Class AAA Miss Basketball Ballots

[CoachT]

This thread is for Class AAA Girls: The ballots have been sent to me and other voters. Please give us your suggestions. Negative comments are not affective in this thread and are not welcome!! We want to know who to consider, not who not to consider.

 

--------------------------------------------------

 

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 1 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 8 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 15 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.

Keiana Gilbert from Columbia Central has to be considered for this honor. She leads the Lady Lions in scoring and rebounding, averaging a double-double. She is scoring better than 24 a game and snagging just under 12 boards per game. Columbia is 19-3 on the season having played very good competition outside of their district schedule with wins over Knoxville Webb and Riverdale and a last second loss to the #1 team in the country, Blackman. She exemplifies the "team player" and leads by example. She is asked to defend the opposing teams' best player at any position night in and night out, and has proven to be a player that will do the dirty work as well as scoring the basketball. She broke the Columbia Central single-game scoring record twice this year by scoring 42 against White County and then 43 just weeks later. She is nearing the 2,000 point mark for her career having scored 1,746 with 526 of those points being scored thus far this year. Had a great match-up with McDonald's All-American, Riverdale senior Alexa Middleton just after Christmas, I'll let you guys check the stats on that one... Good luck to all considerations on this prestigious award, but more importantly to your teams as the season's end draws near!

Do the nominees have to be from different areas of the state?

[Indian]

No but that is how it turns out sometime.

 

Gilbert, Middleton, Copeland.

Glad to hear that... It should definitely be the best three players in the state regardless of where they are from. If all three are in the west, so be it, but voting and nominating should not consider location.
