top 10 girls teams

I have to give some love to girls basketball don't I?
I mean we have some quality teams in the area and everyone is battling for state playoff births and region championships.
I am thinking we have at least 10 teams with great chances to make it to state in basketball.
So I am going to tell you who the top 10 teams are in this area.


10) Southwest- The Patriots are 10-8 and are holding their own this year against some pretty good teams. They are led by Shygeria Williams, who is just a sophomore and goes for almost 10 points a game and Jasmine Billue, who doesn't score much but goes for 11 rebounds a game. They are in good position to make it to the tournament.


9)Tattnall Square- They looked absolutely lost early in the season but they are 9-9 and in second place in their region behind Stratford. The team is strong inside with Allie Gordon and Briana Glover, but it's Iuana Slaughter that will complete this teams story. She has played great basketball over the last 2 weeks.


8)Westside-They have a losing record at 9-13 but they are a very dangerous team with Niaira Dawson having a big year with 16 points a game and 6 rebounds. Look for Westside to finish strong.


7)Rutland- Not sure how the Canes get it done almost every year so I guess its that Johnny Dixon guy who finds a way to win every year. Breasia Davis gives them 13 points a game and the Hurricanes are looking to make some noise.


6)WRHS- The Demonettes have struggled a bit this year after losing so many players last year and they have had their best player ill , but look for Shynia Jackson to lead the way for them and get back into the picture.


5)Peach County- The Trojans are 13-7 and are firmly second in the region behind Central, who they could not handle a few weeks ago. Danasia Shaw has had a big year and averages 15 points and 10 rebounds a game, while Deja Holland scores also scored about 15 points a game.


4)The final four on here gets tight. I am listing Stratford at number 4 despite the fact that they are 16-2 and may be the best team in the area. Mary Elaine Mitchell and Nadia Reese are a dynamic twosome at guard and they have other girls that hit threes and do the dirty work. Can they win region ? Yes they are the heavy favorites, Can they win state ? Hold on guys, not happening with the big private schools in Atlanta.


3)Northside- I didn't even know this until I saw it but the Eagles are having a big year with a 15-5 record. Tamia Sapp leads the way with 14 points and 8 rebounds a game.


2) Hmmm I have two schools left here and I choose to go with Veterans next. The Warhawks are 15-5 and Coach Miranda always fins a way to win and this year is no exception. Sophomore Stacie Jones is doing work in the paint with 12 points and 10 rebounds a game and leads the way, while Chandler Shepherd also scored 11 points a game. This is the time that Veterans just continues to get better.


1) The Central Chargers made a deep run in the playoffs a year ago and they are 15-2 this year so we can definitely call them the top team in this area. Jada Clowers is a rebounder and shot blocking machine and she continues to improve as a scorer, while Tyleia Williams and Jenya Wilder give the Chargers excellent guard play. Don't be surprised at another deep playoff run. Coach Sheila Toombs is one of the best kept secrets in Macon and that is evident from how far they went a year ago. All three of these girls mentioned will play at the next level. Can they win a state championship ? Why yes, I think they can.

  1. Actually Thomaston Upson Co. Is almost directly in the middle of the great state of Ga. So Upson Lee is middle Ga. I'm surprised @ this journalist .
