Enter [player_tooltip player_id='913673' first='Sophia' last='Newby']. Sophia has great size on the wing and is an efficient scorer for such a young player. Don't be surprised if she's a breakout player in the 3rd next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["675265"],"_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-679d44f239137"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The boys team at GCHS gets all the headlines but the Lady Warhawks are having a great season. Sitting at 13-8, GC is led by freshman [player_tooltip player_id='675265' first='Kendall' last='Kearney'] at almost 13 points per game. Kendall is a volume scorer at the point guard spot but her defensive abilities get overlooked quite a bit. Kearney has the potential to be a big time two way guard.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["973362"],"_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-679d44f239181"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lawrence County ALWAYS has talented players in the girls' program and this season is no different. As a freshman, Jada is averaging 15 points and 7 rebounds per game while making 54 percent of her shots. She's only attempted a few three pointers this season but as she gets more comfortable launching from distance, look for her stock to take off.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["881375"],"_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-679d44f2391d5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Taylin is having a really good freshman season, averaging 10 points and 6 boards per game for a Woodford team that is in the thick of the 8th region title race. Wade brings energy on the defensive end and plays with a mean streak that you don't always see in a player her age. Long term, I expect [player_tooltip player_id='881375' first='Taylin' last='Wade'] to be a top player in the 8th region and in the 2028 class as a whole.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

We are more than halfway through the 2024-25 season but there are some freshmen that are really starting to make names for themselves. Here's a look at a few of the 2028s really making noise, statewide.
