Trinity Taylor Trinity Taylor 5'10" | PF Lyon County | 2027 State KY was the second-leading scorer with 12.2 PPG and rebounder with 8.2 RPG for Lyon County last season. The 5’10 forward has been putting in work this spring and is playing at a very high level on the EYBL circuit for Kentucky Premier 15U. Trinity is a great rebounder and distributor that knows how to create offense for herself and teammates. She moves well without the ball, can make shots from the mid-range, and is a versatile defender that can guard the post and perimeter. Her and Piper Cotham Piper Cotham 5'4" | PG Lyon County | 2027 State KY will provide a lethal 1-2 punch for the Lady Lyons this upcoming season and I see Trinity making a major leap on our rankings list in the near future.
Notable Performances Last Season:
19 Points, 6 Rebounds against Floyd Central
17 Points, 7 Rebounds against Crittenden County
Highlights
Hannah Spaulding Hannah Spaulding 5'10" | SF Pendleton County | 2027 State KY is a multi-sport star that shines on the softball field and on the basketball court for Pendleton County. The 38th district All-Tourney selectee was the second-leading scorer with 11.8 PPG and averaged a team-leading 7 RPG for the 2023-2024 season. Hannah is a versatile wing that impacts the game in many different ways. I believe she is very capable of averaging double digit points and rebounds as a sophomore for the Lady Cats.
Highlights
JaNyla Locher JaNyla Locher 5'7" | SG Henderson County | 2027 State KY played in 33 games as a freshman for a Henderson County team that finished 26-8 on the season and made their sixth straight Sweet 16 appearance. JaNyla is a 3-point specialist and a tenacious defender with a nose for the basketball. Her active hands, awareness, and instincts on “D” allows her to rack up multiple steals per contest. I think JaNyla has great upside and playing on such a talented team with a good coaching staff should help her game continue to grow and develop over the years.
Highlights
Madi is a standout guard that does it all for Cumberland County. She led the Lady Panthers in almost every statistical category and was a matchup nightmare for opposing teams. Madi put up 13.6 PPG, snagged 6.4 RPG, along with impressive shooting splits of 43/30/82 last season. Madi is a complete player with a great all-around game. She will be one of the top players in region 4 as a sophomore this upcoming season.
Notable Performances Last Season:
23 Points against McCreary Central
23 Points, 11 Rebounds against Glasgow
Highlights
Sarah White Sarah White 5'5" | CG Somerset | 2027 State KY is a talented combo-guard that averaged 9.4 points and 4.9 rebounds a game for Somerset last season. Sarah is a dead-eye shooter from long distance that loves to let it fly when she gets an open look. She does a good job filling lanes and making herself available to score in transition. Sarah is also a willing-passer, that is active on the boards, and very disruptive on the defensive end.
Notable Performances Last Season:
18 PTS, 6 REBS, 6 AST, 4 STL against Cornerstone Christian Academy
Game-High 26 PTS, 4 REBS, 5 made 3’s against LCA
