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 55 total players in this update. Here are the new guards in the updated 2023 class rankings.
Brooklyn Clark Brooklyn Clark 5'5" | SG Dawson Springs | 2023 State KY , Dawson Springs – One of the highest scoring 2023s in Kentucky at nearly 21 points per game last season, Clark had a big season for her small school. She also chipped in 8 rebounds per game.
Lilly Reid Lilly Reid 5'6" | PG Bullitt East | 2023 State KY , Bullitt East – Part of a loaded backcourt at Bullitt East, Reid played a small role last year and will have a bigger part this season as the Lady Chargers push for another trip to Rupp Arena.
Lexi Cash, Mercy – Part of Mercy’s very talented 2023 group, Cash was just a role player on a Senior laden Mercy squad last season and should see a big uptick in playing time and production for the Jags this season.
Mary Smith Mary Smith 5'7" | CG Mercy | 2023 State KY , Mercy – You can just about copy and paste what was written for Cash for her teammate here. The 2023 group at Mercy has high expectations for their Sophomore campaign.
Amari Lovan Amari Lovan 5'6" | SG Madisonville-North Hopkins | 2023 State KY , Madisonville-North Hopkins – She put up 4 points and 4 rebounds per contest last season and should at least double her scoring output next season on one of the better teams in the 2nd region.
Abby Maggard Abby Maggard 5'6" | SG Knott County Central | 2023 State KY , Knott County Central – Abby can do a little bit of everything. It took her a little while to settle in after transferring over before her Freshman season but look for big Sophomore campaign this year.
Amiyah Collier Amiyah Collier 5'5" | CG Russellville | 2023 State KY , Russellville – One of the underrated players in the 2nd region, Russellville has a solid core and Collier could be the best of the bunch. She’s going to score a lot of points before she graduates.
