I think if you are a returning All-Stater, and continue to play solid ball to help your team stay in the top 10 all year, reach the State Tournament championship, and play strong along another All-Stater, you have earned at least a serious look at making the All-State team again. Also, there may be other players with better stats but it could have been viewed that they didn't accomplish what Anderson did with her team. Congratulations to all of the girls who made the team. It is hard to earn individual recognition in Class B so they all must be outstanding ball players to have caught the eye of the media.

I think what you are saying is that when you play as a team your stats look like a team. A good defensive team doesn't have a lot of stats. Interesting Project, you are from Bowman, I would take 2 girls from there being named all state and run whether they derserve it or not.


I could care less if we were related...I don't think she deserved it...all I'm saying

How will Brittany react when she reads your post? I hope you're not hoping for a prom date or anything.


haha believe me...I'm not hoping for a prom date from her anytime soon...I just didn't like the support that the girls showed the guys team this year because the girls were soooooooooooooooo good and the boys went on a little bit of a slump...treat others as you would want to be treated, so I am treating them like they treated the guys team...

Teryl Norton as a junior was all-state and as a senior led her team to the state championship the following year...barely made the 2nd team...had poorer stats, but sometimes you have to take into account things you won't find on the stat sheet...so things aren't always guaranteed. Always have 2 - 3 players that could legitimately say they were "hosed."

I remember a Mr. Basketball winner some 15 years ago now who wasn't good enough to play intra-mural ball in college...so sometimes I wonder how players are selected for awards..

How can you not be good enough for intramural ball? I never knew there were any limitations as who could play in an intramural league....

I agree. I also think the media that cover high school basketball doesn't really watch the games that they should, and decide who is good. They just go by the lobbying of a coach or AD. If you are the Fargo Forum, why drive out to Bowman or New Town when you can just call up a coach and see who they like.

I'm not knocking Valerie Scherr but how does she honestly get on? She is a great player, no doubt, but she wasn't even the best player on her team let alone one of the best in the state. Fettig averaged something like 15 and 10 while shooting 70+% from the field. Both Meiklejohn (Region 3 Senior of the Year) from LaMoure, Feist (District 6 Player of the Year) from Linton, and Kaiser (Argueably better then both of those two) from Linton deserved it most the Scherr. But anways, congrats to Scherr.

Just to clarify....I didn't mean to imply that the girls from Bowman and New Town didn't deserve to make the team. I just picked 2 town in western ND that was relatively far away from Fargo.

Meiklejohn got the shaft, she is a phenominal player that makes her teammates better. I do not have her stats (and would like to see them compare with these girls), but I would bet that they are better than some of these all staters. SHe doesn't only put up numbers, she leads her team, and does all the intangibles. She runs the show for her team (offense and defense), and that is way more valuable than the marginal stats some of these girls have.

I agree for the most part on this except Kaiser is not even close to the player of Meiklejohn. She only had half of a good year and Mieklejohn had 4 good years which includes her senior year.

Meiklejohn was a more aggressive and better player last season...I don't know if I've ever seen a player's free throw percentage drop from one year to the next the way her's did.

Don't get me wrong, she is a good player and she should be a good college player. But both of the district senior POY awards felt more like career achievement awards versus a single-season accomplishment. With the exception of the region tournament, I thought Gullickson from BCN had a better senior season in District 5 and I thought HMB's Fettig, Linton's Kaiser and Napoleon's Katlyn Grunefelder all had better seasons in District 6.

But, the coaches apparently wanted to make it a career achievement award this season. So be it. In the end, both players do have some decent abilities.

That is why it is called Senior Play of the YEAR, not career.
