In 2018-'19, Class AA Cumberland County's Gracee Dishman averages 29.7 PPG, 4.1 rebounds and 3.1 steals per game this season while shooting 51.3% from the field. Dishman is a McDonald's All-American nomination this season as well. The Lady Jets are 20-4 this season.

In non-district games, Dishman averages 30.5 points per game. Non-district opponents include Class AAA #2 Maryville, Class AAA #10 White County, Class AA #9 Westview, Class A #2 Clarkrange, Stone Memorial (15-5) and Kingston (18-4). Dishman scored 40 on Kingston and 38 most recently on White County.

In District 7AA games, Dishman averages 27.2. People continuously bring up how bad District 7AA is as a negative against Dishman, but playing in that district negatively affects her season averages due to limited minutes in blowouts.

This was a good post on Dishman. She played in one of toughest districts and regions in 3AAA in the state as a freshman and sophomore. I seen her play against Bradley Central both years in regional championship and had over 25 both games and played against a guard who starts for Kentucky and then traveled to Riverdale in sub-state games back to back years and played against guard who went to Tennessee and scored 30. I also seen her play at Sevierville and play against Pisgah Alabama  with a guard going to Auburn and she had 34 against her and Pisgah had already beat Grainger and Creekwood. Dishman was also the MVP. And now shes in the toughest region in the state in 2AA. They have Cumberland, Macon, Upperman in top 4 in the state in 2AA in poll. Dishman has played against the best and gets boxed and doubled team every time Ive seen her play. Dishman deserves Miss Basketball this year and she is going to score over 3000 points and that is a great accomplishment to get when you get played like she does every game. She has the best stats in the state.

All these posts about points and stuff is good but it should be the player that leads their team to the state tournament.

Kimia Carter - Chattanooga Brainerd

32 PPG

8 RPG

5 APG

I had forgot all about Kimia until I saw her stats today on social media. Kimia is the most well round player in AA basketball, in my opinion, but she may have been forgotten about after she transferred from Bradley to Brainerd last year. She is going to Stetson, and I imagine will contribute immediately as a freshman next season. She's a good player!

Did she play when Brainerd played Meigs?

This is Miss Basketball and that's the top players in the state and sometimes things happen in games. That's the reason they keep stats in the Heisman and all other awards in every sport. Pull up TSSAA and see all the state stats through the years and it matters. The state tournament isn't here yet either.THIS IS MISS BASKETBALL AWARD and not state championship trophy. They are different awards.

A good point. To this point, a kid like John Jenkins (clearly the best HS player in TN at that time) never played in the state tournament. Doesn't mean he wasn't deserving of the award. He was definitely the BEST PLAYER....which is what this award is. 

IMO however, a team aspect should also be taken into consideration. For example, a kid on a great team may not have to average 30 every night to win. They may average 16 and 8 rebounds and contribute in every area to winning. That should definitely hold some weight in the argument in my opinion.

I think they decide the winner before the region tournaments even start, so they can't factor in state tourney runs I don't think. That can help some athletes and hurt others

Maybe she didn't play all the games, but of the ones on here they average 45 points. With 32 points listed and 10 other points listed for here through assists, that's 42. I can't believe she's part of virtually every point. Again, maybe she didn't play in some games and it throws it off.

I agree that the numbers seem off. After this was posted, I was able to find 4 or 5 box scores of Brainerd games. The most points in any game that she was credited with was 23. Hard to average 32 when your high game score is only 23. Can anybody tell us where the stats can be verified?

I seen Jenkins play in high school and he was a player but he played in a tough region and never made it but he won Mr. Basketball twice and deserved it. Im just saying that its about hard work and these players that score puts in a lot of time and extra hours in the gym and they deserve to be rewarded for it. They do it night after night . Did Heisman trophy winner play in National Championship? No he did not but he deserved it. He had the numbers and he won it. There wasn't even a candidate on Clemson and they won it. Give it to the player who deserves it for the right reasons. STATS!

29 ppg a game as a jr according to her signing bio. Not sure if that’s split with Bradley or when she switched. Seems like a very good player regardless but anyone on an average team needs to have verified home run stats to get such honors.
