Very well said. Very political.

North Dakota should seriously just get rid of these all-district, all-conference, etc. teams. It's way too political and some of the best players never make it because all the teams need to be represented and coaches don't vote for more than 2 players from a team (for all-conference). It's an absolute joke.
Not taking anything away from these girls. Congrats on your accomplishment, but I just had to let off a little steam.

StraightShooter,
I agree that the best are not always selected for these teams. I was once a player on good team loaded with weapons and many considered me a role player; however, those who truly knew our team understood that if I was on most other teams I would be considered a star and I did more for the team that met the eye. That being said good players must be able to sacrifice the good of the team for nominee teams that are based only on opinion. While Bethany Voss and Casey Allmaras are both very deserving players, Chelsey Anderson is not one that was voted on by mistake. She is dynamic and makes a lot of plays and is very deserving. Anyone who has watched her play understands how good she is. The main thing is for players not to put too much stock into not being listed. It is a good individual accomplishment though!

Rachel Osmundson was well deserving of the All-Conference nomination.
She was key to Oak Grove's defensive side of the game early in the year...and then her shooting came alive. Osmundson and Holt lit up the gym many nights with their outside shooting and great defensive plays.
Osmundson's Season Stats (minus the district tourney because they are not online yet):
12.9 ppg, 5.5 apg, 4.0 spg, 42% FG
Osmundson's Wild Rice Conference Game Stats:
14.3 ppg, 5.4 apg, 4.4 spg, 46% FG
Top Games for Osmundson:
vs. Maple Valley: 31 points (13-23 from the floor including 5-9 on 3-Pointers), 10 assists, 7 steals, 8 rebounds
vs. F-C-T 19 points (6-7 from the floor incl. 3-4 on 3-Pointers), 10 assists, 5 steals
@ Hankinson 15 points (6-11 from the floor incl. 1-3 on 3-Pointers), 8 assists, 10 steals

Those assists numbers are ridiculous. I'm sorry but there is no way someone who shoots 23 times in a HS game also has 10 assists unless OG's shooters were hitting shots at an insanely high rate. Oak Grove has been known for inflating their assists numbers in the past.
