ALL STATE SELECTIONS

[Yahoo3]

where can you find the honorable mentions online?

jamoz hit it on the head.

 

Larger areas with better news coverage alsot plays a factor. There are so many good publications in Middle Tennessee that it could tend to favor those in the middle and even in the east. Brian Fisk from Dyer Co. was a Mr. Basketball finalist and made the third team all state poll.

 

West Tennessee has two so callled "credible" newspapers and both of them stink.

 

As for Ms. Basketball Kendall Cavin, sowhat. State Finals, highest scoring average in the tourney, excellent career, and a super bright future ahead of her. Just to be mentioned with all of these great young players is honor enough.

I first would like to congratulate every player who has received any individual award in the post-season, and 10-15 years from now you will understand what I am about to say. Individual awards are fine, and somebody is always going to get their underwear in a wad because voting didn't go the way they felt it should, but the individual awards tarnish and people forget. The experiences the girls have are what they are going to remember. I have stashed my high school and college individual awards in my attic, but the team accomplishments, my team mates, the fun, the travel, the coaches, the hard-work, and the life-lessons we experienced as a team are what I carry with me EVERYDAY. We have many young ladies who have the opportunity to continue making memories for a life time at the next level, so instead of bickering and shedding a negative light, the adults on this board need to encourage the kids to understand that even though individual awards are nice, they ARE NOT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING and are definitely not the things that you will hold dear to your heart years from now!

 

BASKETBALL- a team sport; unless you are playing one-on-one.

it blows my mind how kendall cavin can win miss basketball and be put on all state second team.doesn't winning miss basketball mean you're the best player in the state?

The only reason it should surprise you is if you think Cavin is better than both Brittany Frazier and Krystal Horton, two 3A Miss basketball finalists.

Your comments are excellent and come from having experienced both the awards and other lessons in life. Some people never "get it". All of these girls who play so hard during the year and during post season deserve our respect and encouragement.

Congradulations to Ashley Helton for making honorable mention for the all-state team. You had a great year for Lawrence County Lady Cats.

where do you find the honorable mentions at please?

[gogold]

I found the list in the Tennessean newspaper out of Nashville. It listed the top 15 players or the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place teams. Then it had the honorable mention list. It was broken down to girls selected for east, middle, and west Tennessee.

[Guest mistermom]

I saw the TSWA All-state team in the paper. It is subdivided with A, AA, and AAA teams.

[Guest mistermom]

Concerning miss basketball being a first team selection. Kendall Cavin was voted as best AA player in the state. There may be four better than her in AAA. Plus the teams are chosen by positions. I do agree that she should have made the first team over Laura Hall but remember they are chosen by position.

And obviously, the only way Meredith Richardson was selected was because of the metro-area Doodle-Soup Tribune that splashed her name all over the state.....
