Here is another from a 8aa school. Nera D. White (born November 15, 1935) from Macon County Tennessee is a retired American basketball player. She is considered one of the most outstanding female players in history. She was named AAU(pre womens NCAA) All-American for 15 years in a row from 1955 to 1969. She led the Nashville Business College team to ten AAU national championships during that period. White was named the MVP of the AAU National Tournament nine times. White was "widely acknowledged as the greatest woman ever to play the game". Harley Redin (head coach of the Wayland Baptist Flying Queens, the dominant team of the 1950s) called her the "greatest woman basketball player in history". In 1957 she led the US National Team to winning the World Championship. She was named the MVP of the tournament, and voted the Best Woman Player in the World. She was enshrined in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1992 and in the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame in 1999.White is one of only two players inducted into the Naismith Hall of Fame based on AAU accomplishments, the other being Joan Crawford.

May be the best for sure. Certainly the best of her time.

She was at TTU 73-77. I saw them beat UT & Pat.

Coach Meadors was at Tech until 1986.

Easily the toughest district in Tennessee. State contenders left and right! I wish I could watch this unfold. I'll keep an eye on it though.

Yes very tough district, just don't think we have a team that can win it all this year.

Upperman vs dekalb up at 830....

You are probably right. Callie could penetrate off of the dribble and get to the rim with anyone. That's pretty incredible for someone that's no more than 5'3". Nobody really guarded her this year.,.and they played some very good teams. You couldn't press them because she could break it by herself. If they had a lead she would get fouled and hardly ever missed a meaningful free throw. Krantz was much taller. She was great at penetrating and passing out to Watson. Julie Powell was a scoring machine. I didn't see anyone guard her either.

Krantz was 5' 5 at most. My bad she was listed as 5' 7. Edited February 13, 2015 by oldkodger

I wouldn't bet on it but she is very young & may grow, ect... Sky is the limit. I also liked Megan Thompson from the state champ LA team. She controlled the whole game.
