Layla was the second best player for Barbourville during the high school season. She averaged 12.7 PPG, 4.2 RPG, and had several games with 16 points or more. Layla can shoot it from deep, score around the rim, and get a hand on shots in the paint and on the perimeter. With her ability to impact the game in so many ways, I see her having a breakout junior season as she will be expected to produce a lot more.rnrn22 points, 5 rebounds against Lynn Camprnrn16 points, 4 rebounds against Harlan Countyrnrn17 points, 8 rebounds against Whitley County","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6635cd83b0367"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["818840"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"In his second year at the helm Head Coach Davey Johnson led Campbell County to a 22-11 season and was named the NKGBCA Coach of the Year. The leading scorer and rebounder [player_tooltip player_id='818840' first='Isabella' last='Jayasuriya'] averaged 13.2 PPG along with 6 RPG for the Lady Camels last season. Isabella impacts the game in a multitude of ways, she displays good body control when finishing through contact inside, can knock down shots from the mid-range and from beyond the arc as well. She can also rebound the ball, protect the rim, and guard positions 1-5 on defense.rnrn28 points (6 triples), 11 rebounds against Fleming Countyrnrn21 points, 5 rebounds against Walton-Veronarnrn10th Region 1st Team SelectionrnrnNKGBCA D1 All-Conference Team","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6635cd83b03f6"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["566166"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Somerset finished with a 7-22 record on the season under first year Head Coach Andrew Laughlin. This program has lost a lot of talent over the last couple years due to graduation and players transferring so they are still trying to develop an identity as a team. Standout guard and team captain [player_tooltip player_id='566166' first='Sophie' last='Barnes'] was the number one scoring option for the Briar Jumpers. She averaged a team-leading 11.3 PPG, which was almost double what she averaged as a freshman. Sophie is a lethal three-point shooter that can catch fire from deep, once she sees a couple shots go in. She also gets after it on defense and does a good job creating turnovers. I believe she will have a breakout junior year next season.rnrn18 points (5 triples) against Cornerstone Christianrnrn18 points gainst LCA","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6635cd83b046f"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["647294"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='647294' first='Ava' last='Hale'] had a solid sophomore campaign for  Estill County, a team that had a pretty good run in the postseason, but suffered losses to Owsley County in the district and regional title games. Ava is a knocked-down shooter from three that is capable of draining several 3's in a game, when she has the hot-hand. She is a disruptive defender and a good rebounder as well. Ava averaged 7 points a game along with 3.4 rebounds and made the 14 region all-tournament team. After losing the top two scorers to graduation, I believe her numbers will go up next season as she will be relied on a lot more to produce on offense as a junior for the Lady Engineers.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6635cd83b04cd"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["897389"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Ludlow High School has one of the top scorers in the 9th region in [player_tooltip player_id='897389' first='Addy' last='Garrett']. The star guard has been playing varsity since the 7th grade and has over 100 career games under her belt. She surpassed the 1,000 point scoring mark and put up 15.6 PPG last season. Addy is the type of player that can get a bucket from any spot on the floor. She also has a nose for the ball on defense and comes up with multiple steals each game. Ludlow is a independent single u0022Au0022 school so that could be a reason why she does not garner the attention like most prospects in the state of her caliber. But believe me she has loads of potential!rnrn23 points against Daytonrnrn22 points against Carroll Countyrnrn32 points against Lloyd Memorial","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6635cd83b054b"} /-->
