Talk about a crop of highly touted young women who truly embody excellence at their craft. Those who fell short, they too are excellent at what they do. Even though you can only have one winner per classification, those girls who didn't win still deserve credit for everything they accomplished. Kudos to them.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One thing to consider is that a few of the girls nominated were underclassmen. Yes, can you believe it? What do they mean,, you might ask? Well, I give them the nod as early-season favorites to either win the award or become a finalist once again. Who knows who will win it? It's too early to tell.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here is a list of young ladies who could represent each class if they put up similar numbers and produce the same body of work. If you thought this past year was great, wait until next season. The competition is going to be wide-open.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are a few early favorites for the Miss Tennessee Basketball Award from the Division II-A and Division II-AA classifications.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Division II-A</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["821641"],"_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-69c1b1585ac5b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Could she win it again? She is a heavy favorite to do so. This young lady has been killing it on the floor,, and right now, no one can slow her down. With all the accolades and on-court success she has been having, along with top programs in the country courting her for her commitment, she will be the favorite to land this award next season for the fourth time.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["780456"],"_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-69c1b1585ace7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Averaged 20.7 points a game; she was the leading catalyst for a talented Lady Cougars squad. A kid who could score from all three levels, a solid defender, and truly a game changer, she will look to bring that same type of body of work into the new season. She is a dynamic player and one who is hard to slow down.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1155021"],"_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-69c1b1585ad5a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A kid who plays with that Allen Iverson mentality, she averaged 22 points, 5.5. Assists, and 4.4 rebounds per game. She helped put Notre Dame on the map this past season, and her team fed off her energy. She is solid on both ends of the floor, making everyone around her better. She is a human highlight reel that is about to have another breakthrough season. Look for her to be a hot name among collegiate ranks.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["822483"],"_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-69c1b1585adc3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another dynamic point guard who is tough with the ball in her hands. She can score it from all three levels, but her ability to get paint touches with ease is second to none. She plays with poise and changes speed well. She averaged  19.8 ppg, 6.3 asp, and 3.7 rpg, and shot 40% from 3. Look for her to be an MVP candidate in the district and among the top kids in her class.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Division II-AA</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1039164"],"_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-69c1b1585ae16"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This kid is a gamer, and she is a load to handle around the blocks. Averaging 13.2 ppg, 9.4 rpg, she is a tough outing anytime she takes the floor. She makes coaches second-guess their game plan, putting together a body of work where no one is safe in the painted area. She owns the interior, and she will play an even bigger role next season as the offense will go through her. Another top kid in her class, highly sought after by next-level coaches.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["822224"],"_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-69c1b1585ae64"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">She's a big deal, especially inside the arc. She's a tough finisher who can muscle through the opposition on her way to the basket. She brings the physicality to the table, averaging 12 ppg and 7 rpg per game. She dominates the boards and can even stretch the floor and hit the 3-ball if need be. She's a kid whose recruitment is about to get even hotter over the summer. Look for her to play an even bigger role next season as she displays her versatility and leads her club once again to state contention.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["792678"],"_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-69c1b1585aeb8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">She will step into more of a lead role for her club and will be given the keys to drive the car as fast as she wants to go. This kid is a 3-level scoring threat that plays with poise and precision. She's a hooper who knows how to pick her spots to exploit. She can dime her teammates as well as create for herself off the dribble. She too can contribute in the rebounding game as well as get steals and deflections that help create turnover opportunities for her club.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
