Continue ReadingIt’s early in their careers and they’re about to start their Sophomore seasons in high school. There is sure to be huge movement up and down the list over the years as we get eyes on more players. We expanded our list to 45 total players in this update. Here are the new forwards/posts in the updated 2023 class rankings.
Kensley Feltner Kensley Feltner 5'9" | SF Lawrence County | 2023 State KY , Lawrence County – Coming off a freshman season where she put up over 22 points per game on shooting splits of 51/24/64 and averaging a team high 9.1 rebounds per game, Kensley is already a top player in the 15th region. Expect Feltner to keep putting up big numbers, especially as she becomes a more reliable three point shooter.
Sarah Weddington Sarah Weddington 6'0" | PF Lewis County | 2023 State KY , Lewis County – Staying in eastern Kentucky, Weddington is also a new name in the rankings with a huge freshman season under her belt already. Last year she put up 12 points and 8 rebounds per game as a 47 percent shooter and led Lewis County in almost every category. She’ll need to improve her shooting from distance over the next few years but she has time to do that.
Adylan Ayer Adylan Ayer 5'9" | SF Daviess County | 2023 State KY , Daviess County – Another team leader, Adylan averaged 13 points and 5 rebounds per game last year and is a top player in the 3rd region already. Her shooting splits were solid at 41/34/75 and will only continue improving as she gets stronger.
Madison Brittle Madison Brittle 5'7" | SF DuPont Manual | 2023 State KY , DuPont Manual – With loaded programs like Manual, it can be hard to crack the rotation and become a bigger name until you’re a Junior or Senior. Brittle made an impact last year in a smaller role and will be looking for more of an opportunity this year after putting up 4 points and 2 rebounds per game as a Freshman.
Hadley Turner Hadley Turner 5'9" | SF Franklin-Simpson | 2023 State KY , Franklin-Simpson – Coming back from injury, Hadley only saw the floor in 12 games last year but should be a full season participant as a Sophomore. She had 8 points per game on 51% shooting as a slashing wing. Look for her to be closer to 15 points per game as a Sophomore.
Bailey Stewart Bailey Stewart 5'8" | SF Corbin | 2024 State KY , Corbin – A solid contributor with the Lady Hounds last season, Bailey has a high ceiling and a chance to eventually be as productive or moreso than her sister, Shelby. Already a good shooter who made 35% of her threes last season, look for Stewart to be a double figure scorer as a Sophomore.
Gracyn Grantz Gracyn Grantz 5'9" | SF Lafayette | 2023 State KY , Lafayette – Grantz is not a dynamic scorer but she does a little bit of everything for the Generals and fills up the stat sheet. In order for Lafayette to have a big year, Gracyn will need to make some big improvements in her offensive game after shooting only 19% from the field last season.
