Small School, Big Game – 16th Region

This series has taken a look at some lesser-known players from smaller schools across Kentucky that have or will tear it up at the varsity level. You might not be able to find their hometown on a map, but that hasn’t stopped them from making a name for themselves. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="167100" first="Ashtyn" last="Barrett"], Bath County (2024) - </strong>One of the top rising Freshmen in the entire state, Ashtyn is a top notch scorer already and will only get better. As an 8th grader, Barrett averaged 16 points per game while shooting 41% from the floor. As she becomes a better three point shooter, Ashtyn could be the best scorer in the 24 class. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="106140" first="Allie" last="Stone"], West Carter (2022) - </strong>West Carter relies on Allie to do a little bit of everything for her team to get a win. She led the team in scoring and rebounding at 18.1 and 5.3 per game. A well rounded scorer, Stone puts up strong shooting numbers while also creating a lot of the offense for her teammates with dribble penetration and kick outs. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="88447" first="Abby" last="Adkins"], Elliott County (2021) - </strong>Like Stone, Abby led her team in scoring and rebounding last season. Like Barrett, she could put up some huge scoring numbers if she improves her shooting efficiency. The Lady Lions return their entire roster from last season and Abby could be one of the best Seniors in the 16th. If she is, Elliott County can make some noise. <strong>Jordan Rakes, Fairview (2021) - </strong>Another top Senior in the region, Jordan is a scoring guard who can score inside or out and excels at getting to the free throw line. Rakes helped Fairview to over 20 wins last season and has a chance to do that again while increasing her scoring output with the graduation of Gracie Crisp.
