Agreed and there's some others that are deserving in my opinion, but I don't  know all the criteria other than stats

I'm not sure exactly what all criteria they look at, but based off of the players selected, I would say it is an individual stat oriented criteria.

For instance, Aislynn Hayes has been the starting PG for one of the top teams in the country for the past 4 seasons and was named the state tournament MVP last year, but didn't have the big stats of the others in Triple A although she had quality stats. It appears those individual stats outweighed her accolades she got last year and guiding her team to a top 15 national rank this season.

According to this article, Kimia Carter has scored all but 200 of her teams points this year and had the assist on 170 of those.  That leaves only 30 points in the entire season that she didn’t have a hand in. Her name doesn’t appear on any of the recognized high school sports stat sites.  Do those numbers seem a bit off to anybody else?  Can somebody verify these numbers?

Trying to discredit this girls numbers? Always something with you. How about just accept results instead of making excuses.

I see in Single A from Loretto Karly Weathers,  has a Freshman ever made it to the finals before?  She’s the real deal! SEC offers before she played her first High School game.

She's legit... I wondered the same about whether or not a freshman had ever made it before, a very good player!

I have seen a few of those girls play, and all are deserving, but I was a little surprised to see her on the list.

She is a Division I player and seems to be an outstanding talent. These numbers just look off, or at least, incomplete. Couple that with a 9-8 record, most of the wins against lowest level teams, and it's a surprise she's included.
