Addison was the engine behind a Boyle County team that finished 27–5 and established itself as the top team in the 12th Region, capturing its first 45th District title since 2007. She led the team with 18.0 points per game while shooting 34.6% from three-point range and an efficient 80.1% from the free-throw line. A fearless scorer, Addison reached the 1,000-point milestone in her career and consistently delivered in big moments throughout the season. Her production earned her First Team All-Region honors, solidifying her impact on one of the states top teams.

Addison is a proven shooter and scorer who can flip a game in a hurry. She has great size at the guard position, attacks off the bounce when needed, but is at her most dangerous when she gets rolling from beyond the three point arc. Once she sees one go through, she can string together big scoring runs quickly. Addison is averaging 18.9 ppg, leading her team in both three pointers made and three point percentage. Pure scorer!

Addison had a standout freshman season, leading Boyle County in scoring with 16.2 points per game while shooting an impressive 83% from the free throw line. Addison is a high-volume three-point shooter with excellent mechanics and a pure shooting stroke, but she can also put the ball on the floor and create off the bounce. She looked sharp at Grassroots in Gem City recently, showing no signs of slowing down since the high school season. Addison is continuing to elevate her game this spring and summer on the EYBL circuit with Kentucky Premier 15U. She’s definitely a name to keep on the radar.

Boyle County sharpshooter Addison Yates Addison Yates 5'10" | SG Boyle County | 2028 State KY rounds out the top 5. Addison has good size and great mechanics. She is a volume 3-point shooter that can knock down an array of 3’s per game; all it takes is for her to see a couple shots go in. I think Addison has a lot of potential and from what I hear she is a hard worker that strives to get better and better.

Another standout who happens to play two sport – both during the spring semester. As much as Yates has shown out on the basketball court, she does the same on the softball diamond. And as much as she showcases her talents at Boyle County, she does the same with Kentucky Premier EYBL 14U. Yates averaged 10.4 points a game last season. Yates’ outstanding play also contributed to the Rebels finding its first 19-game winning season since 2013-14. As much as Yates thrives as an outside shooter, she can also do the same as a passer and in the transition game. Yates’ shooting capabilities certainly make it fitting that she plays primarily as a shooting guard, but her 5-foot-9 is something that is indicative of many threes and fours. 

I have a soft spot in my heart for a good shooter and Addison was likely the best one at the event on Saturday. She has great size for a wing and had some of the most fluid mechanics of anyone at the event. Yates will have to get more comfortable putting the ball on the floor and attacking but she has potential to be the best player in this class from what I’ve seen.

Kentucky has a reputation for producing prospects that can flat out shoot the basketball. So, saying someone is one of the top shooters in the state should not just be thrown around. But after what I saw today Addison Yates Addison Yates 5'10" | SG Boyle County | 2028 State KY could most definitely make a case. I watched her go off for at least 30 points along with 5 triples and it looked like another day in the office for Yates. You know a player can shoot when most of their makes hit nothing but the bottom of the net! (Featured Image)
