Continue ReadingThe Lakeway Lions kept their season alive in a thriller versus Concord. Down 17 at the half, Lakeway’s guard got hot and stayed hot. When you have Kami Wilson Kami Wilson 5’11” | SG Lakeway Christian Academy | 2025 State TN , Elli Linx, Kayla Underwood Kayla Underwood 5’10” | SG Lakeway Christian Academy | 2027 TN , etc, you’re never out of a game. Nice 3 point win by Lakeway to stay alive.
Kami Wilson finished with 37! points, and Ellie Linx Ellie Linx 5’8″ | SG Lakeway Christian | 2024 State TN had 14 clutch points.

Perry is another valuable tool in the Knox Catholic tool chest. She’s a gamer that has a lot of valuable experience, and plays with poise and confidence. She knows her role, and stars in it. Perry finished with 7 points in Tuesday nights win as Knox Catholic gears up for the real season.
Sydney Mains finished with 18, Maggie Frana Maggie Frana 5’9″ | SF Knoxville Catholic | 2025 State TN had 9, and Amaya Redd Amaya Redd 5’10” | SF Knox. Catholic | 2025 State TN had 8. Knox Catholic (20-5) is playing their best basketball of the season at just the right time.

Young finished with a near double-double with 7 points and 10 rebounds. The ’26 continues to find ways to make her mark on a game without having to be a dynamic scorer–and that’s a great skill in itself. TKA won their first round district tourney game handily.
Brady Branam almost had a triple double with 12 points, 10 rebounds and 6 steals in limited minutes. Liv Loveday had 6 points and 6 rebounds. And Skylar Walden Skylar Walden 5’8″ | PG The Kings Academy | 2027 TN didn’t even have to do much more than be a facilitator.
Stewart continues to give Oak Ridge really valuable minutes as they seem to have all the tools for a deep run. Their depth has been superb, and Steward is a great example of that. She finished with 8 points, 6 rebounds, 2 blocks and a steal in Tuesday’s senior night win.
Amelia Pfeiffer had 9 points, 12 rebounds, 4 steals and 3 blocks in a dominant performance in limited minutes. Jacy Cox Jacy Cox 5’8″ | PG Alcoa | 2027 TN ’27 continues to impress off the bench!
I’ve become a huge Thomas fan after watching loads of film on the kid…and I just think her game is perfectly modern. She’s incredibly well rounded and does everything….she’s like a more skilled Draymond Green…a facilitator that can also score when needed but simply has a the “passing gene” in her DNA. She’s also a high level defender every game. In Tuesday night’s win locking up a regular season district championship, she finished with a near triple double again: 19 points, 7 assists, 7 steals, and 4 rebounds.

Robertson is another ’27 that I didn’t have on my radar coming into the season, but she’s officially on it now. The freshman put up a huge 16 points, 14 rebounds, and 5 assists. Those are huge numbers as the young big begins feeling more and more comfortable at the varsity level.
Carmichael showed great fight in Tuesday night loss to rival AC. She seemed to flip a switch in the 2nd half in an attempt to refuse to lose. She scored 15 second half points, 10 in the fourth quarter alone—and finished with 17 on the night.
I don’t know that there a better, less-under-hyped player in East TN than Murphy. If she’s not on a team with Hodge, her skill level suggests she’s capable of carrying a bigger load (BUT–she doesn’t need to—and that’s why Bearden is Bearden). She’s a high level shot maker with deep range, and her hustle stats are ALWAYS there. She’s one of the best rebounding guards in her class. She’s gritty, she battles, and her work ethic is off the charts. In Tuesday’s win, she had an easy 9 points and 10 rebounds.
Highlights
Ridley has a chance to be scary good. The ’25 has an elite mixture of length, bounciness and athleticism. She’s quick on her feet for a big, and is remarkably nimble. Had 18 points and 15 rebounds in Tuesday night’s battle with Lawrence County. Elite upside.
