Hayden’s versatility was on full display during the tournament. Capable of playing multiple positions, she consistently found open space, knocked down perimeter shots, and attacked closeouts to finish at the rim. I watched in one game she hit 7 from behind the 3 point arc. She also used her length to create problems defensively, disrupting passing lanes and contesting shots. Combined with her ability to rebound on both ends, Hayden impacted nearly every phase of the game.

Riley Hayden Riley Hayden 5'10" | PF/SF Daviess County | 2026 KY made the most of every opportunity on last season’s 3rd Region championship team. She hit 35 threes at nearly 47%, a shooting percentage that many professional players would love to have from 3. With several key players graduating, Riley will step into a much larger role on offense. Her elite accuracy suggests she is ready to become one of the region’s breakout stars this year!
