Miss Basketball

i sat back and stewed watching the Miss Basketball discussion on NDpreps for a long time. Now let me say this first. I've nothing personal against Devils Lake senior Ashley Privatsky, nothing at all. I watched her last year in Fargo several times, and she was/is an amazing basketball player. But she's been injured most of the year.

Many on NDpreps have pled her case for Miss Basketball. Which is wrong. Even nominating her is wrong. Taking that honor away from any girl is to short-change the Miss Basketball award. If injury should not take a girl out of contention for Miss Basketball then nominate Mandi Bindas from Kindred and Kayle Roemmich from Bottineau while your at it.

where would it end?

If they want to vote her to All-State? Who stay's off? Injury or not, great player in grades 9-11 is fine. But that's no what All-state and Miss BB are about.

keep Miss Basketball's integrity

I'd be surprised to see Privratsky end up a finalist for Miss Basketball. I think she would have been the front runner for the award, but injuries happen.
