George Rogers Clark is entering their 11th season under Head Coach Robbie Graham. They posted a 28-8 record last season, which is impressive considering their strength of schedule playing against in-state and out-of-state competition. GRC went 12-0 in region play winning the 10th region for the second year in a row giving them 7 in total under Coach Graham. They fell just short in the Final 4 matchup against Sacred Heart who went on to win the Sweet 16 for the third year in a row. The Lady Cardinals loaded up their roster with a few talented transfers over the summer and are seeking their first KHSAA state championship in program history.

KY
-Holds 4 D1 offers. Considered the top 2027 prospect in the state. Averaged 8.7 points a game last season. Stamper is an elite ball handler that can get anywhere she wants on the floor. She is also a crafty finisher with a nice layup package. Can create scoring opportunities for herself and others. Solid perimeter shooter as well.
Key Reserves:

KY
-Holds 1 college offer. Averaged 2.4 points and 2.4 rebounds a game last season. Tabor can defend the perimeter and the post. She is a high IQ player that seems to always be in the right place at the right time. Tabor is entering her senior year so her leadership and experience will be much needed this season.
Annette Miller
Annette
Miller
5'8" | SF
George Rogers Clark | 2026
State
KY
-Found her groove mid-season last year. Became more effective as her minutes increased. Miller averaged 2.0 points a game as freshman but could be the most improved player this upcoming season.
Jaylynn Goodwin-Played in all 35 games last season. Goodwin competes hard on both ends, she is a poised ball-handler that knows her role. She doesn’t force it just plays her game and does what it takes to win. Could possibly make a bigger impact offensively this season.
Kyleigh Chestnut-Only played in 16 games as a 7th grader. Tough competitor on both ends. Really good spot-up shooter behind the arc. Can score in the paint as well. Will get better and better as she continues to develop.
Kyleigh Stakelin

KY
-Appeared in 15 games as an 8th grader last season. Stakelin has improved a lot over the summer and looks to have a bigger role her freshman year. She has good size and length. Solid rebounder and a deadly three-point shooter that could be a potential offensive weapon for GRC.
