Yes Sir! Kim was the best I personally saw locally until Cait McMahon at Heritage (pre-knee injuries) I'm not an expert, but those two were the ones that always jump out as the best I saw versus the competition they played in the Blount/Loudon/Monroe/Knox area. Dawn Marsh at Alcoa was another standout.

If you want to include way way back....Near White from Macon County. Look her up on wikenpedia. In both Naismith and women's basketball hall of fame. Famed LSU coach Sue Gunter who coached two Olympic teams says she the best she ever saw, ever.  She was the first player ever, male or female, to dunk the basketball in international play. Worth looking her up.

Three very good ones from Meigs, Rachel Powell, Pam Irwin, and Misty Greene.  Trivia:  They all played in the 1996 NCAA National Championship game.  Powell and Irwin with Georgia and Greene with Tennessee.  First of 3 straight rings for Greene.

Cool story.

Back in the 6 on 6 era Dee Dee Cook from Chapel Hill was one of the best

Nera white from macon county

Willie you forgot the head of your team. Paige Redmond, played for Bradley Central and also Vanderbilt. And we also need to include her teammate Amy Geren...she went and played at Clemson and broke the 3 point record there. These 2 are some of the best!

this is going way back...late 60's a gal named Sally Smith from Waverly I believe...she could fill it up...and that was pre-3 point shot days....

I loved watching Nina Davis play she was 5'11 playing forward but man she was a monster on the glass. Glad to see her help coach at MTSU now.
