Against the Pulaski County Wolves Jermyra Christian Jermyra Christian 5'6" | PG East Jessamine | 2023 State KY had one of the sickest up and under layups, it was so acrobatic I think even she was surprised that she made it. I was kicking myself for not catching that highlight. She is small in stature but she has elite athleticism, leaping ability, and quickness that makes up for it. Christian is a ball of speed that can blow past any defender, off the dribble she it is almost impossible to stay in front of. Her handles are superb and the way she dishes the rock is next level type of passing ability.
Jamie Cowan Jamie Cowan 5'11" | PF Paris | 2023 State KY -OTP Select Black 2023
Jamie Cowan Jamie Cowan 5'11" | PF Paris | 2023 State KY has made some real progress this summer when it comes to the all around development of her game. Cowan was featured in my Lex-Cath series as well and once again she made an impression on me. Against Rise as One she stuffed the stat sheet with 18 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 steals. Cowan showed that her game is up to par and she’s ready for the next level. Every game she played for OTP Select she did whatever it took to give her team a chance to win the game. Whether it was hitting the glass hard for rebounds, playing good defense in the post or putting some points on the board she always produced.
Jhaven Meade Jhaven Meade 6'4" | C Franklin County | 2023 State KY -OTP Select Black 2023
Jhaven Meade Jhaven Meade 6'4" | C Franklin County | 2023 State KY was completely dominant at Run 4 the Roses. She stands at 6’4 and she is a beast in the interior. Her size and strength was just too much to handle, against the Pulaski County Wolves she literally could not be stopped in the post. Once Meade gained solid position down low she either scored in the paint or got fouled to head to the charity stripe. With Meade and Cowan in the frontcourt OTP Select was a tough task to deal with.
Abbigail Beard-OTP Wells 2023
Abbigail Beard played outstanding at the Roses. She has really improved her game since I featured her in my Lex-Cath Summer League series. Beard had a great game against Players First she knocked down multiple three pointers along with some fast break layups do to some really intense team defense from OTP Wells.
Maleiyah Moore Maleiyah Moore 5'8" | SG Scott County | 2025 State KY -OTP Moore 2024
I recently featured Maleiyah Moore Maleiyah Moore 5'8" | SG Scott County | 2025 State KY in my Lex-Cath part one article I mentioned her elite shooting ability. Well lets just say she was in rare form at Roses 4 the Roses. Moore had an incredible performance against Illinois Evolution Navy dropping 27 points with 7 made three pointers. She was really in her groove taking full advantage of the lack of respect for her range. Moore has been working hard on her game and she has showcased her abilities all summer throughout Kentucky.
Kaylen Perry-OTP Moore 2024
Kaylen Perry left it all on the floor every game she played for OTP Moore. She is a ball harassing perimeter defender who can completely shut down the opposing teams top scorer. Against SA Infinity Green she had a really impressive steal as the point guard brought the ball up, Perry met her at half court and just took the ball right out of her hands, scoring a fast break layup that should have been a and one but the referee called it a foul on the floor instead.
Ashton Harris-Richmond Heat 2023
Ashton Harris has a solid all around game she can really do a lot at the forward position. Harris competed extremely hard at the Roses. She gave max effort against the Ohio Lakers, she crashed the boards, and played great interior defense making it difficult to score inside. Harris has that workhorse mentality she doesn’t mind doing the dirty work she’s a bruiser and uses her size and strength very well.
