She was the leading scorer along with Reinke (Region 1 Senior Athlete of the Year) last night with 15 points. I noticed when Tri State was pressing at the end of the game, Piatz trusted her to inbounds the ball as well. She will be a good one. Abby Duchscherer is her name. Kindred also has 2 other seventh graders that played some JV this year. So when Piatz hangs it up at the end of the year, he's not leaving the cupboard bare. They may struggle some next year, but will still be top 3 in the region I would guess.
I may be wrong but doesn't Kindred have a group of seniors that are crazy athletic? Reinke and Hiatt, solid three starters, Erickson who plays quiet and rebounds and led them to state in VB, odegaard very athletic and going on to play DII soccer etc. I think they've done pretty well over the years, and from what I understand, were an undefeated team from 7th grade on up. The 7th grader does a good job off the bench and is a great addiction, but I wouldn't slight the senior leadership and talent that has gotten this team where it is.
