They play the game with grit, swag, and with a chip on their shoulder. These girls are very talented and are capable of being anchors for any collegiate program willing to give them a chance.
The girls who reside here in these city limits come from good stock. The game runs deep in their veins. From skills, drills, and stories, the basketball culture gets passed down from generation to generation. The city that is known for its barbeque and men’s hoops, is now becoming a fixture in the women’s game for young ladies who like to ball.
Memphians are passionate about the game of basketball. You can hear it in the way people talk, the way people walk, and the love in their eyes for that round ball. The air may be a little sticky due to the heat, but the sweat that comes from these hoopers is from hard work and desire. Basketball is a right of passage. A crossover from being a young lady to being a young woman. A symbolization of carrying the torch of your family’s legacy that’s ingrained in the hardwood and on the many blacktops around the city.
The 2021 City Rankings Memphis edition is a collection of young ladies who can put the city on their backs. It’s not about what position or what school, but merely some girls who are leading the way in a deep, talented pool of women’s basketball hoopers. Here at PGH Tennessee, we see you ladies, and we recognize all the tremendous effort you put in the game. Ladies and gentlemen, here are this year’s preseason City Rankings from the 901.
