Triniti Ralston Triniti Ralston 5'7" | PG Sacred Heart | 2023 State KY | Sacred Heart
Ralston deserves more credit and recognition for all that she does for her team. Sacred Heart has been a consensus top 3 team all season and the majority of people view them as the top team in the state, and Ralston is vital to their success. If you want a true point guard, she checks all the boxes. She can get to the basket and score at will, but she’s always passing up her own shot to create an even better shot for her teammates. She is an outstanding ball handler and is really good on the defensive end as well. The Valkyries squad is full of stars and Ralston is certainly one of them. I’d be shocked if her recruiting doesn’t heat up significantly this summer.
Amaya Asher Amaya Asher 5'7" | PG Central | 2023 State KY | Central
Asher can do it all and is the type of player coaches love to have on their team. Her basketball IQ is so high and her work ethic is incredible. She sees the floor so well and gets her teammates to the spots they need to be in to make plays happen. Her passing will grab your attention every time you watch her play. Asher’s got the strength and physicality. She rebounds well. & She has really expanded her game this season, more than doubling the amount of 3 pointers she made and took from last season. Asher is a match-up nightmare for every opposing team.
Macy Runner Macy Runner 5'6" | PG Nelson County | 2023 State KY | Nelson County
Runner is so quick and athletic. Everything she does is just smooth. She can shoot off of the dribble or the catch and she has a quick release on her shot, as well as great form. & She has shot over 40% from deep all season long. Runner also has good handles and keeps her dribble so low. Makes some great passes and is always ready to make the extra pass. On the defensive end, she’s got great hands and reads the passing lanes well. How hard she hustles is what was really eye-catching to me.
Lilly Reid Lilly Reid 5'6" | PG Bullitt East | 2023 State KY | Bullitt East
Reid is tough. She has good handles, makes great passes, plays solid defense, hustles, and facilitates her team’s offense. She also has the ability to make big plays in big moments. There was a game where I watched her turn the ball over and in the moment, it could’ve cost her team the game. Rather than letting it get in her head or pouting over the turnover though, Reid got back and played great defense, and then came down and made a great drive to score in the final seconds securing her team the win.
Courtney Hoskins Courtney Hoskins 5'7" | PG Leslie County | 2023 State KY | Leslie County
Hoskins has a natural scorer’s mentality. She gets a rebound and pushes it down the floor. If you don’t step in front and stop her, she’s going the length of the floor and scoring a layup on you. She can either get to the basket or use her consistent pull-up jumper or runner. She’s strong in general, but she is especially strong with the ball in her hands. She’s got toughness and physicality, and she crashes the boards hard. Great off-ball defender who can come up with multiple steals in every game.
