Ladies, look, you all did a phenomenal job in your career when it comes to the classroom as well as performing on the hardwood floor. You really set the benchmark high for ballplayers behind you to follow. I mean, anything else I say would be an understatement to the lasting impression you left.
With that all being said, there were plenty of kids who were overlooked in this class. It wasn’t that they weren’t recognized, but what they did really was the conduit to their team’s success. I am talking about the little things that may go unnoticed, in this class, you had a bunch of girls who did just that.
Check out some under the radar stars from the 2024 senior class.
Annie Buisson Annie Buisson 5'6" | PG Brentwood Academy | 2024 State TN (5’6/Sr./G/ Brentwood Academy)– wow. You’re talking about a player who plays with a lot of energy and effort, this young lady leaves it all out on the floor. A multi-level scoring threat who always has her team and teammates best interest. She gets after it on both ends of the floor, makes timely assists, contributes whenever and wherever, but most importantly, is a leader both on and off the floor. This kid has major talent and she exudes confidence. Will be a solid addition to her ball club at the next level.
Jalynn Baldwin (5’11/Sr./C/ Cumberland Co.)– A stopgate in the middle, she was huge for her program. When something needed to get done, this girl stepped up. Has great footwork, makes the tough shots, but is really big on the boards and stepping up in big-time defensive situations. If not nightly, she was a double-double player every time she stepped onto the floor.
Tristan Spearman Tristan Spearman 5'4" | PG Memphis East | 2024 State TN (5’4/ Sr./PG/ Memphis East)– Speed. Quickness. Tenacity. Floor General. Just a few words that describe what you get out of this kid. She can score it for sure, but it’s the other intangibles you can’t coach that she brings to the table. She plays with hustle and heart on both ends of the floor. Don’t let her stature fool you, this kid can get after it and does so with confidence.
Leah Stinnett Leah Stinnett 5'8" | SG Gatlinburg-Pittman | 2024 State TN (5’8/Sr./G/ Gatlinburg-Pittman)– Solid contributor who can do all things. Has a nice release from three, where she shoots with confidence. What I like about her is she plays her role well and exploits what opponents give her. If they close out on her short, she will pull it. Close out long, she will drive past you. She is on the floor for loose balls, rebounds, plays in gaps. This kid was solid, especially down the stretch. She was a gamer and she brought it every time she stepped onto the floor.
Carson Sisk Carson Sisk 6'0" | SF Beech | 2024 State TN (6’0/Sr./G/Beech)– Blessed with great size and length, this young lady can play both inside and out. She can pull it from 3, create mismatches down low, has a nice mid-range game. She has a tremendous work ethic to where she contributes on both ends of the floor. Heady ball player who plays the game with a lot of skill and confidence.
McKenzie Kaye McKenzie Kaye 5'8" | SF Grace Christian Academy | 2024 State TN (5’8/Sr./F/ Grace Christian Academy -Franklin)– Superb leader who gets after it. If a 3 ball is what her club needs, she brings it. Finish at the rim, check that as well. McKenzie was a contributor in all statistical categories, which played a big part in her team’s success. Her versatility enabled her to do multiple things that created tough matchups. Solid kid who plays the game with a lot of passion.
Lili Maggert (5’6/Sr./G/ Friendship Christian)– Mmm. One word that comes to mind when I think of this young lady is toughness. She is a tough competitor who is relentless in what she does. Offensively, she is in attack mode, shooting from 3 or driving it into the paint. Defensively, she is trying to poke balls loose, getting steals by the boatload. She is a leader but most importantly, she lets her play to the talking and she backs it up.
