Burke County hoops

Who all is in the Christmas tournament this year? I hope freedom girls can give eb a game and possibly pull it off. I'm happy for east burkes being successful but for fans there to say last year's team was the best in burke county history. No disrespect but Idk about that being the case.

Not even remotely close to being true. At least four of Freedom's state title teams would have run them off the court, including the undefeated 2016 team.
Probably the only one they could have beaten was the 1989 team, but you have to remember that all those women are in their 50s now.

Best team I saw was 2002. People say the 1995 team was the best. As far as player I'd say Kerri gardin hands down was the best girls player ever in burke county. Best shooter may be ali Ford.

1994 or 2016. Both had three girls who played D1 and another who played D2. 1994 also had Natalie Watts (Whitaker) who could have played in college, I’m certain of that. But she concentrated on academics and she’s Dr. Whitaker DDS today, which was surely the best choice. The 1994 team blew out Fayetteville Sanford in the state title game and they had a girl who played at UConn. The 2016 team didn’t even have a close game until the state championship game, and then that was just because N. Guilford made a comeback. But Freedom won and they had the Cunane girl who played for State and then briefly in the WNBA.
Kerri Gardin was easily the best girls player from this county of all time. I think Braelyn Stillwell is a baller, but she just can’t dominate a game the way Kerri could.
