History. 3 words that ring true and hold dear to the hearts of the people who play Single A basketball. Clubs in this division represent smaller towns within the state, and their high schools are revered as big-time programs. They represent the community they play for. The support is crazy, and anytime they tip off, it doesn't matter where they are; they are a big deal to the people they represent.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 1A class may not get all the big-time publicity from schools in bigger cities, but they, too, have talented ballplayers who can hoop. You will see some go on playing collegiately at different levels. While they are here, they are the town's heroes as they become a part of the fabric of those who walked through the same halls when they were there. It's about pride, and that was at stake along with the opportunity to advance, which was on display in the opening round of the 1A state round in Murfreesboro.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are the scores from Thursday's matchups.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Waye Co. 37- Gordonsville 32</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Middleton 43- North Greene 33</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Richland 61- Coalfield 40</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Greenfield 41- Van Buren 40</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are the standouts from Day 1 in the 1A class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1039137"],"_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-69b6cf6376921"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A big-time anchor in the post, she was too much for GHS as she finished with 22 points, 8 rebounds, 3 blocks, and 5 steals. She finished over either shoulder, owning the painted area along the way. Though her offensive ability to score the basketball will always be highlighted, her defense should get the praise as she slammed the door down the middle. She is a talented kid who creates havoc down low. A solid kid who truly has a bright future in this game.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["636533"],"_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-69b6cf637698e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Talented guard who is blessed with athleticism. She was the spark for her club, finishing with 18 points and 8 rebounds. She was all over the place as she got it done for her club. Using her athletic ability, she knifed through the opposition and helped her club advance.

This kid is a heady floor general who just gets after it. Doesn't matter how big the stage is; she always shows up, plays hard, and leaves everything she has on the floor. Finishing the contest with 28 points and 10 rebounds, she impacted the game in multiple ways. She's helped set the standard of the Lady Raiders program and truly is an example of what a hard-working ballplayer is like.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["893825"],"_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-69b6cf6376a1c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">alented freshman who is a shot maker. She's putting everyone on notice and becoming a solid piece for this GHS attack. She finished with 18 points and 3 boards, also impacting the game on defense. She hit some key 3s down the stretch and always seems to be in position to let it fly from multiple spots on the floor. She's had a fantastic freshman year and looks to build upon the momentum she's set. She's not done growing, but this was a game that let other areas in the state know exactly who she is.<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":"Skylar Arnold","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'11u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12122","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Greenfield","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"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-69b6cf6376ab7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A solid anchor down low, she finished in the interior, but her true impact was felt on the boards.
