I would say Bailee Pierce from Hettinger-Scranton is not in the Player of the Year running, as there are some tremendous athletes and players in the running for that award, but she is definitely an all-state player. She is averaging 15.7 points and 7 rebounds a game facing a chaser, junk defense, almost every night. She is currently shooting 47% from the 3 point line going 53 of 111 from beyond the arc and has a 4 to 1 assist to turnover ratio. She is a 4 year starter that has a Region 7 team record of 44-3 in those 3+ seasons.
She is the leader of a very young and inexperienced Night Hawk team that is currently 11-3 on the season. Region 7 does not have a powerhouse team this year, Bowman County may be trending to that level, but has 8 teams that I would say are above average. There are very few easy nights in Region 7 games.
