<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here is a look at some 2026 guards throughout the state who lead their teams and are competing at a high level this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["818840"],"_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-67810953450d6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Isabella is the proven number one option for Campbell County. Her size and versatile skillset makes her really hard to game plan for. She has substantial range from behind the line and a sweet stop and pop game from the mid-range. Isabella is unstoppable when she attacks the rim with a full head of steam and her rebounding prowess is incredible.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Notable Performances/Accolades</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">30 points, 11 rebounds, 6/9 from three vs Mason County</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>17 points, 13 rebounds vs Bishop Brossart</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>20 points, 11 rebounds, 6/6 FT's vs Grant County</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Averages a team-leading 14.9 points and 8.7 rebounds a game</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Eclipsed 1,000 Career Points</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["724190"],"_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-678109534516a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Myiesha is playing good basketball for Paducah Tilghman, averaging 16.4 points and 5.4 rebounds a game this season. Myiesha has a high motor and her energy is unmatched. She is able to get past initial defenders with ease using her handles and speed and I like her ability to finish amongst taller players inside. Myiesha is a pest on the defensive end and she knows how to harass ball handlers and use active hands to pick away steals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Notable Performances</strong>/<strong>Accolades</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>33 points, 11 assists vs Carbondale Community</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>19 points, 10 rebounds vs Power Center Academy</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>18 points, 7 rebounds, 5 steals vs Hopkinsville</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Eclipsed 1,000 Career Points</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["605643"],"_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-679432762be78"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lilly is a jack of all trades type of guard. She can score from all 3 levels on offense and she holds her own as a perimeter defender. She is a crafty ball handler and a gifted passer with next level court-vision. I've watched her on numerous occasions and her playmaking skills and ability to run the show always stands out to me. Lilly is averaging a team-high 12.3 ppg for the Lady Cats.

She is the type of player that has to be accounted for at all times when she is on the floor. The fact that she puts up numbers like this without many 3-point attempts; being a smaller guard is beyond impressive in my opinion. Caleigh is a reliable spot-up shooter, yet really good off the bounce and she knows how to get into the paint and make plays when she gets there. She is averaging a team-leading 23.9 points per game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Notable Performances:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>32 points, 3 rebounds, 13/16 FG's vs Jackson City</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>29 points, 5 rebounds, 14/20 FG's vs Twin Valley</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>30 points, 4 rebounds vs Belfry</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["633000"],"_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-6796ad9134013"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bayley has been the go-to person for Bath County. She leads the team in points (16.4) and in rebounds (5.6) so far. Bayley is really fast and she excels at slashing to the rim. She has made the most of trips to the stripe this season converting at a 76% rate. Bayley also displays tremendous instincts the defensive end and has shown a knack for getting steals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Notable Performances:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>25 points, 5 rebounds, 5/7 FG, 9/11 FT vs Menifee County</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>19 points, 4 rebounds, 5 steals vs Bracken County</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>15 points, 4 steals, 3 assists, 1 rebound vs Montgomery County</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Recorded 1st career triple-double (16 points, 10 rebounds, 12 steals)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
