Nudell broke a record, and still that many finalists. Not to mention some of those other finalists received first-place votes.
In the end, Jacobson led her team to three titles, right?, and how many straight wins?

Does anyone feel like Jacobson would have gotten Maple Valley to State with the talent surrounding her? Or that Nudell wouldn't have won 3 championships with the talent around her Shanley? Individually, Nudell had the team on her back for six years since she was the best player in that school since being in seventh grade.
It also surprises me that Jacobson and Nudell didn't receive every single first place vote. There is no doubt all six were deserving to be candidates but I don't know how you don't vote for one of the two for the top basketball player in the state of ND.
Nonetheless, I wish them both the best of luck at NDSU. Together, go chase Summit titles!

I actually do disagree with several of your points.
I think it is possible that Nudell and Rotunda could have won 3 straight titles, but I think it would have been unlikely.
I am not sold that Askvig or Rotunda are worse players than Nudell either. Both received significant D1 interest. Askvig is going to be the same 3 Time 1st Team All State player that Nudell is.
I think Sarah is highly impressive, but there have been instances where I thought Rotunda played better in a specific game. Maybe a voter happened to watch Shanley play 3 games and in 2 of them, Rotunda played better.
I think that the correct winner was picked, and wish great success to all of these athletes in their collegiate careers.
I dislike that we are acting like Jacobson and Nudell are on completely different levels than Askvig or Rotunda. I definitely think Jacobson is the best overall player, but to play devil'a advocate, Nudell is very similar to Regan Dennis of Bismarck Century.

After all, this isn't Class B coaches trying to pick a region senior athlete and shrugging and just giving it to two players as a shared award so nobody feels bad.
