Continue Reading- Douglass has a ton of talent and Jaelee Knowles Jaelee Knowles 5'10" | SF Frederick Douglass | 2027 State KY may be the next one up for the Lady Broncos. Coming off a freshman season where she averaged 10 points and 6 rebounds, Jaelee could be in line for a huge boost in production. If she can improve her three point shooting (27% last season) then she’ll be really hard to guard as a Sophomore.
- Maci Messer Maci Messer 5'10" | SF South Laurel | 2027 State KY is in our top 15 already but could still be considered a sleeper. The bigger wing has good positional size and is comfortable attacking the rim or lining it up from three. Messer had a strong Freshman season but if she can improve her overall shooting numbers, she could be a top 5-10 player in the region as a Sophomore.
- GRC is a lot like Sacred Heart in the sense that both rosters are loaded with talent so it takes a little while for players to get individual shine at the high school level. That’s the case with Sophomore Kyleigh Stakelin Kyleigh Stakelin 5'9" | SF George Rogers Clark (GRC) | 2027 State KY . If she played anywhere else, she’d be averaging double figures but right now she is waiting her turn to make an impact for the Cards. Don’t be surprised to see her contributing in a major way next season.
- Covington Holy Cross’ D’Myah Williams D’Myah Williams 5'9" | SF Holy Cross (Covington) | 2027 State KY was limited to 4 games as a freshman but she has shown enough potential to remain in the upper 25% or so of our rankings. Williams only saw action in the All A tournament but should hopefully get to enjoy an entire healthy Sophomore season for Holy Cross.
- Hazard’s Laura Everidge Laura Everidge 5'9" | SF Hazard | 2027 State KY had one of the better freshman seasons of any prospect in the mountains. Laura averaged 13 points and 4 rebounds for a Hazard team that could have been the youngest roster in the KHSAA last season. She (and the entire program) are ones to watch over the coming seasons.
