Destiny Thomas Destiny Thomas 5'10" | SF McCracken County | 2023 State KY , McCracken County – Coming back from an ACL tear that cost her the entire Sophomore season at McCracken, Destiny was able to get back on the court this summer and has even earned a new D1 offer from nearby Murray State. Look for her to start climbing back up the rankings soon.
Clara Collins, South Laurel – Clara has always been an intriguing prospect but she’s battled the injury bug the last couple of seasons and hasn’t been able to show her full arsenal of skills. This summer, Collins got back to her old self and showed what a mismatch she can be for opposing defenders thanks to her size and versatility.
Keelee King Keelee King 5'11" | SF Rockcastle County | 2023 State KY , Rockcastle County – Rockcastle is a real threat in the 12th region this season and King is a large reason why. Keelee is a lights out shooter who needs to be on the short list of best three point shooters in the class, statewide. This summer, Keelee showed she can take and make big shots against the highest levels of competition.
Ma’kiya West Ma’kiya West 5'11" | SF Louisville Male | 2023 State KY , Male – West had a big summer of AAU and could be counted on for a double double nearly every game out. Ma’Kiya is hoping to ride the wave of momentum into a big Junior season for a Male team that is looking for scoring and leadership out of her in order to get back in the race for the 7th region championship.
