Abby Holtman Abby Holtman 5'11" | SF Ryle | 2023 State KY , Ryle- Perhaps the next star for Ryle, Holtman has had the good fortune of complimenting some of the top players in the state as a supporting piece the last few years. Now she will look to take the reins for herself, and she has the all-around game and playmaking ability to excel.
Jakayla Thompson Jakayla Thompson 5'9" | CG DuPont Manual | 2023 State KY , DuPont Manual- Much of what is written above for Holtman is also true for Thompson. She has also done a great job in a supporting role on a loaded team but has the ability to be a lead option in her own right.
Taylor Guess Taylor Guess 5'9" | CG Crittenden County | 2023 State KY , Crittenden County- Guess also has a well-rounded game, but she is certainly not a role player for her team. On the contrary, she takes on the lion’s share of her team’s offensive load and is one of the state’s best overall scorers as a result.
Saniyah Shelton Saniyah Shelton 5'8" | SG Bowling Green | 2023 State KY , Warren Central- Yet another do-it-all player, Shelton has all of the traits already listed for these top wings. Perhaps her most standout trait is that she is a strong rebounder for a perimeter player and as such as 20-10 potential.
Kensley Feltner Kensley Feltner 5'9" | SF Lawrence County | 2023 State KY , Lawrence County- Another elite offensive player, Feltner was already one of the top scorers in the state last season as a sophomore. She can get buckets from all levels and has the well-rounded game expected from a great wing to boot.
Kay Freihofer Kay Freihofer 5'7" | SG Cooper | 2023 State KY , Cooper- Continuing the run of great scorers, Freihofer may be the best shooter on this list. She leads the offense for one of the best young cores in the state, and she still has untapped potential.
Kylee Dennis Kylee Dennis 5'9" | SG Sayre | 2023 State KY , Sayre- Yet another great scorer who takes the lead for her team on offense, Dennis follows in the same role as several of the previously listed players. She takes on an especially outsized role for her team, functioning as the top scorer and an excellent rebounder as well.
