Continue ReadingThe 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.
Sydne Tolbert Sydne Tolbert 5'6" | CG DuPont Manual | 2023 State KY , 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.
Ellie Heid Ellie Heid 5'6" | CG Portland Christian | 2023 State KY , 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.
Kaela Ballard Kaela Ballard 6'1" | CG Portland Christian | 2023 State KY , 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.
Ka’Niah Edelen Ka’Niah Edelen 5'7" | CG Male | 2023 State KY , 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.
Kennedy Harvel Kennedy Harvel 5'5" | CG Floyd Central | 2023 State KY , 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.
