Bluegrass Cardinal Classic: Notes On 2025’s

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Take a look at some rising seniors that impressed at the Bluegrass Cardinal Classic!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='555976' first='Kenleigh' last='Woods'] 2025 Ashland</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kenleigh is a guard with big-time playmaking and shot creating ability. I like what I saw from her on day two against Highlands. She was very effective off the dribble and has a uncanny ability to score through contact inside. She had a play where she drove baseline and pulled off a sick up and under layup over a much taller defender. She displayed incredible body control and made a difficult shot look easy! Kenleigh also had a ton of rebounds and did a great job turning good defense into points. I think there is a strong possibility that she will end up at a D1 school.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1051444' first='Ava' last='Fuller'] 2025 Walton-Verona</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I loved Ava's effort on both ends of the court against John Hardin. She thrived off of points in transition and it seemed like every time she got a rebound she would go coast to coast for a layup the other way. Ava showed off her range with a deep 3-pointer and had multiple put-back buckets as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='502282' first='Savannah' last='Jarvis'] 2025 Montgomery County</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Savannah looked stronger and physically prepared for the next level. She was active on the glass and grabbed rebounds with authority. Her ability to create contact off the dribble led to many trips to the free throw line. She made sure to get her teammates involved and did a excellent job gaining position on the low block to receive the entry pass. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='502133' first='Kyleigh' last='Hall'] 2025 Assumption</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kyleigh is coming off of a spectacular Spring AAU season and I believe she will be a key contributor for Assumption this season. She is a bruiser in the interior that plays physical and never shies away from contact. Kyleigh is an outstanding finisher around the rim and has a solid shooting touch from the perimeter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='917771' first='Gracyn' last='Nealon'] 2025 Greenwood</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gracyn's 6'1 frame and long arms stood out to me immediately. She is very agile and has no problem getting up and down the floor. Gracyn impacted the game in many different ways. She blocked shots, ripped down rebounds, and used her length to deflect passes and create turnovers for her team. She also showed that she is capable of stepping out and making shots from long distance. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='254278' first='Karmin' last='Riley'] 2025 Owensboro Catholic</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Karmin set the tone for her team against GRC. She used her speed, quickness, and handles to get past the defender to finish with a floater in the lane. I also like her offensive awareness and ability to find her sweet spots on the floor. Karmin balanced scoring and facilitating well and played good on-ball defense at the perimeter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='384069' first='Ella' last='Giles'] 2025 Spring Valley</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ella is a super-athletic guard with good size, length and a high motor. She was impressive against Barren County and made her presence felt on both ends of the floor. Ella shot lights out from beyond arc and knocked down several 3's. But it was her defensive prowess that really caught my eye. She had 3 monster blocks, played lockdown defense on the perimeter, and made ball handlers very uncomfortable. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
