Situated right in the middle part of the state, just southeast of Nashville, this area is known for producing talented women’s basketball players. Over the years, this county has had a state champion bring the gold ball back home. The girls who hoop in this area have been battling each other since they were youngsters. So when we say that these clubs go at it, they go at each other hard.
When people think of Rutherford County hoops, they think of not only the pageantry but all the young ladies of the past who have worn the different jerseys at the schools. Conversations lead to memories, debates, and little research. The girls here are just built differently. Gym rats who have big goals and are willing to put in the work to get them. The list of hoopers grows by the year, but at the same time, the next crop of young ladies are primed and ready to leave their own legacy.
The ladies of Rutherford County are something to see. Their style of play, their GRIT, their tenacity is something that is definitely special. Basketball runs deep through their bloodlines. Each time the whistle blows, there is a dog fight about to take place. People go there to be challenged. Every time, year in and year out, teams that cross the county line walk away disappointed cause the ladies in this area always rise to the occasion. Tough tough. Absolutely. Grinders who excel on hardwood reside in these parts.
The 2021 City Rankings Murfreesboro/ Rutherford County edition is a collection of young ladies who can put the area on their backs.
