2023 Rankings: Top Combo Guards

The Junior class rankings have been updated and we’ve had a big shakeup at the top and several new names and big movers. Here’s a look at the top ranked combo guards in the updated 2023 rankings. This article does not contain any of the players who were ranked in the top ten in the class. [player_tooltip player_id="164400" first="Sydne" last="Tolbert"], Manual - One of the players in Louisville I expect to make huge strides this season, Sydne should be on the short list of best Juniors in the Derby City. She'll have more shots coming her way this season and has flashed a high skill level and IQ at our PH events in the past. She's a player to keep an eye on this season for Manual. [player_tooltip player_id="164405" first="Ellie" last="Heid"], Portland Christian - One of the best pure scorers in the class, Heid has been putting up huge numbers for a couple of years now and shows no signs of slowing down. With a better supporting cast last season, Ellie became a more efficient scorer and should see a lot more recruiting attention come her way soon. [player_tooltip player_id="164401" first="Kaela" last="Ballard"], Portland Christian - Kaela's transfer to Portland limited her to half of an already shortened season thanks to having to wait on her eligibility. No longer having to score 30 for her team to win, Ballard has shown how much more she can do to affect winning than she was able to do at Southern. She's a talented guard who does a little bit of everything on both ends of the court. [player_tooltip player_id="164408" first="Ka’Niah" last="Edelen"], Male - Male is a team to buy stock in this season as they bring back their entire roster from a season ago and Edelen would be a good player to look at as a possible breakout star this season in Louisville. Ka'Niah is listed as a PG on the KHSAA site but she is equally capable of playing off the ball and making an impact on both ends. [player_tooltip player_id="164413" first="Kennedy" last="Harvel"], Floyd Central - Kennedy is likely to see a huge bump in her stats this season after Katie Moore moved on to the next level. Harvel is a smooth scorer who is at her best when she's attacking the rim. She's a capable shooter and solid at the free throw line when she gets there. Look for her to be one of the best players in the region this season. &nbsp; <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Other Names to Know:</strong></span> [player_tooltip player_id="199614" first="Lexi" last="Cash"], Mercy [player_tooltip player_id="199609" first="Alexis" last="Weaver"], Manual [player_tooltip player_id="200351" first="Amiyah" last="Collier"], Russellville [player_tooltip player_id="255506" first="Natalie" last="Gentry"], LaRue County [player_tooltip player_id="199615" first="Mary" last="Smith"], Mercy
