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.
