Class AAA Mr. Basketball Nominations

[CoachT]

Sportswriters across the state need your input about players in this classification. Please keep in mind: Negative comments do not impress voters. Positive comments about your choices may have an impact.

 

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 to the top girls and boys in five classifications of the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association on the floor of Murphy Center on the campus of Middle Tennessee State University on Tuesday, March 7 at 7:00 p.m. A reception for the finalists and their families will be held prior to the awards presentation.

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 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 nominate up to three players in each classification for the awards. It is not necessary to nominate three players in every category, but that is your option. Also, please take into account the statewide aspect of this award as you consider your nominations.

In order for your ballot to be counted in the selection process, it must be submitted no later than noon on FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3.

Yep, improvement shows a dedicated player with a growing set of skills. Also, has been the player that the # 2 ranked Wildcats, unbeaten in the state of Tennessee, have turned to with EJ Bush injured and 2016 Class AAA Mr. Basketball nominee Tee Higgins off and on again  participation. A deadly 3 ball shooter, in your face defender, runs very well on the court are just a few of supreme talents.

Let us get real, Memphis has so many talented players there should be two categories for Mr. Basketball....Mr. Tennessee Basketball Memphis and Mr. (the rest of) Tennessee Basketball.

 

I am only slightly kidding.

That's true it should be 3 kids from Memphis up for AAA Basketball every year.
