Jada Guinn has some really nice stats for her career at Oak Ridge and should be considered for Miss Basketball in 3AAA. Gracee Dishman has had a great career at Cumberland County and I seen her play as a freshman against 3AAA Riverdale in Sub State and as a Sophomore in sub state and scored over 30 both games and then has played really well in 2AA the last two years since they went to 2AA. I think she is a front runner in 2AA Miss Basketball. I also like Chole Moore from Greenfield in1A. I saw her and Dishman play against each other in AAU this summer and they both put on a show. It was a very good game. Whitson from Dobbs-Bennett in 3AAA has very good stats and has over 2000 points and 1000 rebounds and is a very good player and fun to watch. She has had a great career there. I really like Jayla Hemingway at Houston 3AAA and seen her play AAU and is fun to watch but I don't know her stats. Cassie Monday at Clarkrange in 1A is a great player to consider for a nomination. Riverdale in 3AAA has Aislynn Hayes and ive seen her play and is a very good player but I haven't seen her stats but I know she was nominated with Dishman, Whitson, Hemingway, Williams, Waggoner for McDonalds All-American. Don't Know anything about Williams from Arlington but have seen Waggoner play at Ensworth and she can play and deserves a chance.

Class A definitely Deserving in my opinion, no certain order: 

Chloe Moore and Tess Darby (Greenfield), Aaliyah Brown (Pickett), Kenzie Arms and Taylor Strong (Clay Co)

How you get that list to 3, I am not sure haha. 

 

Class AA: Keely Carter/Jalyn Gregory (Macon County), Gracee Dishman (Cumberland), Wykle from South Green. IMO Wykle is a tough kid to beat for this award. A 2 time state champion, 4.0 GPA, ultimate competitor, and amazing stats, as well as 2,000 career points while missing a complete season. IMO, shes a tough kid to beat. Dishman will end up with 3,000 in her career though, so although the team stats haven't been as good, 3,000 is amazing. Tough to ever get that.

In no particular order:

A - Chloe Moore, Tess Darby, Karly Weathers

Will probably come down to Moore and Darby, but their votes could split and Weathers win it as a Freshman.

AA - Keeley Carter, Gracee Dishman, Braelyn Wykle

Have watched all of these play and depends on everyone's definition of Miss Basketball;  could see any of them get it.

AAA - Jayla Hemmingway, Jada Guinn, Courtney Whitson

Again, have watched all three play and depends on voter's definition of Miss Basketball.

She's a great player, who is carrying that team. (Some young players are making strides, though). The competition is always tough for these awards. I hope she gets nominated, at the very least. That and win the AA Championship and I believe she will be happy. South Greene players put the team first. Always have.

I have watched Riverdale basketball all my life and they have been dominating and Hayes should be in Miss Basketball. And I have seen Dishman play at Riverdale twice in the sub-state against both Hayes girls her sophomore and freshman year and averaged around 30 and that's in 3AAA. So her team has done very well and Riverdale won the state and last year they lost to Macon in regionals and she had 34. Cumberland County has had a lot of success in 3AAA and 2AA. Wykle has had a great career but Dishman has played at a high level of competition so everyone needs to remember that. Riverdales Hayes deserves a chance because she has really played the best of the best and has led her team to a lot of wins against nationally ranked competition. I try to comment on players that I have seen play and these girls can play.

That AA district Cumberland County plays in is a real high level of competition.LOL.  Most of those games are over after the first quarter.  

Cumberland county just kicked the stuffing out of white county at Sparta, and Dishman had 38, which is more than she’s scored in any district game, since she only gets to play less than half of each of those games

Cumberland county’s non-district schedule includes 10 games against ranked teams.  I challenge you to find a tougher non district schedule.  Dishman’s average is higher against the ranked teams than district opponents.  Do a little research or actually watch some games before you criticize a player or team, so you can avoid looking so ignorant.

The post referred to DISTRICT teams!  Another poster commented on how high the level of competition was for Cumberland.  Go do a little research on the combined records and strength of schedule of the DISTRICT teams that CC plays.   If you weren't such a CC homer you might realize that the level of DISTRICT competition is not on the same level as 8AA or your former 6AAA.  There is no way that your DISTRICT schedule is getting you ready for a possible game with Macon or Upperman in the region.  CC will not be able to speed up Macon or Upperman.

    • Lol! I was being a bit facetious. 
    • Way late on this post, but I do believe that I want to at least weight in so to speak lol. I wrestled NAIA competed against some of the best wrestler over all a crossed the divisions and felt great about my college wrestling experience. I think people make the mistake in believe that wrestling some how gets easier as a sport at the smaller college divisions it doesn't the training is mostly the same. I have that on good authority from a coach who was a D1 all-American. it's more the commitment level of the competitors that is different. There is talented wrestlers that can go D1 at any level in the smaller division. sub in Sammy Shires for one he would have done fine on a DI team. He chose a work life ratio that suited him. It's not about talent it's commitment are you going to make training and studying the sport the center of your world cause that's what it takes: NO MATTER HOW TALATENTED BEFORE HAND YOU ARE.  If so then D1 is for you and striving for success at that level is for you like Mr. Palmer said it's what your willing to put in. Now coaches if you have a successful wrestler who fits that bill then by all means D1 is a great option they will see some success no matter how small, but if they are not that committed along with being talented and a killer and you know it then your doing them wrong.  You don't have to tell athletes that you don't think they are D1 tell them to keep their options open to take all their visits to consider all the divisions regardless of their goals. college recruiting visits have you most times wrestle against their current wrestlers coaches and athletes  will find out real quick it's not easy no matter where you go. That way when they make their decision it's a sound one that's based on well rounded experiences.     BobCorker, and oceansize42 I believe what you are thinking is correct but for different reasons. TN wrestler's have the talent... it's a commitment level change. TN wrestlers aren't used to having to put themselves through the level of commitment required and kills them on the D1 level.    WrestlingGod, I agree you should push kids to pursue their dreams, but not at the cost of common sense period... we have to much of that going around this country already. Dreams can turn to poison when these wrestler are not educated on what it truly takes. In TN  a kid who understands wrestling to a high level can be successful with small amounts of hard work. They think their definition of hard work is enough for D1 that is the mistake not the "talent/understanding".  Over-all though we do not celebrate NAIA,D2,D3, or Juco success in this state like other states do. GA/AL celebrates all it's college wrestlers success a crossed the  board no matter the division. Why? because it's hard... I have gone to all the divisions National championships let me tell you to be a all-American at any is impressive especially D2 or NAIA. those guys can scrap and not one of those AA's are an easy match. all of them were state placers or champs multiple times in their high school careers. does that at all sound easy to place at? TN does not give those guys enough credit or shout outs period. it's an over sight because of this D1 or it's less than meaningless   mentality on this site and in this state. GA/AL is better then us on the highest stage because they send guys to D2,NAIA,D3 ect. they come back understanding the sport better then their pervious coaches, and give back and that cycles to athletes readiness to go D1 with clearer understanding of what it takes to be competitive day 1 freshman year.             My post isn't to support one way or the other but to just consider that both sides have merit and that both work when the system in TN. by system I mean coaches are the better educated on preparing athletes for each level they want and should pursue.        
    • If you think McKenzie could've beat Riverside I have a bridge you might like to buy. 
    • Hate to hear Ricky is heading to the old folk's home!
    • By recruiting, I mean members of a coaching staff are talking to, meeting with, giving tours, to students, and their guardians, that are not zoned for their school.    there’s no way that many non Bearden kids just showed up all at once without being recruited. It can’t be a coincidence that all those kids also went through the middle school all star game your boss puts on every year.
