No doubt, Key is the best player in class A basketball and hopefully he will continue to strive at the next level. I don't think he broke the 5 records that Shozen has listed? I am just basing this on recorded stats by TSSAA, so they may not be accurate?. Most points in a quarter: 23 by Trey Pearson in 2001 and 23 by Tyreke Key this year. I call that tying, not breaking. Also on the most points in a half, the record is 35 by Mike Rhodes in 1977, Key had 32 this year.

Just going by what they announced during the awards ceremony. Are you looking at the state tournament records or season records? Because from what I gathered 4 were State Tournament records and 1 was the all time single season record which is what I stated 🤔.

These are state tournament records and are listed in the back of the program. According to the radio and tv announcers, the other 2 records he was in the running for was most free throws attempted during the tournament ( record is 50 by Whitby, Key had 47) and most free throws made ( record is 41 by Amonette, Key had 37).

The one thing that I think of when the name Tyreke Key name comes up ..........  yes he is ONE of the best players in the state of Tennessee no matter what class a aa or aaa but if your like me and know this kid he has a huge heart such a sweet and kind person!!!!! I'm not coming on here to uphold his ball playing skills ( which I myself think he is one of the great players on high school level ever ) but of the way he is a great and sweet person!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's the kind of statement that any parent would love to hear about their child regardless of their athletic ability. I also very much agree with you about his on court ability. He will make Clay co. even more proud at the next level!! I've just become a big ISU fan again as I became when that other shy and polite young fellow went there several years ago.

The reason he put up as many points as he did is bc he plays in a weak division. I guarantee he wouldn't do that playing in D2AA andAAA or heck maybe even AA. The best overall team he ever played at clay would be average in these leagues. We will see what he does in college

 

Look...the young man played whomever was on the schedule and was excellent. I've been watching HS ball for a looong time, and this kid passes the eye test along with the stats. I've had the pleasure of watching in person some of the best ever from Tennessee...Bobby Parks, Steve Hamer, Sylvester Gray, Cannon Whitby, Corrie Johnson, Tony Delk, Robert Hubbs, Wayne Chism, Willie Kemp, Thaddeus Young, and the Barford kid from Jackson South Side come to mind immediately...not "name dropping", just telling you that you could easily tell how good all those guys were no matter the level of competition, and Key is right there with them. I'm not knocking the rest of the Clay County team, but without him they probably don't sniff a substate game, yet with better game planning in the last two minutes, he probably has that gold basketball polished up in Clay's trophy case. Don't hate on the kid because of who he didn't face, that was beyond his control.

    • Lol! I was being a bit facetious. 
    • Way late on this post, but I do believe that I want to at least weight in so to speak lol. I wrestled NAIA competed against some of the best wrestler over all a crossed the divisions and felt great about my college wrestling experience. I think people make the mistake in believe that wrestling some how gets easier as a sport at the smaller college divisions it doesn't the training is mostly the same. I have that on good authority from a coach who was a D1 all-American. it's more the commitment level of the competitors that is different. There is talented wrestlers that can go D1 at any level in the smaller division. sub in Sammy Shires for one he would have done fine on a DI team. He chose a work life ratio that suited him. It's not about talent it's commitment are you going to make training and studying the sport the center of your world cause that's what it takes: NO MATTER HOW TALATENTED BEFORE HAND YOU ARE.  If so then D1 is for you and striving for success at that level is for you like Mr. Palmer said it's what your willing to put in. Now coaches if you have a successful wrestler who fits that bill then by all means D1 is a great option they will see some success no matter how small, but if they are not that committed along with being talented and a killer and you know it then your doing them wrong.  You don't have to tell athletes that you don't think they are D1 tell them to keep their options open to take all their visits to consider all the divisions regardless of their goals. college recruiting visits have you most times wrestle against their current wrestlers coaches and athletes  will find out real quick it's not easy no matter where you go. That way when they make their decision it's a sound one that's based on well rounded experiences.     BobCorker, and oceansize42 I believe what you are thinking is correct but for different reasons. TN wrestler's have the talent... it's a commitment level change. TN wrestlers aren't used to having to put themselves through the level of commitment required and kills them on the D1 level.    WrestlingGod, I agree you should push kids to pursue their dreams, but not at the cost of common sense period... we have to much of that going around this country already. Dreams can turn to poison when these wrestler are not educated on what it truly takes. In TN  a kid who understands wrestling to a high level can be successful with small amounts of hard work. They think their definition of hard work is enough for D1 that is the mistake not the "talent/understanding".  Over-all though we do not celebrate NAIA,D2,D3, or Juco success in this state like other states do. GA/AL celebrates all it's college wrestlers success a crossed the  board no matter the division. Why? because it's hard... I have gone to all the divisions National championships let me tell you to be a all-American at any is impressive especially D2 or NAIA. those guys can scrap and not one of those AA's are an easy match. all of them were state placers or champs multiple times in their high school careers. does that at all sound easy to place at? TN does not give those guys enough credit or shout outs period. it's an over sight because of this D1 or it's less than meaningless   mentality on this site and in this state. GA/AL is better then us on the highest stage because they send guys to D2,NAIA,D3 ect. they come back understanding the sport better then their pervious coaches, and give back and that cycles to athletes readiness to go D1 with clearer understanding of what it takes to be competitive day 1 freshman year.             My post isn't to support one way or the other but to just consider that both sides have merit and that both work when the system in TN. by system I mean coaches are the better educated on preparing athletes for each level they want and should pursue.        
    • If you think McKenzie could've beat Riverside I have a bridge you might like to buy. 
    • Hate to hear Ricky is heading to the old folk's home!
    • By recruiting, I mean members of a coaching staff are talking to, meeting with, giving tours, to students, and their guardians, that are not zoned for their school.    there’s no way that many non Bearden kids just showed up all at once without being recruited. It can’t be a coincidence that all those kids also went through the middle school all star game your boss puts on every year.
