I think that Cait McMahan will win Miss Basketball in AAA. Latoya Bullard will be up for it along with Alyssa Clark but neither I see beating Cait.

They are two totally different players. In noway are they alike. Two totally different players!

From what I hear my good friends down at the University of Florida is on her bigtime. If they can pull it off it will be a steal for them and they would have two very athletic guards coming in for next year in Latoya Bullard and Sha Brooks.

Did the Scrubs play HAHA ???

Clevelandblueraider fan don't take these people to serious. Their precious little daughters were probably part of the kids you were refering to that were in a the end of the game. I don't think by no means what you said should have been taken like it was. You were basically saying the kids that sit at the end of the bench finally got a chance to go in the game. I think some of these parents need to get off their high horse and out of their dream land and not take it personal when someone just plainily states that the kids that warm the bench got to play in this certain game. Just be happy your kids got to play cause with the schedule that cleveland is playing their may not be many more chances for them to play.

I have seen them both play and would have to take Matthews any day of the week

From what I heard from people that were at this game, Jackie Pickel put on a show.

Clark is a good ball player but don't get carried away and say she is better than Stewart. They have never played againist each other and before she goes up againist Stewart then it is best we don't compare the two of them.

Those three were the only three girls listed in the top 80 that year out of the State of Tennessee and all three are playing alot in college right now for top 15 programs. In this year Senior class three kids are listed in the top 80 and I believe all three will play alot in College, Latoya Bullard, Jessica Jackson, and Erin Ogan. It is all about getting the kids out to be seen for them to be ranked Nationally. I have a kid ranked third in my state of Tennessee rankings, Alyssa Clark, but the fact she was not put in places where she could be seen by the people that rank these kids hurt her chances at being ranked nationally. That the important part of summer basketball and kids playing in programs that are going get them seen nationally.

Not going on the Angel Fire ranking. I am going on the Nike and Adidas rankings. The angel fire rankings are done by a guy out of Kentucky that just reads newspaper articles and list them without ever watching them.

You won't have to worry about it cause don't think you have the team to win AA. You will make the state as long as you win your region but don't think you will bring the gold ball back to WV.

I watched Alyson Butler play last night once again. I really liked her up in Greeneville and thought she was top ten in this class but last night I was not nearly has impressed with her. A nice player but not top 8 in the class of 2006. I like Jana Cross as a player. Don't think I don't but put her up againist players that are bigger than her then she really struggles. A very nice AA post player but in college, players of her height will have to play the small foward and don't see her being able to do that. All I hear about is Kaitlin Dudley. I have went and watched her play three times and thought she was a pretty good ball player every time, Not great but pretty good. I have said it once and will say it again until she goes up againist the better guards at her position in the state like: Jackie Pickel, Alyson Butler, Leah Stone, Abby Lawson, and Alliesha Easley then I don't think she is top 10. She continues to play down in the little town West TN district where her only competition is Martin Westview and she puts up really good numbers playing againist players that in noway will have a chance at playing D1 basketball outside of Bellamy and Thomas. Bellamy which will be playing aau for me this summer and Thomas which has played for me the past three summers are the best two players in that area no questoins asked. In the class of 2006 National Rankings there is 5 players ranked in the top 80 players in the Nation. KeKe Stewart is rated 15 Cait McMahan is rated 20 Lakendra Phillips is rated 58 Jackie Pickel is rated 60 Bianca Thomas is rated 75

Congrats to a great player on a outstanding game. Keep up the good work

KeKe Stewart put 39 points and 21 rebounds on Jana Cross this past summer in AAU. Before you start saying she is the best in the state see how she has done againist the best in the state. Cross is a nice 5'10 AA post player. She will continue to put up good numbers againist 5'8 to 5'10 AA post players. She is not top ten in the state in this class.

85 lets hear your story since you know so much. Prove something then we will talk but stop just acting like you know something when you don't.

Only way I will be in the show is if they got me on tape out at the Nike TOC last year or the State Tournament. Those were the only two times I was with the team last year.
