<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>USE CODE "tinnon30" FOR 30% OFF THE FIRST PURCHASE OF ANY SUBSCRIPTION</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As we embark on the public school sector of Miss Tennessee basketball nominees, I want to highlight the single A division. Despite the size of the schools these young ladies compete for, I will say that some special talent roams down in this classification. Over the years, we have seen girls rise from this classification and embark on a big-time division one journey. I forecast the same as more and more young ladies come from this classification ready to grind away and showcase their talents. I have seen it with my own two eyes as more and more young ladies from around here compete at a high level, going hard on many platforms and excelling. For example, EYBL, E-40, UA Circuit, high school TSSAA state championship scene, ect. My point, these girls can play despite their locale.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Within this classification, you have the young ladies who are bigs who grind from block to block, dynamic guards who can score it at a high clip, just a little bit of everything to get the job done. I know one thing about these kids, they don't take the game lightly. It means something to them. They go at the game full force, showcasing the skills that will help propel them to the next level. Along with the pageantry of their town and student body, their style of play makes every night electric.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Check out some Miss Tennessee nominees from the single A classification.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["409014"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-679cdf1c3becf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"> Is just a monster down low. This young lady won this award last season and also had been mentioned as a finalist the year before winning it. She is a MTSU signee who knows how to put the ball in the cup. Averaging 21.8ppg, 9.2rpg, 2.7asp, and 1.7bpg, she is a hungry individual who knows how to get the job done. Her team feeds off her energy and effort. She raises the level of play around her and makes it difficult for opponents to operate. Stellar kid who has had a great career in high school.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["818131"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-679cdf1c3bf31"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">She's arrived as this has been a breakthrough year for her. This kid plays with a ton of energy, getting it done on both ends of the floor. Passionate about the game, her style of play uplifts her teammates and harnesses a culture of belief as she goes out and dazzles the crowd. Her stock has risen and she is playing with such confidence. This 3 level scoring threat is special and with her tallying 29.1ppg, 13rpg, 4.8apg, and had 5spg, she is definitely impacting the game in more ways than one. A solid kid who is going to be a special talent that will come from this state when it's all said and done.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["821756"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-679cdf1c3bf77"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">is a sharpshooter who knows how to score a bucket. She is shooting 41% from 3, letting it fly with confidence. Averaging 22.9ppg, 3.6asp, and contributing both in steals and rebounds, this kid has gone from an offensive threat to an all-around game juggernaut. Talented, hungrier, and willing to do whatever it takes, this kid cultivates a winning mentality that is invigorated throughout the program. She is a special talent that will continue to get better.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1133760"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-679cdf1c3bfba"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sensational sophomore who has burst onto the scene. Averaging 18ppg, 7rpg, 3asg, and 4 spg, she is uplifting her ball club to new heights. After tasting state contention last year, this kid is on a mission. A multi-level scoring threat, her play has instilled toughness throughout her team. She's hungry, talented, and brings that lunchpail mentality to every single contest. Look for her to continue to rise above and help her ball club reach new heights this year and for years to come.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Ahmiya Thompson","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'9u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12125","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Memphis School of Excellence","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-679cdf1c3c052"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Talk about someone who is leaving lasting impressions, this young lady is doing that plus some. Averaging 22 ppg, this dynamic wing is terrorizing the hardwood as her ball club battles it out. This kid is putting in the work, showcasing her skills as her ball club dukes it out. She can score it from multiple spots on the floor, and also impact the game by locking up on the defensive end. This kid is solid and will look to continue on this upward trajectory to finish out her senior year.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["513239"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-679cdf1c3c09a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One word to describe this young lady is elevate. With her on the floor, she raises everything around her. She's a shifty guard who can score the rock from multiple levels on the floor. She can penetrate to kick, penetrate to finish against contact at the rim and penetrate to knock down the mid-range, let's just say she knows how to get a bucket as she is averaging close to 20 points a game. This kid is solid and her game speaks volumes. Special talent who knows how to get it done.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
