Ma’kiya West Ma’kiya West 5'11" | SF Louisville Male | 2023 State KY really came to play on day one of this event she led Male in scoring putting up a near career high 24 points. West was hard to stop in transition she loves getting down hill, once she gets full head of steam there is not much defenders could do to stop her from scoring at the rim. West played hard on both ends of the floor helping her team get the win against Simon Kenton.

Ka’Niah Edelen Ka’Niah Edelen 5'7" | CG Male | 2023 State KY displayed her senior leadership throughout the entire event. She did whatever it took for her team to win. Weather is was knocking down corner threes, hustling on every possession or crashing the boards hard for rebounds. She had 10 points ad 5 rebounds in a win over Simon Kenton following that game she dropped 12 points in a tough lost against Notre Dame.
Brynli Pernell Brynli Pernell 5'5" | CG Simon Kenton | 2027 State KY
Brynli Pernell Brynli Pernell 5'5" | CG Simon Kenton | 2027 State KY
Brynli Pernell Brynli Pernell 5'5" | CG Simon Kenton | 2027 State KY is a name you will hear about for years to come in Kentucky. At just an 8th grader she is one of the top players on the team. Pernell has tremendous ball handling skills and elite long range shooting ability. She plays with so much poise for a young player no moment is too big for her. Pernell led the Lady Pioneers with 12 points while going 3/7 from three.
Highlights
Alli Stone Alli Stone 5'9" | SG Henry Clay | 2024 State KY continues to show that she is one of the top shooters in the 11th region. The first game against Lincoln County she led Henry Clay in scoring with 16 points opening the game with a deep three pointer from the wing. The next day she put up 15 points in a close victory over South Warren. Stone has to continue to play good basketball in order for the Lady Blue Devils to repeat as District Champs.
Timarri Miller Timarri Miller 5'8" | SF Henry Clay | 2024 State KY
Timarri Miller Timarri Miller 5'8" | SF Henry Clay | 2024 State KY
Timarri Miller Timarri Miller 5'8" | SF Henry Clay | 2024 State KY started a bit slow at this event trying to find her groove and when to be effective. On the last game of the classic against Lawrence County she came to life scoring a career high 30 points, while shooting an efficient 10/15 from the field and 10/10 from the free throw line. What is most impressive about this performance is that Miller never attempted a three pointer. Most if not all of her points came from driving hard to the basket scoring at the rim or getting fouled making the most of her free throw opportunities.
Lydia Kennedy Lydia Kennedy 5'8" | SF Lexington Catholic | 2024 State KY is a swiss army knife type of player that can do a variety of things on court. She can rebound, block shots, and score at all three Kenadi Level Kenadi Level 5'1" | PG McLean County | 2026 KY s. Kennedy performed well in her home gym she had 16 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assist, and 5 blocks in a tough loss to Southwestern. Her second best game was against Frederick Douglass she had 14 points, 5 rebounds, ad 5 blocks. Kennedy is playing at a high Kenadi Level Kenadi Level 5'1" | PG McLean County | 2026 KY I expect her to continue to be a key contributor for the Lady Knights this season.
