Next Up: Replacing 2020 Miss Basketball Nominees (Part 3)
In this article:
With the season being tipping off in 3 weeks, here’s a look at some players who have to replace the 2020 Miss Basketball nominees.
<strong>Ninth Region: [player_tooltip player_id="31803" first="Maddie" last="Scherr"], Ryle - </strong>
Ryle is still the reigning and defending state champion and despite graduating Miss Basketball, the Lady Raiders are just reloading with more top talent. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="88421" first="Brie" last="Crittendon"]</strong> has already signed with EKU and is likely to lead the Ryle squad on the road back to Rupp. Other players who are expected to step up include <strong>Quinn Eubank, [player_tooltip player_id="164392" first="Abby" last="Holtman"] and [player_tooltip player_id="167137" first="Sarah" last="Baker"]. </strong>Also don’t sleep on Senior <strong>Jaden Crist</strong> and Junior <strong>Lele Nugyen </strong>who was a star at our Top 250 Expo in October.
<strong>Tenth Region: [player_tooltip player_id="80494" first="Kennedy" last="Igo"], George Rogers Clark - </strong>
Like Ryle, GRC doesn’t lose a ton from their 10th region title team of a year ago. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="164386" first="Brianna" last="Byars"]</strong> is a star and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="106139" first="Tyra" last="Flowers"]</strong> isn’t far behind her. The crazy thing about the GRC roster is they bring back a ton of experience, including a loaded Junior class.2025 <strong>Ciara Byars</strong> is another young player with a chance to be a big time player for the Lady Cards in the coming seasons.
<strong>Eleventh Region: [player_tooltip player_id="31811" first="Malea" last="Williams"], Scott County -</strong>
Without a doubt, it is <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="88423" first="Kenady" last="Tompkins"]</strong> time to shine for the reigning 11th region champions. After graduating Williams and longtime starter [player_tooltip player_id="80509" first="Morgan" last="DeFoor"] (now at Morehead State) there is a lot of production that needs to be replaced in Georgetown. Kenady and Junior <strong>Emma Price</strong> are both going to get huge boosts in shot attempts and Sophomore <strong>Tyra Young </strong>is a candidate for breakout player this season.
<strong>Twelfth Region: [player_tooltip player_id="80511" first="Lauren" last="Lee"], Casey County - </strong>
No team in the 12th region was hit harder by graduation than Casey County. They lost all 6 of their top scorers from a season ago and will go from one of the most veteran teams in the state last season to being one of the youngest this year. Sophomore <strong>Chloe Dunn</strong> and Junior forward <strong>Brianna Johnson</strong> are the top two returners from last season’s team and should have first crack at becoming the newest go-to players for Casey County.
