Timberlynn Yeast Timberlynn Yeast 5'8" | SF Mercer County | 2023 State KY , Mercer County- A player who has been near the top of this class ever since we began these rankings, Yeast rightly belongs atop this positional breakdown. She can do it all and somehow still seems to have room to improve her game.
Whitney Lind Whitney Lind 6'1" | PF Cooper | 2023 State KY , Cooper- Another do-it-all player, Lind is one of the surest double-doubles on this list. Perhaps the leader of Cooper’s loaded young core, Lind excels as a scorer, playmaker, and rebounder Lind serves as a glue-girl in addition to a lead weapon.
Brianna Byars Brianna Byars 5'11" | PF George Rogers Clark | 2023 State KY , George Rogers Clark- A player who does much of her damage on the interior, Byars is one of the best in the state at scoring around the rim and pulling down rebounds. While she could certainly be considered a big, Byars has enough range to play more like an old-school power forward.
Meadow Tisdale Meadow Tisdale 5'10" | PF Bowling Green | 2023 State KY , Bowling Green- Another player who could easily be considered a big, Tisdale also has the range to knock down mid-range and even some outside shots, making her a power forward rather than a true big. While those skills are great, the best area of her game is still her interior play, where she has a nice touch and rebounding ability.
Destiny Thomas Destiny Thomas 5'10" | SF McCracken County | 2023 State KY , McCracken County- Still recovering from an ACL injury, Thomas has dropped a bit on this list due to the time she’s missed. If she’s able to get back to 100% then she should rise back up closer to the top of these rankings.
Sarah Weddington Sarah Weddington 6'0" | PF Lewis County | 2023 State KY , Lewis County- Doing most of her damage on the inside thus far in her career, Weddington has the athleticism to play on the perimeter in addition to being great around the rim. If she can add a more consistent outside shot, Weddington can really take her face-up game to the next level.
