Player to Watch:
Carly Smith Carly Smith 5'6" | PG Owsley County | 2024 State KY . Carly is a talented guard that started varsity as an 8th grader last season. Against players her own age, she can score nearly at will. Beyond that, Smith is an excellent passer with good floor vision and can defend multiple positions on the other end.
X Factor:
Chloe McKnight. She’s already got impressive size at 6’2 but McKnight also has good hands capable of pulling down rebounds and finishing around the bucket with either hands. In addition to being a good shot blocker, Chloe also has range out to 15 feet on her jump shot.
Potential Surprise:
Madison Curry. Capable of playing multiple positions, Madison is a good ball handler and passer. She uses her size to score over smaller defenders and can post up defenders or beat taller players off the dribble and attack the rim.
