Take a look at 5 sleeper prospects on the list that I believe will make a splash this upcoming season and continue to move up on the list as their careers go along. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["913400"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66678accf1e9b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='913400' first='Trinity' last='Taylor'] 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 [program_tooltip program_id='712592' first='Kentucky' last='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 [player_tooltip player_id='722828' first='Piper' last='Cotham'] 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.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><strong>Notable Performances Last Season:</strong></strong> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>19 Points, 6 Rebounds against Floyd Central</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>17 Points, 7 Rebounds against Crittenden County</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["913402"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66678accf1efc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='913402' first='Hannah' last='Spaulding'] 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.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["913407"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66678accf1f42"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='913407' first='JaNyla' last='Locher'] 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. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["913403"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66678accf1f82"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">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. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><strong>Notable Performances Last Season:</strong></strong> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>23 Points against McCreary Central </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>23 Points, 11 Rebounds against Glasgow</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["913414"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66678accf1fc3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='913414' first='Sarah' last='White'] 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. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Notable Performances Last Season:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>18 PTS, 6 REBS, 6 AST, 4 STL against Cornerstone Christian Academy</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Game-High 26 PTS, 4 REBS, 5 made 3's against LCA</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
