The Mr. and Miss Basketball Awards winners will be announced at MTSU's Tucker Theater on March 18. Of course, not every top player could make the final group. Here's our list of players that should have been heavily considered for Mr. Basketball honors. Aniston Allgood, Nashville Christian: The sophomore was a solid candidate in Division II-A and the Lady Eagles are 22-4. Allgood is averaging 18.8 points, 9.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists, two steals and a block. More: Meet the Tennessee Mr. and Miss Basketball finalists for 2025 TSSAA basketball award Cecilie Brandimore, Franklin: Brandimore's numbers are unmatched, but Class 4A is loaded with talent. She has dominated with 26.8 points, 13.1 rebounds and three blocks a game. Ke'Miyah Buggs, Fayette-Ware: The junior is one of the top scorers in Class 3A, averaging 24.7 points, 7.8 rebounds and 5.9 steals. Ellie Butler, Livingston Academy: It would not have been a surprise to see Butler on the Class 3A list. She's averaging 21.7 points, 7.1 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 2.9 steals. More: Tennessee high school basketball girls statewide rankings: New No. 1 emerges in Class 3A Julie Hampton, Scotts Hill: The Class 2A field has a ton of great players, but Hampton had a chance.

She's averaging 18 points, 9.9 rebounds and 1.6 blocks. Amaya Redd, Knoxville Catholic: Redd didn't make the DII-AA list but has averaged 16.9 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.8 steals in just 25 minutes a game against a brutal schedule. McCall Sims, Westview: Sims has been instrumental in Westview knocking off defending state champions from Tennessee five times this season. The Tennessee softball signee is averaging 15.6 points, 2.4 rebounds, 2.4 steals and Michelle Shields, Unaka: The junior has been difficult to guard in Class 1A while averaging 19.7 points, three assists, 2.9 rebounds and 1.4 steals.

Kami Wilson, Lakeway Christian: Wilson was a strong candidate in Division II-A. She's among the state's top scorers averaging 26.5 points, five rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2.1 steals.
