Two Rutherford County basketball standouts were named Mr. and Miss Basketball finalists on Thursday.
Riverdale senior guard Alasia Hayes, who averages more than 22 points a game, and Eagleville senior guard Ryley McClaran, who averages 30 points a game, were both named finalists in a vote among state coaches and media members. Academics and character also were taken into consideration.
This will be the 36th year the Mr. and Miss Basketball Awards have been presented to Tennessee’s best high school basketball players. American General was the sponsor of the event since the inception of the awards in 1985 until 2001. The Memphis Grizzlies were sponsors of the awards from 2002-2004. From 2005-2015 the Mr. and Miss Basketball Awards were presented at the conclusion of each respective championship game as part of the post-game trophy ceremony.
The Mr. and Miss Basketball awards will be presented to the top girls and boys in five classifications of the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association on the floor of Murphy Center on the campus of MTSU on Tuesday, March 10 at 7:00 p.m.
