Expert Analysis
David Fortner | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Hadley returned from a knee injury to shoot 33.9% from three and knock down 43 triples in limited games! In her sophomore season, she was one of the state’s deadliest shooters at 43.3% from deep, leading Kentucky in three-pointers made per game with 3.3. Madison Southern could be one of the surprise teams in the region, and Hadley’s shooting will be a major reason why!

Hadley averaged 11.6 points in 14 games during her junior season after returning from injury. She’s a knockdown shooter from deep and a skilled ball handler and passer with superb court vision. As a sophomore, Hadley was the best 3-point shooter in the state, showcasing her lethal outside shooting ability. Her combination of scoring, playmaking, and basketball IQ makes her a major threat on the floor.

Richmond Heat was a semifinalist at our Victory Region Finals last year, and I’m excited to see them running it back again in 2025! Hadley looks like a point guard to watch with their 17U team. She handles the ball confidently with both hands, changes speeds, and finishes comfortably with both hands at the rim. Hadley is a threat from beyond the arc, firing with a confident release with balanced feet. She anticipates passes to snag steals, and I’m eager to see her compete this weekend.

Plays school ball in KY, but I’m pretty sure her 3 point range extends into TN. She continued to show college coaches that she is one of, if not the, best shooter in the state. Beginning to show a diversified skill set as well….she’s not just a shooter anymore.

played against the best of the best and had a memorable experience during the live period weekend and continues to build up her reputation as the top 3-point shooter in Kentucky. Hadley could not miss at the Apache Memorial, she was in the zone and let off a barrage of 3-point bombs throughout the tournament. When ETA Thunder matched-up against Nautilus Elite, it looked like target practice for Hadley, she knocked down 7 triples and finished the game with 21 points.

One of the best shooters at Apache. Like all great shooters, she has great footwork and does her work early to be shot ready. Is capable of attacking poor closeouts.

French played well throughout the entire event and made her case as one of the top 26’s in the state. She is a gifted passer with incredible court vision, I like that she always had her head up in transition looking to reward her teammates for running the floor. French also took full advantage of her open looks, going 6 for 9 from beyond the arc. She finished the game with a team-high 18 points and dished several assists in the first game against Great Crossing.

French moves up a dozen spots from 27th to 15th and could keep climbing as she just keeps getting better. A good shooter, Hadley’s prospect ceiling will only keep rising as she gets more comfortable attacking the rim and taking contact that allows her to get to the free throw line more often.

Already the best player on the Madison Southern roster, French is going to have to take the next step in her development if they’re going to make the next step towards being a regional title contender. Hadley is a skilled scorer and is going to need to post even bigger numbers as well as being a distributor for a team that needs her to do it all to be competitive on any given night.

Read EvaluationAlyx White | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
French had some of the most impressive numbers that I saw from any 2026 player this past season. While we have her listed as a point guard on here, she’s one of the top shooters around. She led her team in scoring at 14.4 PPG while shooting a whopping 46.1% from three. French can handle the ball with pressure and is a crafty player overall. Her floor vision and high basketball IQ allows her to make some really impressive passes as well.
