Nicole Archibald Nicole Archibald 5'6" | SG Bracken County | 2025 State KY , Bracken County – Bracken struggled this season but it wasn’t for lack of effort from Nicole. She averaged 11 points and 3 rebounds per game while shooting over 33% from three. Archibald should score a lot of points for the Polar Bears over the course of her career.
Kate Baker Kate Baker 5'4" | PG Frederick Douglass | 2025 State KY , Frederick Douglass – Baker’s impact isn’t going to be seen strictly by looking at stats but Douglass had their best season in large part to her development over the course of the season. She’s likely to play a huge role for one of the dark horse candidates to win the 11th region next season.
Grace Bale Grace Bale 5'7" | SG Taylor County | 2025 State KY , Green County – A good shooter, Bale made an impact in her 8th grade season. She averaged a modest 4 points per game but was competitive with top teams in the 5th region like Bethlehem. Keep an eye on Grace as she continues developing her game.
Peyton Bradley Peyton Bradley 5'9" | CG Meade County | 2025 State KY , Meade County – She had a fantastic 8th-grade season, leading Meade with 17 points per game and is one of the top shooters in the state at 41% from deep this season. Bradley also thrives at getting to the free throw line and is a good shooter when she gets there. One to watch for a top spot in our rankings eventually.
Halle Collins Halle Collins 5'11" | SF Knox Central | 2025 State KY , Knox Central – Collins only played 4 games at Knox after transferring from North Laurel in the early part of the season. She’s already got a couple of D1 offers before she enters high school but will now have rehab in front of her and hope to get back to her old self soon!
