Mr Basketball Thread

[CoachT]

Please make your argument for who you think should be nominated for the 2011 Mr Basketball awards. Media from all over the state will be viewing this thread and are looking for reasons to vote for players so negative comments don't carry much weight here. Ballots must be faxed on or before Feb 7th.

Press release from TSSAA:

 

The Mr. and Miss Basketball Awards will be presented to the top girls and boys in five classifications of the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association at the state basketball championships in March.

 

This group is to include three finalists for Miss Basketball and three for Mr. Basketball in each classification. The winners of the coveted award are to receive the distinguished Mr. and Miss Basketball trophy with the other finalists being presented plaques.

 

The awards will be presented for each classification prior to the championship game awards presentation for each class, respectively. The presentation of the Mr. and Miss Basketball Awards for Division II will be given on Saturday, March 5 at Allen Arena on the campus of Lipscomb University in Nashville.

 

The presentation of the Miss Basketball Awards for Division I, Classes A, AA, and AAA will be given during each championship awards ceremony for each class on Saturday, March 12 at the Murphy Center on the campus of Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro.

 

The presentation of the Mr. Basketball Awards for Division I, Classes A, AA, and AAA will be given during each championship awards ceremony for each class on Saturday, March 19 at the Murphy Center on the campus of Middle Tennessee State University.

 

Any player at any of our member schools is eligible to receive votes, and I would encourage you to take a moment and give careful consideration to any player with whom you are familiar and who you think deserving of the Mr. or Miss Basketball Award.

 

These votes are a nominating process only. A selection committee that will include representatives from each area of the state will meet to vote on the finalists and winner of the Mr. and Miss Basketball Award for each classification. You may submit the names of up to three players in each classification for the awards. It is not necessary to vote for three players in each category, but that is your option. And, please, consider the statewide aspect of this voting process.

Trent Boles would be a good pick

[ScoutTeam]

Hollis from White Stations should be it in AAA. Has had a much better year than Thomas and has beaten Melrose twice.

[midtensportsfan]

in Class A

 

Godwin from Jackson County should be on it. averages a double double or close to it with a 20 point average per game, either leading or in the top 5 in assist, rebounding and shot blocking in the district.

 

Grace from RBS should have a chance to be on it. averages over 20 a game and does everything for that team.

 

Trent Boles from Clay County. mvp of district last year and leading scorer for Clay Co.

[andone]

Class AA - Jared Nave a senior from Cannon County. Nave is helping lead CC to one of its best seasons this decade. He averages 17.2 pts per game, 7 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.1 steals per game.

I love Hughes as a player and he certainly deserves consideration for 1-A Mr. Basketball. However, is he really averaging 30 ppg???

Class A - Malcolm Smith, Clarksville Academy

Class AA - Kendal Anthony, Liberty Tech

Class AAA - Andre Hollis, White Station

 

Not real sure on the AA though... How has the kid from Knoxville Carter done this year...? Kendren Johnson is also very tough...
