Below are my impact players from the second matchup of night the home team Dixie Heights gets the win over South Laurel 74-63.
At the 4th annual Hoops4Harvest Coralee Pelfrey Coralee Pelfrey PG Dixie Heights | 2026 State KY showed that she is indeed one of the top 2026 prospects in the state. Pelfrey can do a little bit of everything she led Dixie Heights in scoring with 22 points and rebounds with 8. She was a major contributor on offense scoring almost at will. Her versatility is what makes her so effective. Pelfrey showed her range knocking down a corner three pointer and she was unstoppable scoring in the paint utilizing her floater and scoring put backs from offensive rebounds. She is so good at creating contact and drawing fouls. Which allowed her to rack up a lot of points at the free throw line. Pelfrey is a scrappy defender as well she can guard the perimeter and block shots down low.
Ella Steczynski Ella Steczynski 5'8" | SG Dixie Heights | 2023 State KY can really fill up a stat sheet and she is a marksman from deep. She drained 5 three pointers in this ball game putting up 19 points total. Anytime she had space to get her shot off she made defenders pay with her elite shooting ability. Steczvynski played excellent defense as well using active hands and playing the passing lanes she came up with an impressive 10 steals putting up a double-double with her efforts.
Samantha Berman Samantha Berman 5'9" | SF Dixie Heights | 2023 State KY is everything you want out of your senior leader. She was very vocal on the court calling out screens, setting up the plays and making sure her teammates are in the right position. Berman ended the game with 15 points she hit 2 three pointers and got the rest of her buckets by penetrating the lane scoring at the rim or drawing fouls and capitalizing from the free throw line. She had a nice and one play that really got the crowd into it. Berman is on pace for a big senior year for the Colonels.

Skeeter Mabe Skeeter Mabe 5'11" | PF South Laurel | 2027 State KY
Skeeter Mabe Skeeter Mabe 5'11" | PF South Laurel | 2027 State KY is a point guard with excellent size, strength, and skill. Mabe showed great control and poise for a young player never getting rattled against the tough defensive pressure. She used her body to shield off defenders to protect the ball. Her basketball IQ is through the roof she anticipated double teams so well always finding an open teammate for the assist. Mabe is more of pass first point guard but she can score when necessary. She showed her jump shooting ability as well by knocking down three point and hitting several shots from the perimeter. Mabe was the second leading scorer for South Laurel with 11 points.

The Lindsey Wilson commit Emily Cox was absolutely on fire at the Hoops4Harvest. As the senior leader she did everything she could do to keep her team in the game. It seemed like every time a point was scored for South Laurel her name was the one being announced. Cox dropped 16 points and grabbed a ton of rebounds. I was very impressed with her game look for her to be the catalyst for the Lady Cardinals success this season.
