My vote goes to Matt Parton from Knoxville Catholic. He's a 4 year starter with a record of 80-20 since his freshman year. He's an excellent ball handler and has improved his 3 point shooting ++ he's a lock down defensive stopper. He has shut down several players already named on this post. He single-handedly has beaten Farragut and Powell along with 10 other teams while facing a box and 1 defense alot of the time. He has done this without much offensive help while some of these other guys mentioned have lots of help. Have any of these other guys taken their team to the State Tourney the past two years? Tony White isn't the best point guard in East TN, you also have to pass and defend in my estimation to be the best. He's the best SCORING guard in East TN. Jared Laverdiere is top notch also. By the way, when Parton and Laverdiere played against the Tennessee Travelers this summer they combined for 34 points 1 turnover. Tony White and Cameron Sharp had 8 points and 10-12 turnovers combined. Tony also played down a year due to his age and didn't compete with the upcoming Seniors. Should have played with his class for more accurate assesment of where he stands as a senior.

I thought the exhibition season was over too. Did Halls play in their practice gear? Don't feel bad though, Farragut has done the same thing to Catholic saying they don't call in the Hall of Fame Games since they're only "exhibtions" (but we've beaten them 3 straight times). The way I see it, if you're wearing your school jerseys, there's paid refs and admissions, it's a real game. There's no shame in losing those 2 games BUT hiding them to maintain your rankings is a little cheap! Oak Ridge should win tonight by 8-10

Heard this from a bunch of Refs harassing their buddies at a regional tourney game. Hey. Footlocker just called and said your break ended 15 minutes ago. Hey, how could you make that call, he doesn't even look like he's your kid

I agree in 15years of watching girls basketball that game may have been the BEST EVER!

By Susan Farris do you mean Susan Starnes? She was an incredible high school player in a very restrictive program. She played on an AAU Nationals team that I helped coach and did she ever shine. She could have played anywhere in the country but chose to stay at Tusculum. I think she could have been a D-1 All-American. I'd love to see the article you did about her.
