A second consecutive TSSAA state championship for Bradley Central — and its players showcasing their talent across three days of last month’s title tournament in Murfreesboro — helped the Bearettes land two players on the Tennessee Sports Writers Association’s all-state girls’ basketball team.
A total of 12 players from the Chattanooga area were all-state selections in their respective classifications. Girls’ honorees were released Friday, a day after the boys’ team.

Lauren Hurst, a junior at rival Cleveland who averaged nearly 15 points and 10 rebounds and helped the Lady Blue Raiders reach the state semifinals, also made the list in 4A.
Signal Mountain junior Carlee Lowry, a Miss Basketball finalist who averaged 25 points and 10 rebounds, was named in 3A. Two McMinn Central stars, senior Molly Masingale and junior Karina Bystry, were joined by Sequatchie County junior Curtlyn Lee on the 2A team.
