2026 Shooting Guards To Track This Fall

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We are approaching the third week of August, and many schools throughout Kentucky have started the new academic year. The 2026 class is entering their Junior year and are looking to make a mark on the hardwood this season. Take a look at 5 shooting guards to track this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["761884"],"_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-66bd270d71a24"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lyvers only played 8 games in her sophomore season at E-Town but looked good this summer playing for [program_tooltip program_id='716239' first='Lady' last='Vision']. Lyvers loves to compete and is a lethal outside shooter with unlimited range from three. I see her bouncing back and stepping up in big way for the Lady Panthers this upcoming season.

Gadzala is a very good spot-up 3-point shooter with a nice left-handed stroke. She averaged 5 points and pulled down 4.2 rebounds a game last year. I see her numbers going up in her Junior season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["419638"],"_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-66bd270d71b47"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Maynard played at a high level for Arctic Rush 2026 this summer. She is well-known for her long range shooting ability, but she can also score off the dribble, stop and pop from the mid-range, and create turnovers on defense. Maynard led Raceland in scoring (15.1 PPG) and was third in rebounds (5.4). She should be in the running for the 16th region player of the year this season and will more than likely make the all-region team as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["502273"],"_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-66bd270d71bf1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='502273' first='Leyla' last='Taylor'] is a name to know at Atherton High School. She led the Lady Bears in scoring (11.2 PPG) and rebounds (6.7 RPG). Taylor impacts the game in a multitude of ways, whether it's scoring, rebounding or coming up with steals she can get the job done! Her 18 point, 10, rebound, and 10 steal triple-double against Atherton last season speaks for itself. I expect Taylor to make some noise in the 7th region this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["650201"],"_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-66bd270d71c96"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Carby averaged 5 points and 2.1 rebounds per game in her sophomore season at Breck County. She is a good shooter from beyond the arc that shot 52.9% and made 18 out of 34 attempts last season. Carby had a game against Hancock County, where she went 5 for 5 from three and finished with a game-high 16 points. I really like how she plays within herself and does whatever it takes for her team to win games. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
