Maggie was another player I was glad to see back at the KABC Cardinal Classic this year. Highly regarded as one of the best pure scorers in the state, she put her offensive repertoire on full display throughout the event. Maggie is a smooth operator on the floor who plays with confidence and poise. She showcased a polished shooting stroke with excellent mechanics, draining multiple three-pointers. She has great court vision and passing ability, dropping dimes and setting up her teammates for scoring chances. Fresh off adding another Division I offer from Canisius University, she appears poised for a big July live period and senior season.

After leading the state in scoring as a sophomore, Maggie elevated her game even further during her junior season, averaging 23.0 points, 8.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 2.6 steals per game. She became the Lady Jackets’ all-time leading scorer, eclipsing over 3,000 career points, was named 10th Region Player of the Year and earned Second Team All-State honors.

One of the top juniors in the state put on a performance to remember on opening day of the White, Greer, and Maggard Holiday Classic, erupting for a whopping 45 points to lead the way against Dixie Heights. She added 4 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 steal in the dominant outing. The Lady Jackets now sit at 5–4 on the season and will head to Pineville for the Girls Chain Rock Classic on December 29th.

Maggie had a monster season last year and is ready to take another step forward! She made 75 threes, averaged over 30 points and 10 rebounds, and knocked down 285 free throws at an 84.6 percent clip. Maggie was far more than a shooter. She was a double-double machine who controlled every game she played in. Nicholas County captured the 38th District Championship, and if Maggie has anything to say about it, they will claim it again this season!

Maggie is going to turn heads this AAU season! She was on target from deep, showing she can make spot-up and movement threes. She operated well from the high post with a tough ‘and-one’ bucket, and put her passing skills on display, dropping several dimes in the game.

What Maggie Simons Maggie Simons 5'11" | CG Nicholas County | 2027 State KY is doing should be getting national buzz if you ask me. The 5’10 combo guard currently leads the state in scoring with 31.4 points per game. Maggie is a great kid and a high character player. Even though she is having a lot of individual success this season, her team playing well and winning games is what’s most important to her. I watched her game against Bracken County last week and what stood out to is how dynamic she is in the open floor and how good she is at finding driving lanes to attack. She is also much better at finishing through contact and has improved as a 3-point shooter. Maggie’s potential is undeniable and she is taking her game to new heights. (Featured Image)
