Nonetheless, these are some very talented young ladies. Several should be finalist for Miss Basketball...but we will just have to wait and see. All if I'm not mistaken are going to play at the next level

Yes, that's correct coaches nominate and vote.

Dude, for Central to go up to Riverdale and get up by 15 and lose in overtime ALMOST makes my case. This team has been threw heck and back! They are still nowhere near playing at the top of their game! MY DECLARATION REMAINS THE SAME!

Riverdale (Murfreesboro, Tenn.) stormed up from No. 40 to No. 7 on the strength of a dominating performance, including a victory over then-No. 6 Buford (Buford, Ga.) at the Peach State Invitational in Duluth, Ga. The defending Tennessee AAA champions, Riverdale, have one more important test before state playoffs begin Jan. 22 when Riverdale plays host to Memphis Central (Memphis, Tenn.). Though Niki Bray's Memphis Central squad has had a rough start to its season, it traveled all the way to Hawaii and played in the top bracket of the Nike Tournament of Champions in Phoenix. The team may not have the record to back up its early season ranking, but overlooking this talent-laden team would be a colossal mistake. And one Wild has no intention of letting his team commit.

Danielle has been on the radar for College Coaches sense the 8th grade. Her AAU / Travel team put her on the map long before Central did. She has offers from nearly every team out there, except UCONN and TENN. But nearly every conference(East to West--North to South) is represented by several of their teams making offers to her. Alliyah is pretty much in the same boat, but Danielle is a bit more higher profile. Danielle is recognized by several as being a top ten ranked player. She was 1 of 32 players to get invited to tryout for the USA U16 team this past summer(B.Graves made the team for a second time...SHE IS AWESOME). That should put into context where Danielle stands. Danielle and Alliyah are pretty much in the air, as of right now, about picking a school. Both will go major DI without a doubt.

Monday, December 27th: 9:00 Memphis East vs. Southwind 10:30 Houston vs. Evangelical Christian 12:00 Manassas vs. Marion, AR 1:30 Fairley vs. Bartlett 3:00 Germantown vs. Bolton 4:30 Byhalia, MS vs. Kirby 6:00 St. Benedict vs. Hillcrest 7:30 Collierville vs. St. Agnes St. Benedict defending champions (played in championship game the past two years(1-1), looking for back to back championships)

Do you not understand that, the so called National exposure is GOOD FOR THE STATE OF TENNESSEE if a team from here does well. Speaking of High School National Championships.....remember the Rick Insell's teams at Shelbyville. Hold up....wait a minute, I really shouldn't even reply to the nonsense you write. You have been beating that drum for sometime. So I'm thru replying to ANYTHING YOU HAVE TO SAY. Sad, Sad, Sad

ESPN Hoopgurlz.com analysis of Memphis Central (Memphis, Tenn.) Current Record (as of 12/12/10): 7-2 2009 Record: 27-4 2009 TOC: 2-2 (Smith Division) Impact Player(s): G Danielle Ballard, Jr., 5-9; W Aaliyah Whiteside, Jr., 5-11; G Nina Davis, Soph., 5-10 Key Losses: G Malaika Moore X-Factor: F Jalen O'Bannon, Jr., 6-0; W Tia Wooten, Fr., 5-9 Odds to win it all: 5:1 Synopsis: Just about everyone is back for Niki Bray's team. For two years now Memphis Central has believed it could compete nationally, and has, but slipped up in the state playoffs. This year a brutal schedule is expected to lead to the Lady Warriors being prepared for the top teams in Tennessee. The trio of Danielle Ballard, Aaliyah Whiteside and Nina Davis gives Bray plenty of quickness and explosiveness on the perimeter. If the team can get contributions from freshman wing Tia Wooten, it may be as deep as any in the country on the perimeter. The team also needs Jalen O'Bannon to play out of position in the post if it wants to hang with the top teams in the country. First Game Joe Smith Division Memphis Central vs Bishop O’Dowd (CA) 2:00pm Sat. Also Harpeth Hall is participating in the T.O.C. Mike Desper Division Harpeth Hall vs Mountain Vista (CO) 11:00am Sat.
