alysha clark is easily one of the best players in the nashville area although she lives in mt.juliet she more than likely can handle her own on the boards against ne one in the state much less nashville and the surrounding areas. so i just wanna so Go lady bears in your run to the state

Alysha Clark gets my vote too, but I must have missed the Nashville area part because most of the time Bear fans don't want to be called Nashvillians

Sarah Baker Harpeth Hall Jr. six footer can play all 5 positions MVP in state tournament, great player regardless of classification

I am sure Baker is a very good player but Jada Mincy was the MVP of the state tournament last year. Just setting the record straight - maybe she'll get hers some day. Mincy won it even though her team lost in the finals.

There are a couple of players in Nashville who are pretty tough. The sophomore class has the most depth, but Jessica Mooney is the best of the group. Shakeya Johns and Rhoneshia (sp?) Taylor are pretty good. There are also a couple of pretty good ones at Pearl who don't get noticed. The best one may the Abernathy girl from MLK.

 

Lightford is the best senior, but she is limited because she is only an average shooter. Some other seniors that are tough are Carmela Daniel and Ashley Gordon at Overton.

 

The junior class is not all that strong. Chantelle Blakely from Antioch is good, but has never gotten better. The same could also be said for T'Qwana Pendergrast at Maplewood.

 

As for freshman, the best one I have seen so far, Carolyn Mills from Glencliff is as good as any freshman I have seen in Metro in seven or eight years. She could be outstanding.

 

I don't really know about many of the private schools. Jada Mincey (I think thats her name) from Ezell is tough, although I think Lightford is better. I haven't seen Harpeth Hall.

 

Whose the best?

 

Right now, I'd say Mooney then Lightford.

 

Who is going to be the best?

 

Impossible to say, but Carolyn Mills could be special.

[bigchief]

Metroman, the player at Ezell is Mariska Reed. Tobin Steadman at FRA and Keeton Bodiford at DCA are pretty decent as well.

[givbakr2]

Add Ryann King And Crystal Shelton both juniors at Hune Fogg

Jacquelyn Chenger FRA soph

Jennifer Bognar and Falonda Bowers both juniors at Hillsboro

The Soloman twins at Hillsboro are freshman while not as polished as C.Miils at

Glencliff they are special also and one or the other starts each game

Tiffany Scales and Tay Mayberry at Hunter's Lane jr. and soph respectively

Oh yea, Mariska Reed at Ezell is flat out good

To say that a player is the best in whatever criteria is considered is always vague. The way I rate the player for this lofty position is if you take a terrible team and then put this player on that terrible team, they would now become a contender. While all the girls mentioned are excellent players, I think that the one girl that makes the most difference for her team would be Jessica Mooney. This is not to say that Hillsboro is bad, it is to say that you can put Jessica on a 0-fer and she would make the team a contender.

 

Jessica's Mother has trained her for years and the Mooney's are seeing the results of all the effort.

 

Congratulations Mrs. Mooney!
