5 Junior Guards Set To Breakout This Season

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We are more than a month away from the start of the 2024-2025 high school season here in Kentucky. Each of these players listed below will be key contributors for their teams and are due for a breakout season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["376790"],"_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-670e2f5464d34"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I am glad to see Keziah Renee back in her home state. I remember watching Keziah for the first time at the Hoops4Harvest her freshman year at Mercy Academy. She balled out in the game and made a half-court shot during the halftime festivities. Keziah averaged 11.5 points and 3.6 rebounds in 21 games played last season for Jeffersonville High School in Indiana. I think she will make an immediate impact for the Bearettes this upcoming season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["879343"],"_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-670e2f5464d89"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Thanks to the PGH circuit I was able to see [player_tooltip player_id='879343' first='Alanah' last='Dubose'] multiple times during the travel season and she looked much improved. Alanah put up 8.9 points last season, and I expect her numbers to go up this season with the departure of Casey McKinney (2nd leading scorer) and Payton Isom (Leading Scorer) now at Bellarmine University.

Gabby was the 3rd leading scorer (9.6 PPG), had the second-best field goal (46.5%) and 3-point percentage (38.6%) for Ashland as a sophomore. She will be depended on a lot more this season and I think she will rise to the occasion.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["376788"],"_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-670e3fe697557"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I got to see [player_tooltip player_id='376788' first='Miyah' last='Courtney'] compete in-person for the first in June at the Cardinal Classic, and in July at the Run4Roses. She impacts the game in so many ways, whether it's scoring, rebounding, coming away with steals or getting her teammates involved, she can do it all. Miyah averaged 12 points per game last season and I believe she will take a step forward this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["547491"],"_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-670e2f5464e09"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='547491' first='Madeline' last='Butcher'] averaged 11.4 PPG was the second-leading scorer for Pulaski County a season ago. She is a fierce competitor and good things happen when she is on the floor. Madeline had a productive AAU season playing for [program_tooltip program_id='712592' first='Kentucky' last='Premier'] 16U EYBL and will be the main option for the Lady Maroons this season with Sydney Martin now at Northern Kentucky University.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
