Rylee Turner Rylee Turner 5'11" | SG Newport Central Catholic | 2022 State KY , Newport Central – Turner has been playing at a high level for a few years now and can get lost in the shuffle of Northern Kentucky’s top players. As of today, Rylee is the state’s leading scorer with 33 points per game and even more impressive is that she’s shooting over 50% from the field even though every defense is geared towards stopping her.
Jenna Lillard Jenna Lillard 5'11" | C Ludlow | 2022 State KY , Ludlow – Jenna is averaging a double-double with 27 points and 11 rebounds per game for an undefeated Ludlow team. The 9th region All A regional should be awesome this year and Lillard should be able to stake her claim as the best Senior and the top post player in the region.
Gracie Howard Gracie Howard 5'9" | SG Christian Fellowship | 2024 State KY , Christian Fellowship – The first region doesn’t get a ton of love thanks to how far they are from the major media markets in Kentucky and a small school like Christian Fellowship is probably an unknown to most folks in the commonwealth. Gracie and teammate Lillian Burnett are combining for nearly 42 points per game and have the Lady Eagles off to a strong start.
Jamya Chenault Jamya Chenault 5'8" | PG Frankfort | 2023 State KY , Frankfort – A high scoring PG from the Capital City, Jamaya is a slasher who can get to the bucket with the best of them and is one of the better athletes at the Class A level on the girls side. She’s also among the best rebounders in the state, regardless of position at almost 13 boards per game.
