Alyx Kendall Alyx Kendall 6'1" | PF Bishop Chatard | 2026 IN – Indiana Showcase 2026 Black
Alyx showcased a good skillset this afternoon and is a player with a good future ahead of her with continued work. She has a good drop step at the rim, can get her defender in position to score at the rim. Good footwork. Fundamentally sound player. Moves without the ball and gets into position to be effective.
Elizabeth Alyn Grimes Elizabeth Alyn Grimes 5'6" | PG Breckinridge County Highschool | 2026 KY – Kentuckiana Ewing
This young lady can knock down the 3 and if you leave her open she will hurt you. She hit at least 2 of them in the first 10 minutes of her game I saw on Saturday. Can also put the ball on the floor and push downhill. A smooth and steady player! One on the rise and she is with a good program that will make her better.
Kaylee McElroy Kaylee McElroy 5'5" | PG Bethlehem | 2027 State KY – Kentuckiana Wathen
She is a very scrappy guard who is all over the floor. Defensively she moves her feet well. She’s a good on-ball defender because she is so active. Excellent at deflections. A good perimeter shot, can knock things down from behind the arc.
Jaida Allen Jaida Allen 5'7" | SG Christian Academy Of Louisville | 2026 State KY – Kentuckiana Ewing
Jaida is a player who can play multiple spots, can handle the ball to run the show, or move over and make plays away from the ball. She does a good job creating space against her opponent, slick handles and very athletic and agile. Great court vision and can push north-south.
Calia Jones Calia Jones 5'8" | SG Sacred Heart | 2027 State KY – Kentuckiana Wathen
She is able to put the ball on the floor and get downhill to the rim. Excellent floor leader with good court vision in high basketball IQ. She gets everyone involved. She’s quick to react to the game, she also does a nice job with the pick-and-pop.
Leah Howard Leah Howard 5'9" | SF George Roger’s Clark | 2027 State KY – Richmond Heat 2026
Leah does a nice job getting in the position and sealing under the rim, good short range game in the paint. Nice slasher, can catch and score or push the ball back out. Her game continues to grow, she is athletic enough to create plays, and shows good court leadership.
Maddy Arnold Maddy Arnold 5'9" | SF East Jessamine | 2027 State KY – Richmond Heat 2026
A good strong, physical rebounder, able to put her body on the defender and keep her away from the rim. Does a nice job running the floor, can alter and affect shots in the paint. Good smooth finisher. Rising player in her class, good basketball IQ.
