Class A Miss Basketball Nominations

Not trying to start a back and forth with you but stats don't win the award. Scotts Hill had an amazing young lady graduate a while back with virtually 3,000 points (2,998-2,999), with monster rebound and assist stats...voted final three in both her junior and senior seasons, "losing" to different winners, and went on to lead Union University to a national championship or two. If she were chosen no one could have argued against, but she was not...she also led the state in stats. One of the other ladies that was named Miss Basketball also played at Union...never had the success that her runner up achieved. The difference was where they played...the winner's school had already produced two or three Miss Basketball winners, and had an amazing run of state championship teams prior to her career there. The year before (junior season), the winner of the award's team and Scotts Hill played a home and home...both were close games but she outplayed the winner badly in one game and comfortably in the other. Lot's of factors are involved in naming Miss Basketball...stats are important, but not the determining factor.

I do agree that a great deal of the process is political. I was just trying to make a case that the stats should be strongly considered in the decision. Sometimes it seems stats aren't a consideration but where you are from is a big factor or who your coached by is more important. There are several young ladies that deserve to be recognized. If I had a vote, mine would go to Ali Golden for Class A Miss Basketball.

Taylor Lamb - South Greene

Mary Grace Davis - Dresden

Chelsea Perry - Middleton

Nice try for recognition but seriously, Davis (Dresden) arguably isn't the best player on her team, much less district, and forget region. Nice kid though, who WILL make the All-District team, but we're talking about Miss Basketball. Use your head and not your heart. She's NOT the best player in single A by far. I do applaud your effort though.

Laker(20-45) you need to do a little more stat checking and watching of games before you comment. Davis' stats are in the same mix with the ones listed in this forum for the 2016-17 season and defended the Sun's proclaimed best in 7a and sectional tournament play. She also had the only double-double in single A at the Boro I believe. I'm not saying she is the only one just that she's in the mix. I've seen many of the one's listed here in this forum and she's right there with them in my opinion. Just my opinion, though.

Taylor Lamb Avg. A double-double for the entire tournament (17 pts and 10 reb a game). Had double-double against the 2 other best A team in the state in Pickett Co. And Clarkrange.

The 1A game had two Miss Basketball players the one that won (Meadows) and the one that should've won (Lamb). No way Meadows should have beaten Lamb !

Just because you homer's think it doesn't mean that's the way it is.  Both are very good players and both were very deserving.  Lamb won the state championship, I'd say she will take that over any individual award as would Meadows.  Quit your whining and suck it up buttercup...  :popcorneater:

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
