I am obviously a Mandan fan; however, I have gained more and more respect for Steph Pedersen each game.

Meghan was on fire! that was one of the best shooting displays I have ever seen in a HS girls basketball game! 10 - 15 from behind the arc! Alley Fisher also made 3 for a school record of 13 three point baskets... The funny thing about it was North stayed in a 2-3 zone and allowed South to keep making 3s, Why they didnt change defenses is beyond me!

That would have been a great game to watch. I can't understand how she was left alone to sit out there and keep shooting??????

She's a good player, but really needs to pick up her defense. In the BHS-Mandan game, with Collins out with foul trouble, nobody went out and stopped the 3 point shooters from BHS. If she could give Collins a little help, they could do very well tournament time.

Now that you say that I completely agree with you. I think back to other games also and her defensive help would have been very beneficial to Mandan.

She is averaging 4.5 steals per game . I never seen her play but the stats show her defense is pretty solid.What else can you ask for from a sophmore

I haven't seen her play either but from what I know about Mandan is that if you don't play defense, you dont play at all. Now you guys have seen her play and I respect that I am just surprised that she would play for Amundson if she was lacking defense.

I think was Scoobyx2 was referring to was the fact the BHS hit 9 3's on the perimeter and they were wide open. One BHS player actually had time to adjust her feet, spin the ball back to herself and aim and shot and there was no Mandan player near her.

Mandan's guards did a really poor job of covering BHS's perimeter and did not show the typical Mandan pressure. All of the 3's were uncontested. Mandan is a different team when Collins is out of the game. There is such a different level between her and the rest of the girls on the floor.

If what you are saying is true, it seems to me that mandan should have changed the defense up and not let the bhs gaurds sit behind the arc. Maybe you guys should put a little blame on the coaching staff instead of all the players

True, as fans we do not know what goes on behind the scene's. We just see a player wide open and I have only seen a few games this year. I think we are just saying it is not characteristic of Mandan teams.

I don't remember ever seeing a Mandan game in previous years that allowed so many wide open shots. I mean wide open, that one BHS girls actually spun the ball back to herself! Mandan was always known for their aggressive defense and on the BHS game, you only see it when Collins is on the floor.

I am by no means trying to criticize Steph Pedersen. Like I said, I have gained a lot of respect for her. I think it was said well when someone said Mandan is a different team when Ali Collins is off the court. I think Steph is a great player. I know she is young, but she would be the perfect person to pull the team together when Ali is in foul trouble. They need to find that person or people to create that swarm when Ali is not in the game.

I don't there is any "blaming" here. The topic is "Best Sophomores", and we are discussing who is considered the best sophomores in the state. Pedersen is a good young player, but needs develop her instincts on defense to be considered one of the best. There are some things that coaches can't teach. The player just has to want to play D 100% of the time to be really good.
