If you're not good enough to make your team one of the best in the state, then you're not a Miss Basketball finalist... sorry.....

This statement furthers the transfer epidemic. If I’m good and want to be the best in the state I need to go where I’ll have a good supporting cast, not my hometown...

Unpopular opinion coming in.... Mr/Miss Basketball, Mr. Football, really doesn't matter. Way too much importance is put on it and there is absolutely no way anyone is watching a majority of the t

This is just my two cents but if football has 5 semi-finalists and 3 finalists in each class with 6 classes why can’t basketball do the same with 3?  Makes no sense to me.

Absolutely, not taking anything away from the girls. They are all good players. However, I know for a fact there are 5+ girls in East Tennessee more skilled, better players and just absolutely upstand

I'm not real sure who you're referring to about not being the best player on their team....

Also, some of those left out are on Top 5 teams in the polls. Some on Top 10. 
 

And I’m not going to name names of those who received recognition but in that category. I do not want to take anything away from them. They are good players.

I'm saying, if there is a kid good enough to be considered for Miss Basketball, then she should make that team one of the best teams in the state in its classification.

Karly Weathers blows this mindset apart in Single A.  She plays for her small town, and Loretto wouldn't even be a ranked team without her.  Single A is spot on.  There are no better A players in the state than Tess, Chloe, and Karly.

Add Khyla Wade-Warren in AA to this statement as well... McNairy Central wouldn't be in top 4 of district without her... and with her, they're a top 10 team in AA....

Agreed. Single A is correct.

I did not realize they were ranked. Did not see them on TN Report Coaches Poll or AP. However, she is deserving.

Idk if i agree with this statement. 14AA is not that great aside of South Side. I think they still are top 4 without her. The issue I have with this nomination in AA is, as I have stated on another post, I have seen 3 other players in AA the last few years with way better stats and way better character and not be pushed as much as I have seen her pushed this year. I hate that media and whoever else has a hand in this only seems to push the kids who have signed D1 or play on a "big name" AAU team. I question her character after seeing some of her actions this summer and and in a couple regular season games.

Honestly haven’t seen her. But I think character should play a role in selections. The other in AA are great players on great teams. Maybe not best on their team/in their district but certainly great players.

According to the article I just read, "The Mr. and Miss Basketball awards are given to the best boys and girls basketball player in each of the state's five classifications. it is based on their regular season achievement. Academics and character are also taken into consideration."

"High school basketball coaches and media members nominated the finalists and a statewide committee of sports writers selected the winners."

      school closing in Shelby county

      By Southtowner · Posted

      That was after the 2nd year of a 4 year cycle.  Since Covid we have been on a 2 year cycle.  So, there really isn't a "mid cycle" reclassification this time.   Idk if there's anything in place to address the issue of a school closing.  My guess is, nothing can be done.  This would be akin to the 1st year of a 4 year cycle, where a school has the 20% +/- but not allowed or even have the option to move up or down.

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      By thegreatwhite1 · Posted

      No reasonable lawyer would take up this case. I am not a lawyer, but I know school law in and out.  Similar situations just like this play out thousands of times each year across the country, even at the college level (i.e. Ole Miss)  The Plaintiff's never win...ever.  If I am wrong, please provide a legal precedent for me. I will be waiting.  https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/39431892/judge-drops-ole-miss-player-lawsuit-lane-kiffin

      It used to be, I think it still is, a change of 20% +/- gives reason to reclassify. Schools can choose to play up classifications but not down. Here is the mid cycle reclassification info on TSSAA.org When Memphis East changed from a regular public school to an "all-optional" school in 2017 the would've dropped to A but chose to stay in AAA in basketball (baseball, and softball) Penny was still coaching there and with the players they had they would've beaten A teams by 40 and slept walked to the championship. Other Memphis schools stayed in their classifications (mostly in basketball) until the next reclassification cycle. Of course this is the same time that a 4th class was added basketball.
