The Way Too Early 2021 Miss Basketball Rankings

While we won’t know who won 2020’s Miss Basketball award until June, we have started to turn the page and look towards the 2020-21 season. So, who are the favorites to join the elite company and be named Miss Basketball this time next year? Let’s break it down, shall we? <strong>The</strong><strong> Favorite: </strong>[player_tooltip player_id="31846" first="Brooklynn" last="Miles"], Franklin County How she wins: Long regarded as the top player in the class, Brooklynn sails through her Senior season while maintaining her level of production and keeps stacking high major offers. Bonus points with voters if she commits to Kentucky for college. How she loses: Because her team is talented and fairly balanced, she won’t have the gaudy numbers that other players could put up. &nbsp; <strong>Second</strong><strong> Favorite: </strong>[player_tooltip player_id="31850" first="Harley" last="Paynter"], Boyd County How she wins: Like 2019 Miss Basketball from Boyd County [player_tooltip player_id="31753" first="Savannah" last="Wheeler"], Harley puts up massive scoring numbers as Boyd has another big season and Paynter is showcased in big games all across the state. How she loses: Paynter didn’t have a huge offer list before her commitment to Morehead State and doesn’t get a ton of hype despite her gaudy stats. Her profile statewide isn’t as big as some of the other girls on the list. &nbsp; <strong>So you’re telling me there’s a chance: </strong>[player_tooltip player_id="31848" first="Mya" last="Meredith"], Scott How she wins: Prior to missing her Junior year, Mya was on track to be a Dontaie Allen-like scorer, smashing records along the way. She bounces back for her Senior year and gets right back to huge scoring games and leading her team to 20+ wins again. How she loses: She comes back from her injury but struggles a little early in the year as she works to get her timing and agility back. The slow start costs her in the long run. <strong>Others in the mix:</strong> <ul> <li>[player_tooltip player_id="31853" first="Macey" last="Blevins"], Wayne County</li> <li>[player_tooltip player_id="88416" first="Tiarra" last="East"], Butler</li> <li>[player_tooltip player_id="88417" first="Elise" last="Ellison-Coons"], Dunbar</li> <li>[player_tooltip player_id="88421" first="Brie" last="Crittendon"], Ryle</li> </ul>
