While Miller is the one that scores a lot of the points, I feel like Transou is the one that makes South Side really go.... that's not a knock or a slight towards Miller as she's a great scorer, but Transou brings a ton of energy to the game and I feel like South Side thrives off of that throughout the game.

Yes they are one of the best one two punches in the state! Makayla Transou is my cousin! She definitely is our heartbeat! Miller gives us scoring, but Transou is very capable of taking over at any given time! She has over 1200 career points! Not too bad for a #2 score! A lot of times she takes the backseat & let Miller go for 40! So I guess that’s a good problem to have!

They nominated Darby and Moore last year, why not nominate Miller and Transou. Being nominated is a honor in itself, let alone a finalist. Our news outlet doesn't push our girls as much as they do the single A and D2 girls and thats part of the issue. The committee looks at who's name is out there. Moore is all that's left. Emily Jones (D2) eliminated and Macey Lee(singleA) eliminated. There was no girl from West Tn even mentioned in the conversation. And I agree, Miller and Transou from SS and Hardaway from Bolivar should at least been nominated

I think it's safe to say that several players across the state feel they have gotten snubbed not the Miss Basketball stuff, some have legit arguments and some not so much. I have a pretty good grasp on what's out there throughout the state as far as talent and players go, and I'll admit, cutting it down to 3 players in each class is VERY tough to do. There's a ton of talent around the entire state which makes it even tougher. I'm not making excuses for anyone, but it is a tough job narrowing it down to 3 players per class.

How do you get nominated?  Who does the nominating?  Just curios, please shed some light on how it’s done if you truly know.

I agree it’s definitely our news outlets not pushing in our area! That’s a true statement!

What has happened to the Jackson Sun? We don't post scores until the day after the game and they just started covering teams and players when tournaments started. I feel like they should do more to promote high school sports in our area.

Coaches and media/newswriters in the respective area. So a player has to be highlighted to garner attention from the media. Then they send that to a "committee". Somewhere between point A and point B they come up with the winner. Absolutely no politics involved......this is sarcasm.

The paper goes to press before any of the girls games even go final.  Part of the dying art of paper journalism.  Sports section is virtually identical to Memphis paper save the one local article per day.  Sad but it is what it is...

Let’s just say to me Jackson Sun only covers one school in Jackson & that is USJ !

    • 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.
