Bluegrass Cardinal Classic: Young Talent On Display

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These young prospects put their talents on full display at the Bluegrass Cardinal Classic!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='782512' first='Breigh' last='Jones'] 2028 Grayson County</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Breigh is a tough, two-way guard that plays hard on both ends of the floor. I watched her play on day two against Montgomery County and walked away impressed with what I saw. She has good instincts, awareness and did a great job leaking out to make herself available to score in transition. She also hustled on defense and didn't hesitate to hit the floor for 50/50 balls. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='961289' first='Ella' last='Buckman'] 2028 Bardstown</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I made sure to get a look at [player_tooltip player_id='961289' first='Ella' last='Buckman'] at the Bluegrass Cardinal Classic. I was eager to see what the buzz was about surrounding this young baller at Bardstown. Her game against Ballard was all I needed to see! She is the REAL DEAL and far beyond her years. Ella has a terrific feel for the game for her age and she exudes confidence when she is on the floor. She had countless steals on defense, shot the lights out from 3-point land, and had a couple crafty finishes at the rim including a spin-move layup that almost got me out of my seat! She finished with 21 points in the game and picked up a D1 offer from Murray State earlier this week. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='675265' first='Kendall' last='Kearney'] 2028 Great Crossing</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kendall had her fingerprints all over the game against Greenwood. She knocked down several 3's including back-to-back triples in the second half. Kendall used a combination of crossover moves to create space off the dribble and forced several turnovers on defense with her suffocating ball pressure. Kendall is primed for a big freshman season for the Lady Warhawks and will garner a lot of attention from opposing defenses. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='961279' first='Symone' last='Headspeth'] 2028 Elizabethtown</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Symone is a work-horse in the interior on both ends of the floor. She finished well around the rim and used a nice power dribble to gather herself before going up strong. Symone is a very good post defender that brings physicality to the front court. She is also a relentless rebounder, that runs the floor well, and has sneaky good passing ability. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='903388' first='Lillian' last='White'] 2029 John Hardin </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lillian played extremely well against Walton-Verona. She is a small guard but is lightning-quick and has the handles to get anywhere she wants on the floor. Lillian penetrated the defense with ease and finished with floaters in the lane that were absolute giant killers. She loves to play up-tempo and use her blazing speed to blow past defenders for coast to coast buckets. Lillian brings a ton of energy to the floor on defense and her instincts and ability to the play passing lane is next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='965789' first='Brenley' last='Adler'] 2028 Logan County</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A key piece to any team is the player who's willing to do it whatever it takes for the team to win. [player_tooltip player_id='965789' first='Brenley' last='Adler'] is that type of player! She played multiple positions throughout the event and did so to the best of her abilities. Brenley is very unselfish and likes to get others involved. She played under control, set good screens, can score off the dribble, and knock down shots from the perimeter as well. She has a very good all-around game and makes an impact in many different ways.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
