Continue ReadingWe move to perhaps the most loaded position in this class, the wings. Not only do all of these players rank near the top of our overall rankings, but there are also plenty of other excellent wings who we didn’t have room for on this list. What we do have here are some of the best overall players on the state and at a loaded position.
Jaileyah Cotton Jaileyah Cotton 5'6" | SG Bardstown | 2022 State KY , Bardstown- Perhaps the favorite to lead the state in scoring this season, Cotton has the ability to get points from all levels. She also has the versatility to guard multiple positions and is a strong rebounder to top it all off.
Riley Neal Riley Neal 5'11" | SF North Oldham | 2022 State KY , North Oldham- A player who truly embodies the phrase “do it all” Neal does just that for North Oldham. She carries the load as the primary scorer and playmaker while also being expected to rebound and defend at a high level, and she does all of these things very well.
Josie Gilvin Josie Gilvin 5'10" | SG Sacred Heart | 2022 State KY , Sacred Heart- It’s no surprise to see Gilvin rocket up our newest rankings following an MVP performance in the Sweet 16. While being part of a loaded Valkyrie team has meant she did not always stand out as a superstar, her performance as the best player in the state on its biggest stage was that of a superstar to be sure.
Lacey Bradshaw Lacey Bradshaw 5'8" | SF Notre Dame | 2022 State KY , Notre Dame- It speaks to the strength of this position that perhaps the best pure slasher in the state rankings so far down in our rankings. While she has added some outside shooting to her game, Bradshaw is still at her best getting to the rim, something she does seemingly at will.
Mia Hale Mia Hale 5'9" | SF Estill County | 2022 State KY , Estill County- Much like Bradshaw, Hale does most of her damage inside, where she is an elite offensive weapon. If she is able to improve her efficiency outside of the paint, Hale can cement her place as one of the truly best scorers in the state.
Madelyn Lawson Madelyn Lawson 5'8" | SG Dixie Heights | 2022 State KY , Dixie Heights- A big riser over the last few months, Lawson has shown out following her return from injury. If she can continue to build on a tremendous junior season and AAU spring, Lawson should keep rising up these rankings and cement herself as an elite player.
Timothi Williams Timothi Williams 5'7" | SG Great Crossing | 2022 State KY , Great Crossing- One of the best two-way players on this list, Williams made her bones as a defender, but this past season showed a tremendous offensive improvement to make her one of the top wings in this class. If she shows that her outside shooting was not an aberration, Williams will retain a high spot in our rankings.
