I would say John Garrett from BA. He probbly is the top scorer at a varsity level out of all those other people. He scored 19 against Giles County, who has Tyler Smith.

I think that Jaime is the best I have seen, he goes to Whites Creek

I think Josh Hawkins is the best freshman player in the state

I haven't seen enough of these players to have an informed opinion. I will say that Brian Wright is probably only the fourth best freshman on Brentwood Academy's team right now, behind Garrett, Bill Kottas and Chris Besch. Four talented freshmen, for sure.

Seth Skogen is the best freshmen I've seen in east Tennessee this year he is far better than his brother Jake was when he was a freshmen, if he really puts the time and work into it you could be looking at another Skogen as Mr. Basketball in the state of Tennessee in a few years.

Terrance Olgesvie and Mark Gibson from Bradley Central.

Jamie Graham starting point guard for White's Creek is already making an impact in the toughest district in the state 12 AAA

Hey Simpleman these freshmen may the best offensive freshmen in the state because they play ME ball. I think what the thread was asking for is for an all around player. They do not play defense at all. And remember defense wins champsionships. I saw them play at the WVHS game and neither played defense but were not shy to shoot.

John Garrett has adjusted rapidly to a much tougher level of basketball, and has developed into what BA needs so badly -- an effective shooter and zone penetrator. The Fresh Eagles -- that is, BA's freshmen -- have explosive potential, with Garrett, Bill Kottas, and Brian Wright earning substantial playing time along with Besch (though I'm not too familiar with him). The future is radiant on the south side of Granny White.

Jewan "Red" Long of Liberty is averaging about 10 points a game and if he had a better outside shot he would be the best freshman in the state. Last year in the West TN. Middle School Regional Championship. We were down 19 points at halftime to Raleigh Egypt the state champs. We went in the locker room and got a motivational talk from our assistant coach. We Jackson Middle School and Raleigh Egypt were both undefeated so you know it had to be pretty emotional in the locker room. So we came out at the start of the third quarter they had a 19 point lead. By the time the third quarter was over we were up by 2. But Jewan Long outplayed Maurice Miller in every aspect of the game that night. Raleigh Egypt ended up beating us by 4 points but Jewan Long took over the game in the second half so I don't see why he is not on the list gomab.

RODNEY DAVIS IS DEFINITLY THE BEST ALL AROUND FRESHMAN IN THE STATE OF TN.HE HAS ALREADY SCORED 33 POINTS IN A GAME AGAIST OBION COUNTY THIS SEASON. I WATCHED RODNEY AND HE CAN SHOOT IT FROM THE OUTSIDE, HAS AN EXCELLENT MID RANGE JUMP SHOOT, GREAT PASSING ABILITY,THE BEST FIRST STEP I HAVE SEEN AND HE ALSO PLAYS GREAT DEFENSE.
