Continue ReadingKarson Dunn Karson Dunn 5’6″ | PG South Gibson | 2026 State TN is just different! I went back and watched South Gibson beat Crocket, and Dunn finished with 23 points, and an incredible 14-14 from the free throw line.
I don’t think casual fans understand the value in being a player that 1) gets to the rack 2) draws fouls at the rim at a high rate and 3) knocks them down.
When the other team fouls, they become more likely to get in both individual and collective foul trouble, it allows you to setup your defense, you get the highest percentage shot in basketball. Karson Dunn Karson Dunn 5’6″ | PG South Gibson | 2026 State TN is a unique talent in that she incredibly talented score that can put the ball in the bucket in a multitude of ways.
Karlie Campbell
Karlie Campbell
The talented senior put together a big-time week for Summertown as she averaged 21 points and 3 rebounds in a 3 win week. Summertown now sits at 21-5, and primed to make some post season noise as they are playing great ball of late. Campbell is leading them in most categories: points per game, assists, threes, steals, FG%, 3pt% and FT%. She does everything as their senior leader….and they are having a really fun season to watch!
Riggs, alongside fellow senior Karlie Campbell, is leading the show for Summertown as they attempt to go out with a bang! At 21-5, and tops in the district, they are primed to make a Boro run.
Riggs is averaging 10 points a game this season, and has been a really solid secondary scorer. She stretches defenses with her perimeter shooting, and gives space for Campbell and Abbi Shafer to operate.
Gale continues to really impress and raise eyebrows: she averaged 17 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists in a 3 win week. She’s been one of the best players in that D-2 district all season, and her play continues to improve.
Jackson Southside is going to be in the conversation at the end of this thing…and Askins is their heart and soul. She averaged 16 points and 10 rebounds on the week shooting nearly 60% from the floor. She plays with a funky rhythm that makes her incredibly hard to stay in front of, and once she get into scoring position, she’s a bucket.
The talented freshman has really come on for South Gibson of late. She been putting up really nice numbers approaching double-doubles as she earning more and more playing time. She recently had a huge 18 point, 13 rebound game, and has been a solid defender, rim protector, and rebounder all year long. The duo of her and Hallie Allen in the pain is tough!
Highlights
The senior has been really good this year, and has had some monster performances. For her, a 15 point, 10 rebound line is the average….but she’s been putting up big-time rebounding numbers (had 20 in one game setting the school record), and she’s playing the best basetkball of her career.
South Gibson is just talented with Karson Dunn Karson Dunn 5’6″ | PG South Gibson | 2026 State TN , Jade Reed Jade Reed 5’10” | PF South Gibson | 2027 TN , Hallie Allen, and Natalie Lewis Natalie Lewis 5’11” | SF South Gibson | 2024 State TN .

The senior has quietly turned into a knock down three point shooter for South Gibson, and really gives them a complete package with two high-level guards, and two high-level posts. Lewis has been putting scoring numbers around 15 points a game lately while stretching D’s by her reputation alone.
Totten’s play for Portland has been a bit under the radar this year. She’s a really dynamic ball handler and shot maker, and has been Portland’s best player this season. While she has some flash to her game (capable of going off for 20 for example), she still plays with an old-school floor-general vibe.
Highlights
Grasty has given White County really nice minutes as of late, and she’s beginning to look like another young weapon Coach Dodgen has at his disposal. She finished with 16 points and 7 assists on 4-6 shooting from the field on Friday night. Grasty has a ton of talent!
Highlights
Butler chipped in 16 points in the win of Stone on Friday….and agin….I loved this as a sign for White. Teams will obviously game plan to take away Ava Jones Ava Jones 6’1″ | PF Hutchison | 2026 State TN , Celeste Reed Celeste Reed 5’11” | C White Co. | 2024 State TN , and Bella Winningham Bella Winningham 5’7″ | SG White County | 2026 State TN ….but if Grasty and Butler can continue to knock down shots like this, White just becomes that much better. You can’t guard everything!!
