Lexi Cash, Mary Smith Mary Smith 5'7" | CG Mercy | 2023 State KY , Emma Barrett or Amy Thompson Amy Thompson 6'1" | SF Whitefield Academy | 2023 State KY , Mercy – It’s hard to separate the 2023 class at Mercy because they are a deep and talented group with limited experience at the varsity level but should have big roles this season after the Jags lost so much talent to graduation. Of the four girls listed, all are expected to be big contributors but it remains to be seen which player becomes the next star for one of the best programs in Louisville.
Madison Brittle Madison Brittle 5'7" | SF DuPont Manual | 2023 State KY , DuPont Manual – One Louisville area follower has been consistent in his DMs saying that Brittle is the third best 2023 in the 502. Part of a deep team at Manual, she may not get her chance to shine brightest this season but Madison is definitely on the radar for a player who could really make a name for herself this season.
Raegan Barrett Raegan Barrett 5'11" | PF Great Crossing | 2023 State KY , Great Crossing – The 11th region is a little down overall but Great Crossing already has the talent to compete with the best in the area and Reagan is looking like one of the best young players in the region and could be a double-double threat this season.
Kennedy Harvel Kennedy Harvel 5'5" | CG Floyd Central | 2023 State KY , Floyd Central – Kennedy was the second leading scorer for Floyd last season and should be averaging at least 12 points per game this year if not more. Two years from now, she could be the leading scorer in the 15th region and a top player in Eastern Kentucky.
Anna Kate Drakeford Anna Kate Drakeford 5'6" | SG Mercer County | 2024 State KY , Mercer County – AK has been a solid player for the Lady Titans for a while now but could be the steady second scoring option that Mercer needs to go alongside Timberlyn Yeast. A good shooter, Drakeford can really raise her scoring numbers if she can get to the free throw line more this season.
