Not many people had a better first 11 days of March than Anna Walker.
The Tennessee Tech junior, a 6-foot forward and former Bradley Central standout, started the month by earning a spot on the Ohio Valley Conference all-tournament team as she averaged 14.7 points in three games and the Lady Golden Eagles won a league tourney title for the first time in 23 seasons.
A week later, she spent a day in Murfreesboro, watching her high school alma mater win the TSSAA Class 4A championship in pretty dominating fashion, the Bearettes’ seventh state crown overall but first since Walker was a junior on the 2019 title team.
Which team was better? The one that just stepped off the court or the ones that had Walker on the court?
Although she laughed when she said it, Walker explained she made sure Bradley Central’s most recent champions knew they couldn’t beat the Bearettes of four years ago.
