13th Region: Ally Collett Ally Collett 5'6" | PG South Laurel | 2020 State KY and Amerah Steele Amerah Steele 5'11" | PF South Laurel | 2020 State KY , South Laurel –
Of all the teams we’ve looked at, South Laurel may be the best equipped to reload their roster without a massive drop-off from a year ago. Rachel Presley Rachel Presley 6'2" | C South Laurel | 2022 State KY is a proven star with multiple scholarship offers and Clara Collins is ready for a bigger role after waiting her turn until now. Bree Howard never gets a ton of recognition but she could be the leading scorer for the Cardinals this season.
14th Region: Lexy Meyers Lexy Meyers 5'8" | SG Leslie County | 2020 State KY , Leslie County –
Leslie County hated to lose 25 points per game from Meyers but the cupboard is far from bare. Senior Emily Bowling is ready for a breakout season after being the Robin to Lexy’s Batman last season. Sophomores Iris Napier, Emily Napier and Emma Napier are going to have much bigger roles this season and fellow Sophomore Baylee Davidson could be in the running for most improved player in the region. Leslie could be just as good or better this year.
15th Region: Katlyn Ball, Belfry –
Belfry is another team that could be just as good or better than a year ago. Junior Cushi Fletcher brings back experience on the wing while Kyera Thornsbury Kyera Thornsbury 5'7" | SG Pikeville | 2024 State KY has been a hot name in recruiting the past 6-9 months and fellow Junior Linzee Phillips could be a breakout candidate. The Lady Pirates are going to be poised for a good season and could be a dark horse for regional champs.
16th Region: Julia Parker Julia Parker 5'7" | CG Ashland | 2020 State KY , Ashland Blazer –
Junior center Mikayla Martin could be the best kept secret in the region and should average a double-double after missing that by half a rebound last season. Senior Carley Cullop is going to chip in double digits points every night out and Ella Sellars Ella Sellars 5'9" | SG Ashland Blazer | 2024 State KY is a hidden gem that should get a lot more floor time this season after playing spot minutes as an 8th grader last season.
