Yesterday we highlighted the top large and small class players in our coverage area heading into the 2024-25 season. Now it’s time to give the girls their chance to shine.
Historically the Nashville area is always loaded with great girls basketball talent and this year is no different.
We’ve highlighted the girls from our large class schools. Here’s a look at the 12 from our small class schools.
These players come from schools in Class 2A, 1A and Division II-A.
