Continue ReadingThe next class to update is the rising Sophomore group. This 2024 class is really good at the top and has some quality depth to it and there are more and more players emerging all the time. Our latest update expands the list to 70 players and has seen some movement in the top 10. Here’s a look at the top small forwards in the class. These are spotlighting players who did not make the top 10 overall.
Leandra Curnutte Leandra Curnutte 5'6" | PG Lawrence County | 2024 State KY , Paintsville – Paintsville had one of the youngest rosters in KHSAA last season and that should pay dividends down the line with the experience the young ladies are getting. Leandra was a very solid role player last season and should be even better in her Sophomore campaign. A solid outside shooter, Curnutte could average 15 points per game or more this season if she can improve her shooting efficiency overall.
Savannah Gardner Savannah Gardner 6'0" | SF Christian Academy Louisville | 2024 State KY , CAL – One of the standouts at our Top 250 expo last month, Savannah made a big move up the rankings this update and has a high ceiling as a prospect thanks to her height and athleticism. Gardner still needs to continue improving her three point shooting as her game develops but she’s an excellent rebounder and plays with a great motor. As her game develops, she should keep moving up the rankings.
Allison Spieker Allison Spieker 5'8" | SG Whitefield Academy | 2024 State KY , Whitefield Academy – After scoring nearly 20 points per game last season, there is sill a lot of room for improvement for Allison after leading Whitefield in nearly every statistical category as a freshman. Spieker and her teammates are going to keep getting better and better as they grow up and develop over the coming years and she is on track to have one of the highest scoring careers in Kentucky in recent memory.
Logan Palmer Logan Palmer 5'7" | SG Cooper | 2024 State KY , Cooper – Palmer is coming off a great freshman season for a Cooper team that is on the rise in the 9th region. Logan was the most efficient scorer on this list after posting shooting splits of 50-39-73 last season and really benefits from all the talent around her. Don’t be surprised if she helps get Cooper right in the middle of the regional title race by March.
Ava Schureman Ava Schureman 5'10" | SF Great Crossing | 2024 State KY , Great Crossing – Another player who shined at our Top 250 expo last month, Ava is a skilled player who plays with a great motor. She can guard multiple positions and led Great Crossing in rebounds per game last season. As her offensive game catches up to her defense, Schureman is a player to keep an eye on in the 11th region as a potential X factor for a Warhawk roster hoping to compete for championships this season.
