She has several D1 offers in her bag and there is no doubt she has Power 5 potential. Knight is the anchor for KY Premier Cann she holds it together in the interior with her physical presence. She was completely dominant in the semi-final game against a really good SMAC team Knight was a total mismatch down low she scored at will with her back to the basket as well as face up mid range shots. She was relentless on the boards getting her hands on almost every rebound. The effort she gave on both ends of the floor catapulted her team to a Aqua Platinum Division Championship. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":469507,"width":213,"height":284,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none","className":"is-style-rounded"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-rounded"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/07/mariah-768x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-469507" width="213" height="284" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"textColor":"primary","fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-primary-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='164391' first='Jakayla' last='Thompson']-KY Premier 17U MILBY</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">[player_tooltip player_id='164391' first='Jakayla' last='Thompson'] is highly recognized as one of the top prospects in the state of Kentucky. She has several college offers including Power 5. Thompson played extremely well against CyFair 17U EYBL she did a great job utilizing ball screens to create scoring opportunities for herself and teammates. Thompson has that competitive edge every coach wants in a player and she has real passion for the game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":469519,"width":207,"height":262,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none","className":"is-style-rounded"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-rounded"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/07/thom-806x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-469519" width="207" height="262" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"textColor":"primary","fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-primary-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='164406' first='Amy' last='Thompson']-KY ICE Select 2023</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">[player_tooltip player_id='164406' first='Amy' last='Thompson'] has played extremely well all summer I recently watched her player at the Run 4 Roses Classic, I was very impressed with her versatility. Thompsons ability to stretch the floor with her high level three point shooting is something any D1 program would be fortunate to have. Thompson is a finesse forward who has a variety of ways she can impact the game whether its knocking down perimeter shots or imposing her will in the mid and low post. She was a key component to KY ICE Select winning the CYAN Platinum Division Championship.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":469577,"width":202,"height":261,"sizeSlug":"full","linkDestination":"none","className":"is-style-rounded"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized is-style-rounded"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/07/amy.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-469577" width="202" height="261" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"textColor":"primary","fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-primary-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='255507' first='Jaci' last='Woods']-OTP 2023</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">[player_tooltip player_id='255507' first='Jaci' last='Woods'] is a fierce competitor with excellent instincts on the defensive end. Woods has the ability to take away any teams best scoring threat with her elite on ball perimeter defense. Even though she prides herself on defense the most she still can score the ball at a high volume. Throughout the tournament she averaged 12 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assist per game including a game high 20 points against MS Lady Cardinals which many of those points came from steals on defense due to her stellar defensive play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":469563,"width":202,"height":253,"sizeSlug":"full","linkDestination":"none","className":"is-style-rounded"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized is-style-rounded"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/07/jaci.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-469563" width="202" height="253" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"textColor":"primary","fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-primary-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='254279' first='Leah' last='Macy']-KY Premier 17U MILBY</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">[player_tooltip player_id='254279' first='Leah' last='Macy'] is the number 2 ranked class of 2025 prospect in Kentucky by Prep Girls Hoops. She is a big time prospect with big time potential this explains why she has so much interest from D1 programs. Coming off a Aqua Platinum Division Championship at the Splash in Orlando Macy carried that momentum into the Nationals. She played really well in the quarterfinal game versus Philly Rise she had a double double by halftime that seemed effortless. Macy was a matchup nightmare and just too much to handle in the paint on offense and defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":469572,"width":189,"height":254,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none","className":"is-style-rounded"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-rounded"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/07/macy-763x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-469572" width="189" height="254" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image -->
