[size=2]Jalen and his parents moved to Parshall last year after he attended school at Four Winds. Marlee lives with her grandmother, Lorraine Siegefield, in Mandan.[/size]
Marlee, a junior, has amassed more than 1,500 career points - most accrued at Four Winds.
[color=black][size=2]Playing ball with the Braves has been a perfect fit for Jalen. He wanted to play with the Packineau twins.[/size][/color]

Apparently the Finley family didn't move to Mandan at all, but rather Parshall. Marlee was the only member of her immediate family to move to Mandan.;)
The Finley family moved to Parshall so that Jalen, could play with his desired teammates - no mention of educational advantages or required job transfer.:shock:[color=black][size=2]Playing ball with the Braves has been a perfect fit for Jalen.

So, it's not quite a reach to imagine that Marlee merely went to live with her Grandmother so that she could play in the premiere high school girls basketball program in the state.

Marlee did a fine job for Mandan and Jalen for Parshall. some people are so jealous of the win by Mandan and bring up the recruiting accusations and act like Marlee won the championship for Mandan and it wasn't fair. BOO-HOO Marlee was a part of the team and the teamwork that won the championship. This championship was open for any and all the teams in the WDA - Mandan's "hard" work paid off in the end. All of the girls work mighty hard - Marlee has worked hard to earn that spot on the team, just as anyone else had to.
Way to go for both teams of the "BRAVES"

If this should happen, I suppose the WDA Coaches will be meeting again at the same time next year to complain about Mandan's program! WDA Coaches get a program and start working with your girls during the off season!
i agree also RECRUITING DOES NOT VIOLATE ANY RULES people should figger that out eventually but it doesnt seem to happen so lets see shauna and marlee are cousins the roemichs and the kielpinskis are cousins that would be a good reason to move i also heard from a kielpinski that bottineaus coach told the roemmich boys they lost them a game and then stopped playing them so that is a good reason to leave also

I have 2 kids who are not in HS yet but they are going to play for Four Winds HS no matter what. I don't care if Warwick or DL or any other school had a nationally recognized programs and FW is in the cellar. I have a strong bond to my community and it just doesn't seem right to me for kids to want to go or are pushed to attend a distant school for sports glory.

Langdon has been been charged with recruiting violations, I told ya recruiting is illegal... but of course a mandan person would say it is legal
