I didn't think Christine Miller would make 1st team. But I forget this is a political thing, plus-her team had a good showing at the state tournament. Good for her. Also, I wish I could have seen players like Killoran- heard lots of good things aobut her, I think she's only a junior, is that correct?
What do others think about some of these picks?
Haven't seen a lot of the players on the all-state teams, but IMO, Christine Miller was a no-brainer. Not really any major weaknesses in her game. I think having a good state tourney helped her, but she was the best player in Region 8 IMO (no disrespect to Bratlien or Paige Anderson). Teryl Norton and Kayla Roemmich were two players I thought could be first-teamers, but I know Roemmich was hurt for part of the year.
Roemmich should have been a no-brainer first teamer. She was the best player on the state championship team and she was all-state last year as well. I didn't think she missed that much and I felt she deserved it over Bender, who had good numbers considering her team had its worst season in a while. Ally Bender from MLS was a good player, but I felt she was a second teamer.
As far as Norton goes, her numbers just weren't good enough to warrant a first-team selection. I thought she had a better junior season, statistically, though her team did get farther.
