Now, now, comments like that will get Heimer all upset again!

I took radball's comment to simply mean that Freije played the entire game against Thompson, which she did. You could interpret the quote he/she was responding to to read that she did not i.e., Freije didn't play against Ryan/Thompson/Valley City/and North Star.
From radball's earlier posts, he/she is perhaps deserving of a little piling on. However, it bothers me that the "favorite player", so to speak, seems to get drawn into it as well.
B-oldtimer wrote:LE Vs. Thompson was at very beginning of the season for both teams. I was there LE pretty much controlled the game for first 3 quarters and into the 4 th quarter LE got physically tired missed several ducks down the clutch that would have sealed game for them. Give Thompson credit they played hard and came through in clutch down at the end of the game. I believe both these teams have improved immensely from then so it would be very close game if they should meet again. Thompson has much easier path to state than LE does. Region 4 is loaded with talent in both district 7 and 8 with Northstar, Rolla, Carrington, and LE besides Rollete, Fourwinds, and Harvey WC that can put good game together that could possibility upset anyone of the above team on given night.

LE is the definate favorite at this time, about the onyly top team that is healthy.
Northstar #2 but with Heisler dealing with an injury, I would think it will be difficult unless she is 100%.
Rolla #3, I know they just lost two games last week, and one of those huge to LE. However I did see this game and it was much closer than it appeared. LE had a 20 point lead at the end of the 1st, and Rolla cut it to 9 i believe at halftime. They then got it down to under 5 about half ways through the 3rd and Vandal started to cramp (she went down with 5 Minutes to go in the 4th and did not play again, that is when LE really ended the game). No luck getting past 1st round of Regionals without a healthy Vandal. Not sure what happened against Rugby.
Carrington #4, could be #2 if the health issues stay the same.
Have to give the nod to HWC for #5 over Rolette/Wolford at this time, just because Selvig is out with a concussion, not sure if she will return or not.

Freije may not be at 100% yet, but the ankle did not seem to bother her in the Rolla game.

I'm looking at my post, and I can't find where I put a specific name in(yes I have in the past, just like other people have put specific names in). Just wondering what happens when you have a person that has a high average of points(lets say 25) and your team holds them to(lets say 13 or less) and the team puts up more points(lets say 12) than the other team. What usually happens? Everyone gets so fixed on a individual's POINTS, that they never look at the defensive side of that person. My self like to look at the defensive side of the ball and when its a close game who is going to step up and get a stop or key position.,,,, I hope that Heisler is ok, I hope everyone is in the best shape come this weekend. And I wish everyone good luck!

I will stay with my picks however, putting LE as the top dog.
Heisler really gutted it out on Saturday night (give her lots of credit). She played well, but still didn't look 100% to me. This really makes tonights District 8 championship game huge. I don't think Northstar or Rolla want to meet up with LE in the opening round.
NRS, props to you!!!
I didn't see the game against NRS and LE, but the young girl from Thompson must of transferred to NRS to shut down Frieje the way they did.
