what do you know about her? I know mandan is a power in class A, & for someone to shine like that on a team that good, she must be special.
I know very little, if anyone can shed some light, it would be great.

Oops..... I guess I was wrong it was 27 full ride scholarships to play basketball at Division 1... here is a quote from the news awhile ago....
"Amundson has seen a lot of talent come and go while coaching at Mandan and what he sees in Kielpinski was also seen by 27 Division One universities from around the country who offered her a full-ride scholarship."
She has been involved in 4 class A championships for Mandan in a row and going for big #5!
What were the names of some of these schools? Is New Mexico a basketball power?

You're kidding right? Does she deserve it?
She's the best player in the state and she did it against Class A teams night in and night out. She's about to win her fourth state championship, which is amazing. Stats are deceiving and never more in the case of Class A vs. Class B.
She'll get it because of her name and the publicity she's gotten? She's better than her sister and I'm going to guess being the Class A state tournament MVP as a SOPHOMORE was a pretty good indication of what was to come. I think it would be an injustice if she wasn't voted as Miss Basketball. That won't happen, cause the media knows she's the best player.

I know those other girls are great players and great individuals, but just look at what Jessica has done since she was an 8th grader. Her numbers are staggering. If you want to start throwing stats out, compare those others with her stats since then. Also remember that Mandan plays some very good schools outside the state of ND. As much as I care about Class B, I cannot see anyone more deserving of this award than Jessica. Hands down, no question.

Where did KG ever lead her team to, she chokes in big game. Reiter took her team to state as a sophomore. You can check the records, in DP biG games KG was a non factor, the stats dont lie. **** Its easy to score big points against weaker teams and players but a GREAT player steps up in the big games.

Only her sophmore year did they lose out in the first round and she was coming back from her acl tear. DP did not make it to state, granted, but their record the last 2 years is 41-9. And 3 of the games Kirstie was out with an ankle prob. Kirstie had 10 points and 7 rebounds in the Fordville/Lankin game this past regional trip. You can't call that a "choke". Half her scoring average but with double/triple pressure also.
One of Kirstie's highest scoring games this winter was against New Rockford. They made it to their regionals also. Couldn't be that wimpy of a team. Kirstie also had 25 against Drayton St. Thomas in reg season and 23 in regionals. She was the high scorer of both teams in the Hillsboro matchup. Against Hatton Northwood she had double doubles. 28 against MayPort in the district opener. All these teams made it to their Regional Tourney. IMO not just scoring/rebounding against the weaker teams.
