Main Street Preps has named its 2020-21 All-Midstate girls basketball team.

See below for superlative honors and the first, second, third and fourth teams, along with honorable mention selections:

Player of the Year: Lashae Dwyer, Webb School

Resume: 22.5 points, 7.1 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 4.9 steals

Dwyer was an instant difference maker at point guard for Webb, which was coming off a dismal 4-17 finish in 2019-20. The Miami (Fla.) signee helped the Lady Feet (28-2) to their first-ever girls basketball state title with a 54-38 win over Providence Christian on March 6. Dwyer, a transfer from Hamilton Heights Christian Academy, was named state tournament MVP after being snubbed for Miss Basketball.

Coach of the Year: Jennifer Grandstaff, Blackman

Resume: 24-3 record, Class AAA state title

Grandstaff came out of retirement on short notice when John Stigall resigned abruptly in October. After more than 25 years and 500-plus career wins, Grandstaff had called it quits at Oakland following the 2018-19 season. But the veteran coach finally earned her first state title this season as the Lady Blaze won 20 consecutive games, including their final three at Murphy Center, to capture the Class AAA gold ball.

Team of the Year: Macon County Tigerettes

Resume: 26-6, Class AA state title

Macon County was one of several teams left broken-hearted after the 2020 state tournaments were canceled by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Tigerettes were ranked as the No. 1 team in Class AA, featured Miss Basketball winner Keely Carter and had already advanced to the semifinals. As fate would have it, Macon County shook off four losses this January to advance back to Murfreesboro and win the program’s first-ever state championship.
