GIRLS BASKETBALL

TAYLOR WADE

Habersham forward Taylor Wade was a tough assignment for any opponent. Though her role saw her 1,000-plus points, she did so much more than score. The physicality she brought to the Lady Raiders lineup was invaluable. She averaged north of six rebounds per game each of her seasons as a starter, and closed with 11.7 PTS, 6.4 REB, 2.3 AST, and 1.7 STL per game. The two-time All-Region honoree averaged 13.3 points as a junior and 11.6 points and 6.8 boards as a senior. (1,349 votes)

GRACIE DEETZ

Gracie Deetz, also a volleyball HOFer, was the x-factor for the Lady Cats in their title game run in 2021-22. The Rabun County star burst onto the scene as a sophomore, and never looked back. She averaged 13.3 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.5 blocks throughout her career, and eclipsed 1,000 career points. She was a two-time All-Region pick, and averaged 14.7 points as a senior to go with 6.8 boards. She shot nearly 50% in that final season, and averaged nearly 2 blocks per game. (615 votes)

TYNAJIAH EADES

Tynajiah Eades dropped in over 1,000 points for Stephens County, and the guard averaged 13 points, 7.5 rebounds, 6 assists, and 2.5 steals throughout her career. The two-time All-Region selection averaged 14 points and 8 rebounds as a junior, and in her senior year, which netted an Elite 8 run, she averaged 12 points and 6.5 rebounds and 6 assists.

ELLIE KINLAW

Ellie Kinlaw was a sharp-shooter, splashing 3-pointers at about a 40% clip in her career. The guard was a two-time All-State and three-time All-Region selection, and a 3-point finalist her senior year at the state competition. She averaged 16.3 points and 3.2 assists as a senior, and went for 13.7 points overall in her career. She had a career night, dropping in 10 3-pointers in a single game, which is a school record.

AVA HUNTER

One of the most dominant players that we’ve ever seen is Ava Hunter. Union County’s all-time scoring leader with 1,629 points and 700 rebounds as well was a three-time All-State and four-time All-Region selection. The forward averaged 16.6 points, 9.5 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 1.7 steals, and 1.5 blocks per game overall. She hit the 1,000-point and 500-rebound mark in just her junior year. She averaged 20.4 points and 10.2 rebounds as a senior, 15.6 and 9.5 as a junior, 16.2 and 9.0 as a sophomore, and 14.1 and 7.0 as a freshman. She goes down as the best to ever suit up for the Lady Panthers. (338 votes)
