Continue ReadingHolt has started off the season HOT! Yes, she continues to scorch the nets! One of my favorite quotes that I also reference to basketball is, “The time will come when Winter will ask you what you were doing all Summer.” Kelsey Holt Kelsey Holt 5’9″ | SF Union Co. | 2025 State TN was in the gym getting better all summer! This shooter dropped 35 points on Claiborne. Holt shot 7/12 from deep! Holt is known for her 3 point shooting but pay close attention to all of the areas where she has improved! Kelsey is a good ball handler and I love her relentless effort to crash the boards! The junior shooting guard holds an offer from Maryville College!

Wiles continues to impress! During week 3, the FRESHMAN recorded 27 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists against South Doyle. Izy shot 7/9 from 3 point land during this game. Incase you didn’t know, that is over 77% from 3! I’ve watched highlight after highlight & the form that Izy has in one of my favorite. Great mechanics with a beautiful release! As we continue to talk about this 2027 class, Izy Wiles Izy Wiles 5’7″ | SG Powell | 2027 TN will be a name that will be mentioned with the best of them!
The unsigned senior should gain more attention this year! Perrin has recorded double figures in numerous games already. Madison dropped 20 points against Soddy Daisy, 16 points against Notre Dame, and 16 against a tough Clinton squad! This shooter should shoot more! Perrin is a versatile player that continues to show that she can guard any position. Perrin will continue to help lead her Karns squad this year, and she will be a great asset to a team at the next level!
We will start with Lanee contributing a nice double double that included, 12 points and 10 rebounds against Meigs County. The multi-sport athlete can get it done on the hardwood! A versatile athlete that can truly play numerous positions! When we talk about standouts, we can include the entire Clinton team. Clinton is undefeated and this is one team that I can’t wait to watch live! They ALL have my attention and a lot of others around the state of Tennessee too! Keep your eyes on Carmichael through the years and the entire Clinton team!
What more can possibly be said about Natalya Hodge Natalya Hodge 5’7″ | CG Bearden | 2026 State TN ? In my opinion, she is the best in her class! When all is said and done, Hodge will be remembered as one of the best athletes in the state of Tennessee! Natalya is only a sophomore. Hodge has led her team in scoring every game by notching, 32 against Daniel Boone, 23 against Dobyns Bennett, 23 against West Ridge, 23 against Sullivan East, and 19 against Morristown West! The D1 athlete does so much more than “score” too! Natalya is ELITE and she keeps getting better!
Murphy is probably one of the most underrated athletes in East Tennessee! I truly don’t know what some college coaches are waiting on when it comes to Kendall. Murphy is averaging in double figure scoring and you will always find her name mentioned in the hustle stats! I often mention good and extremely well shooters. I’ll go as far to say that Kendall is a GREAT shooter! One of the best rebounding guards that you are going to find! Extremely consistent on both sides of the court! Kendall’s phone should start ringing before summer even gets here!
Highlights
Stewart is averaging over 6 points & 6 rebounds a game to go along with a load of blocked shots! Maddy will welcome you to her block party whether you want to attend it or not! She’s recorded one double-double so far and don’t be surprised when she walks away with more! This young sophomore continues to be a great rebounder! Good luck keeping her off the boards because she is definitely going to try her best to outwork you!
Northview Academy has started off the season with a 6-2 record. White has been a huge factor! Jordan is averaging right near 10 points and 5 assists per game! She’s already recorded a 12 assist game this season. We have to credit her teammates for knocking down open shots and finishing too! One thing still remains true, “If you are open, White will find you”
Highlights
Victoria Wright
Victoria Wright
Wright recently announced her commitment to continue her academic and athletic career at Maryville College next season! Wright is extremely smart on and off the court! Averaging right over 10 points and 6 rebounds per game. Victoria is an incredibly hard worker! Recorded a nice double-double already and I won’t be surprised when she adds more!
Hayes is definitely one of your do-it-all kids. We need a steal, Adison’s got it. We need a score, Adison can do that too! A smart player that plays the game the right way! After watching numerous highlights & film, there is no denying the impact that Adison brings. Extremely unselfish! Hayes is only a sophomore so you will hear a lot more about this one!
Werner is a sophomore incase you didn’t know. 18 points and 8 rebounds against a good Stone Memorial squad. A great defender with an extremely high IQ! She has a quick first step that she utilizes extremely well to get to the rim! Raylee can compete with the best of them! Kobe Bryant said it best, “These young guys are playing checkers. I’m out there playing chess.” Werner is a young athlete that seems to always be one step ahead! Call this one a chart climber, a stock riser, or whatever suits you. She’s definitely a young star!
