Anna Hamilton Anna Hamilton 5'7" | SG Conner | 2024 State KY , Conner – The 5’6 SG is going to get a chance to have a much bigger role at Conner this season as they are in a little bit of a rebuild season after losing a lot of talent to graduation. A well rounded player, Anna plays with a good motor on both ends of the court and is a solid defender. She averaged 2 points on varsity last season but should be a double figure season this year.
Gracie-Jo Wilder Gracie-Jo Wilder 6'0" | SG Bell County | 2024 State KY , Whitley County – After averaging 6 points per game last season on the varsity level, Wilder could be in the 12-15 point per game range this season. She’s a skilled and versatile player whose college stock could soar eventually if she shows she can be a better shooter from the perimeter.
Allie Dillon, Montgomery County – On track to be a 6 year starter after starting the last 2 years, Dillon is a good scorer who can score from deep or put the ball on the floor and attack the rim. She still needs to improve her three point shooting to be considered a “shooter” but Allie has plenty of time to keep developing and at 5’10 already, Dillon could be a really good rebounder eventually.
Talynne Shearer Talynne Shearer 6'1" | PF Rockcastle County | 2024 State KY , Lincoln County – Likely the next best player in a long line of good ones at Lincoln, the younger Shearer is likely to be the go to player for the Lady Patriots this season and could be the best prospect in the 12th region in the 2024 class. If her scoring efficiency can improve, Talynne could be averaging 15 or more points per game this season.
Janiya Bailey Janiya Bailey 5'6" | PG Bowling Green | 2024 State KY , Bowling Green – As an 8th grader, Bailey put up averages of 6 points and 2 rebounds per game while shooting 37% from behind the three point line. The 5’6 point guard is part of a very solid young nucleus for the Lady Purples. Don’t be surprised if Janiya and BG win the 4th region this year and are really ready to compete for state titles in the next couple of years.
