Lauren Martin
Lauren Martin
Martin knows her role on this talented Karns team and she plays it exceptionally well. When you have teammates like Reese Roberts Reese Roberts 5’6″ | PG Karns | 2025 State TN , Rylee Roberts Rylee Roberts 5’7″ | SG Karns | 2025 State TN , and Madison Perrin Madison Perrin 5’7″ | PG Karns | 2024 State TN , you know that scoring isn’t exactly what is needed. However, don’t think that Lauren can’t score because she is going to make you pay if you leave her open! Basketball is a team sport for a reason. In order for Karns to be successful and continue to win games, Lauren has to keep playing strong defense! She is one of the best defenders on the Lady Beavers’ team! I love the all out effort and energy that Martin continues to play with!
I can’t believe that Stewart is a sophomore! Every person in the state knows that Amelia Pfeiffer Amelia Pfeiffer 6’2″ | C Alcoa | 2024 State TN is the first option on this talented Alcoa team. However, the rest of the young Alcoa athletes can step up and do what is needed at any time. Put Stewart on your radar ASAP! She plays exceptionally well in the high low! She cuts to the basket stronger than most young athletes that I’ve watched. Actually, she is one of the top players that I have watched pass and relocate. Maddy makes college ready plays and she is only a sophomore! Stewart continues to impress on the court against tough competition! She is one of the best rebounders in our state and I won’t be surprised when you see this one averaging a double-double in future seasons! Recruit Maddy Stewart Maddy Stewart 5’10” | SF Alcoa | 2025 State TN today, no need to wait on this one. Trust me!
Sarah Durham
Sarah Durham
Shooter Alert! Durham continues to shoot the ball at a high percentage! She is lethal from the 3 point line so you can’t give her any space. I watched her at the Apache Memorial during AAU season and she has continued the hot shooting streak into her junior high school season. Sarah’s defense definitely deserves credit too. She is providing her team with numerous steals and deflections. A solid all-around player that should be on your radar!
Parker doesn’t get near enough credit for what she does for this young Bearden team! Another notable athlete that does a lot of the dirty work. She continues to be a great shot blocker. She truly knows how to use her size and length. She’s had 2 or more blocks in numerous games this year! Amanda has numerous offers to play at the next level & I’m excited to see who lands this one. By the way, she scored a 35 on her ACT so she’s more than notable in the classroom too!
Highlights
Adisen McNealy Adisen McNealy 5'4" | PG Cocke Co. | 2025 State TN
Adisen McNealy Adisen McNealy 5'4" | PG Cocke Co. | 2025 State TN
Adisen has a niche for finding open spots on the court and her teammates continue to find her. She has found her stroke from 3 point land and she doesn’t look to be cooling off any time soon. She put in three beautiful 3 pointers against Seymour. I love seeing McNealy and Kitchen at the top of a full court press. These two are dangerous and they are going to make you work! McNealy has recognized her strengths and she continues to play through them! Don Meyer said it best, “There’s only one thing we can control, and that is how hard we play.” The consistent effort and hard work continues to show in every game Adisen plays!
Ebany Hill Ebany Hill 5'6" | SG Washburn | 2026 TN
Ebany Hill Ebany Hill 5'6" | SG Washburn | 2026 TN
Hill and Clay continue to scorch the nets! Hill is averaging over 16 points per game and doing so by shooting the 3 ball consistently! I can see her scoring average rise too! An efficient scorer that can score in bunches and in numerous ways! Ebany recently scored 26 points in a tough overtime win against Union County. She dropped 24 points the game before! Ebany’s quick hands on defense is something to also make note of. Yes, she is averaging over 2 steals a game too. If you don’t have Hill on your radar, you should. If she continues to work, she has an extremely high ceiling!
