With the update comes new analysis. Here’s a look at some of the biggest stock risers in the rankings update.
Mia Hale, Estill County – Mia had an up and down Freshman season last year but she was very impressive at the Elite 80 event this fall. She can really shoot the ball and does it with confidence. Heading into her Sophomore year, don’t be surprised if she averages over 16 points per game with improved shooting percentages over what she put up last year.
Lacey Bradshaw, Notre Dame – Bradshaw has the potential to be the top forward prospect in the 2022 class and a real difference maker in northern Kentucky over the next three seasons. Coming back from a 9 point and 5 rebound per game season as a Freshman, Lacey could be closer to 15 and 10 this year. If she is, Notre Dame could be a sleeper contender in the 9th.
Allie Stone, West Carter – Another player who stood out at the Elite 80 camp, Allie is a high level scorer that can score at the rim or from distance. After putting up 20 points per game last season, Stone is likely to be among the top 10-15 scorers in the state this year. And she’s not only a scorer. She can also create open shots for others off her penetration.
Emma Egan, Bullitt East – After being primarily a varsity role player last year, Egan is prepared to take on a bigger role for a Bullitt East squad that has some serious young talent on it. If Emma can improve her 3 point shooting from last season (28%) then she should be a much bigger threat to hurt defenses from all over the floor.
A’Nya Winburn, Moore – Winburn averaged just shy of 12 points and 6 rebounds per game at the shooting guard spot and has picked up interest from schools like Alabama A&M and Western Kentucky for her potential. With Tiffanie Floyd transferring to Central, A’Nya should see an even bigger role this season and that suits her just fine. After shooting 33% from 3 in limited attempts as a freshman, look for her to stretch her game even further this season.
Amaya Asher, Central – Speaking of Central high school, Tiffanie Floyd will now be teaming up with Asher in the Yellow Jacket backcourt. After averaging 9 points and 3 rebounds per game last year, Amaya should see an increase in her scoring numbers if she can be a more efficient scorer than a year ago when she posted shooting splits of 43/25/60. If she can improve just her three point and free throw percentages, Asher should be a 15+ point per game scorer as a Sophomore.
