Miss Basketball Re-Visited

[turnip]

Now that the Class B Girls Tournament is over, and Class A well underway, who will be the picks for Miss Basketball? There was a list of girls circulating a few weeks ago but a lot of people were waiting until after the Class B tourney to name their picks. We know it's up to the media but what are people thinking?

In my opinion if anyone wins it from class b this year it will be benz from kidder county. Not sure what class A brings to the table though.

Eli Benz is a great BB Player but I think there is some stiff competition in the state especially from the west - Region 7 to be specific Bohrer, Opp, Sadowsky, Hardy are all heavy contenders from the class B...

I'm just going off the fact that she (Benz) was named class B senior player of the year. Has there ever been a class B player that won Miss Basketball, but didn't win class B player of the year?

NO...not for Ms. Basketball

I think the candidates will be Benz (KC), Bohrer (Hazen), and Heier (Ray) from Class B, and Burck (South), Buck (Century), and Peterson (Century) from Class A. Burck should win this year, and her teammate will be a candidate next year.

scoobyx2, great pics, those 3 class B had girls had great careers and well deserving. Its also nice too here someone give credit to the west girls. It is really hard to get noticed out here. All great candidates, just to bad Heier ( Ray) never made a state tourney really fun to watch, on both ends of the court and they did not have a good enough team (really young) so most teams defended her with 2 and sometime 3 players, and on defense she always defended the other teams best player. Very unselfish too, she only took about 15 shots a game. She should do well at Williston state next year play with a really good team.

Congratulations, Eli Benz - the 2009-2010 Miss Basketball. Somebody on one of these posts said Eli brings "class to the game" and she does.

Any one of the five girls nominated was deserving. Congratulations to all of the girls basketball players - both Class A and Class B - for providing us with great entertainment this season!

Eli Benz is a very classy young lady, and she's got just about the longest hair I've ever seen. She comes from great roots, her Dad was a great basketball player at Bismarck St. Marys

[turnip]

Eli's dad, Miles (Buck) was a great all-around athlete at Bismarck St. Mary's in the early 1980's. He was one of the best football players to ever come out of any of the Bismarck schools - powerful and extremely quick. Her uncle Larry was one of the best basketball players in the state in the mid 1970's, also out of Bismarck St. Mary's - cat-like moves and a vertical jump unbelievable for his height. So, yes, she has "great roots"!

She really was a great high school player, does anyone know where she is playing college ball at
