Top 5 Teams and Prospects: Regions 9 and 10

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Regular season practice has started all across the Bluegrass state and scrimmages will start in the next month. I wanted to breakdown the top 5 college prospects and the top 5 teams in each region heading into the year. This should not be considered the top 5 overall players! These are the best college prospects in each region.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">Region 9:</span></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1060383' first='Jayden' last='McClain'], Ryle - Only an 8th grader, McClain already holds offers from most every power D1 program in the midwest. She could be the next big thing in Kentucky.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='320855' first='Marissa' last='Green'], Highlands - Marissa is a game changer on both ends of the court. Signed with UIC already, Green has made major strides in her game over the course of her career.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='310828' first='Sophia' last='Gibson'], Notre Dame Academy - Another player who has come a long way over time, Gibson is a disruptive force on defense and more than adequate on offense. She'll go to Yale for college.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='571230' first='Jaelyn' last='Jones'], Ryle - Jaelyn is a versatile player who has steadily improved over the last couple of seasons for Ryle. Her athleticism makes Jones an elite defender at the high school level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='747645' first='Haylee' last='Noel'], Cooper - There are SO MANY players in the NKY area that could take a top 5 spot on this list. Noel gets the nod because Cooper needs some representation on the list. Haylee a top 3 prospect in Kentucky's Sophomore class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Top 5 Teams:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ryle</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cooper</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Notre Dame Academy</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Highlands</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Newport Central Catholic</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">Region 10:</span></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Top 5 Prospects:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='311967' first='Ciara' last='Byars'], George Rogers Clark - Back from an ACL tear that ended her Junior season early, the Michigan commit is hoping to lead the Lady Cards to cut the nets down at Rupp Arena in March.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='739686' first='Kennedy' last='Stamper'], George Rogers Clark - One of my favorite players to watch in the 27 class. Kennedy is both quick and fast with some tight ball handling and the ability to take and make tough shots.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='376806' first='Teigh' last='Yeast'], George Rogers Clark - Not to be overlooked on a loaded GRC roster, Yeast is a stat sheet stuffer who does a little bit of everything to keep the Cards near the top of Kentucky's rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='631218' first='Jailenn' last='Green'], George Rogers Clark - Green has really been elevating her game in the last year or so. She and Byars are a formidable Senior duo for Coach Graham's squad.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='502282' first='Savannah' last='Jarvis'], Montgomery County - Savannah is really talented and can be a big time player on both ends when she's fully engaged. If she can boost her three point shooting this season, Jarvis could average close to 18 per game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Top 5 Teams:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>George Rogers Clark</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Montgomery County</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Scott</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bishop Brossart</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Campbell County</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
