Continue ReadingYeah. I’m behind schedule for me. But I was busy watching SO MUCH GIRLS BASKETBALL. Once this article is done I still have 24 teams to write about from the Holiday Tournaments alone. And just wait until you see the All A Classic coverage. But don’t forget to read this one first.
Lots of great players in this one from regions I don’t often get the chance to travel to. This might be the only place to read about them this year and a few of them are Seniors. Don’t miss out on them, Coach.
Halle Langhi Halle Langhi 6'1" | C Marshall County | 2022 State KY – ’22 6’3″/C – Marshall County
Langhi has a well-developed post-up game with a baby hook over her left shoulder, a very quick pivot/turn move, a power dribble turnaround jumper 3 to 4 footer over the left or right shoulder, a left-handed floater near the basket, and the ability to seal off a fronting defender to receive lob passes for the layin. She also makes free-throw line jumpers and her free throws.
She tallied 18 points, 11 rebounds when I was watching and averaged 17 points, 8 rebounds during the tournament.
Skylar Waller Skylar Waller 5'7" | PG Marshall County | 2025 State KY – ’25 5’1″/PG – Marshall County
Waller is a talented, hard-driving, young Point Guard that is sure to be a featured player for a few more seasons. She made 93.3% of her foul shots during the tournament and averaged 10 points and 3.5 rebounds, which is several for a Point Guard. She scored 16 points and had 7 rebounds while making al 8 of her free throws during the Championship game, which I attended.
Jada Driver Jada Driver 5'8" | SF Marshall County | 2022 State KY – ’22 5’11″/SF – Marshall County
Driver scored 9 points, shooting 3 of 9 from three-point range, and averaged 15 points, making 50% of her three-point shots in the tournament (18/36). She made a wing lob pass for an assist and made threes from the top and both wings.
Hailee Johnson Hailee Johnson 5'9" | CG Owensboro Catholic | 2024 State KY – ’24 5’8″/CG – Owensboro Catholic
Johnson averaged 13 points while making 55% of her threes during the tournament and made 5 of 6 free throws down the stretch to seal a 3 point win in the Championship game. Those free throws were 5 of her team’s final 7 points in the game.
She stays after the ball for a 4-foot jumper, a two-dribble blowby from the left wing for a layup, a layup high off the glass through contact, and the following free throw. During press defense, she scored a layup off a loose ball and tracked down a deflected pass for a steal and then made an assist to a teammate open under the hoop on the break for a layin.
Karmin Riley Karmin Riley 5'7" | CG Owensboro Catholic | 2025 State KY – ’25 5’6″/CG – Owensboro Catholic
Riley averaged 12 points while shooting 41% from three-point range and scored 21 points in the championship game. She made multiple threes from the left corner and some from both wings.
Katie Riney – ’23 5’6″/CG – Owensboro Catholic
Riney grabbed 8 rebounds and scored 9 points and averaged 9.75 points, 6.5 rebounds, and made 50% of her three-point attempts. She made 2 crucial free throws down the stretch to help seal a 3 point win.

She scored on a left-handed curling drive for a layup, a layup through heavy contact, and the free throw to follow.
