First one I remember was Donna Murphy. I'm a little older than most on here, though.

 

Excellent call papa. The 1st ever Ky Miss Basketball (1976 - Newport High School)

Donna Murphy is unquestionably a top 5 player all time in KY girls high school history.

How tall and what position did she play? Did she transfer to Northern?

I believe she was around 6'0"-6'2" and the 2 guard. Don't know about the NKU question

She played for Morehead State. A girl from my school, Frances Moore, was a teammate. They called her "Murph". I saw her play a few times. If memory serves me correctly she was a lefty guard and could jump out of the gym. Had a beautiful jump shot.

Ukari Figgs (1995) Scott County H. S.

She may be the only player in the state to win a high school state championship, an NCAA Championship (Purdue), and a WNBA championship.

Sidney Moss - Boone -Florida and TMC

Jamie Walze - Highlands - ????

Jackie Bearden-Dixie Heights - EKU

Those are my top 3. Too hard to separate the rest.

If you are talking about all time players in the 9th region then maybe so, but the only one from those three that can possibly rank all time in KY history is Walz.

Ukari Figgs - Scott Co.

Lisa Harrison - Lou. Southern

Adia Mathies - Iroquois

Crystal Kelly - Sacred Heart

Sydney Moss - Boone County

Ok. Hard to imagine Moss, SEC freshman of the year and two time NCAA division 3 National Champion (undefeated two years in a row.)

 

I am a 9th region fan all the way. Have not seen every great player from around the state, but those three are on my list. Who are your top five?

Boley

D. Murphy

Harrison

Figgs

Walz

Lisa Collins or Sharon Garlan from Laurel County. Two of the greatest to ever play.

I can't believe no one has mentioned Whitney Creech.

First one I remember was Donna Murphy. I'm a little older than most on here, though.

You beat me to it!

 

Not the comment on your age, but mentioning Donna Murphy as one of the states greatest.

Anyone have the list of Miss Basketball winners
