DULUTH NEWS-TRIBUNE ALL AREA TEAM

[puckstopper 30]

out of the 12 girls that were picked for the all area team, only 6 -7 deserved it. They were a lot of better choices, for one-Brittany Bolstad from I Falls. <p></p><i></i>

I e-mailed Nikki and asked her and she told me the all area team ran with the Mannu article on page 4C. It must not be available over the internet??!?<br><br> <p>www.rebelhockey.com</p><i></i>

THANKS!!!<br><br>Now people can add who they feel was missed... Was there an Honorable Mention list? <p></p><i></i>

[GivinYaTheBusiness]

3 people I think were missed by a long shot were Newton from GRG and the 2 Falls girls Bolstad and Ciminski. Erickson, Newton, Bolstad, and Ciminski were top 4 in scoring for most of the season. Bolstad and Ciminski were also All-State Honorable Mention. <p></p><i></i>

[ghshockeyfan]

I have to ask, as I don't know the gegraphy that well - would IFalls gals be considered part of the "Area???"<br><br>Maybe that's why they were overlooked??? <p></p><i></i>
