This gives her the best combination in those categories of anyone on this list. Daugherty’s game is largely based around her three-point shot, and as long as she continues to shoot as well as she has, she should remain an effective player.
Bailey Hurst, Frederick Fraize – Hurst was tops in her class in made 3 pointers last year, with almost two per game. However, she only shot 28%, relying on a high volume of seven attempts per game. If she can improve her efficiency going forward she’ll be able to light up the scoreboard even more.
Brie Crittendon Brie Crittendon 5'9" | SG Ryle | 2021 State KY , Ryle – As one of the top players on defending state champions Ryle, Crittendon has already had the opportunity to shine, including scoring 21 points in the state championship game. After shooting 35% on 2.9 attempts per game last year from three, she should continue to have a huge role on perhaps the best team in the state.
Baylee McMath, Scott County – McMath is tops on this list in terms of efficiency, shooting 42% on just 2.4 attempts per game. As these numbers suggest she displays an excellent stroke, and if she can maintain her efficiency with greater volume she’ll cement her place among the state’s elite shooters.
Bree Howard, South Laurel – Howard has shown great potential from long range. She shot 31% on 3.2 attempts, a solid percentage with enough volume to back it up. She also demonstrated a good ability to get open and get her shot off, which should prove valuable going forward.
Sammi Sites Sammi Sites 5'7" | SG Martin County | 2021 State KY , Johnson Central – Sites shot an identical 31% on 3.2 attempts, demonstrating the same potential as Howard. With a potentially bigger role going into her junior year, Sites has the potential to really step up as a shooter if she can maintain what she has done so far.
