Here’s a look at the top ranked small forwards in the updated 2023 rankings. This article does not contain any of the players who were ranked in the top ten in the class.
Destiny Thomas Destiny Thomas 5'10" | SF McCracken County | 2023 State KY , McCracken County – Thomas missed her Sophomore season after an ACL tear and fell from the top 10 in our rankings but she’s back now and working her way back up. One of the best athletic forwards in the class, Destiny should be in the mix for top player in the 1st region.
Clara Collins, South Laurel – A recent reclass from 2022, Clara is a big wing who has battled through some injury woes in recent years. Collins should see the extra year help her recruiting if she can reach her potential and stay healthy.
Keelee King Keelee King 5'11" | SF Rockcastle County | 2023 State KY , Rockcastle County – One of the state’s best shooters, King should be one of the best players in the 12th region this season and have a chance to show that she’s more than just a shooter. If Keelee can get to the free throw line more, she could be a top scorer in the area.
Adylan Ayer Adylan Ayer 5'9" | SF Daviess County | 2023 State KY , Daviess County – Adylan is a player who checks a lot of boxes as she can score on offense and is a reliable defender on the other end of the court. Ayer needs to become a more efficient scorer to elevate her game and she showed she can be a good playmaker at our Top 250 camp in September.
Emily Naranjo Emily Naranjo 5'11" | SF Grant County | 2023 State KY , Grant County – One of the only committed 2023s in the state, Emily has already announced a commitment to University of the Cumberlands and heads into her Junior season as the main scoring option for a Grant County team that will need her to step up and lead them.
