else do they hit a shot?...Dakota Prairie has been one of the best teams in the state for the past few years and has not been able to get the job done. I think they have probably been one of the most over-rated and disappointing teams in the state.
Yes, Kirstie has lead her team to a 2nd, 3rd and 4th place finish in probably the toughest region in the state, but where's the 1st place finish? Abby Reiter, on the other hand, has the 1st place finish! She has took her team to state, and they have been a team! The 2004-2005 Hatton-Northwood Thunder team was amazing because they were a team and you didn't know where the shot was coming from! The 2005-2006 Dakota Prairie Knight team was amazing for the same reason, but their reserves and girls without a last name of Gillete couldn't get the job done! Abby contributes in more than just scoring and can play from all areas on the court. Nothing against Kirstie at all, eventhough this post may be "rude" towards her, but Abby Reiter deserved more recognition then she received. The reason she didn't is because she had a TEAM!
