To start,... Sarah Elliott was not 2004 Kentucky Ms. Basketball as I'm pretty sure Crystal Kelly was..

Before it's all over, we'll put Zakiyah Johnson and Leah Macy on this list too.

Good catch!

Erica Hallman, Holmes, Ms. Basketball in Ky...played at Kansas and averaged 14 points a game.

Celeste Hill, Holmes, had a very good career at Old Dominion, later coached at Holmes and assisted at Old Dominion.

 

 

Figgs from Scott County and Purdue.

Don’t know many stats but :

Kyra Elzy, Oldham County mid 90s

Scored over 3,000 pts in high school

Played for the Legendary Coach - Pat Summitt and won a couple National Championships

Debbie Miller from Casey County (early 80's) and UK

I'm not sure what her high school stats were exactly but she averaged over 20 ppg from her sophomore year on.

She was a 1,000 point scorer for UK and set the record at the time for consecutive free throws.

Lisa Harrison - 6-1 Forward Louisville Southern 1985-1989 3469 points scored in high school. MVP State Tournament 1988 Miss Basketball 1989 All State 1987, 1988, and 1989.  University of Tennessee 1989-1993 National championship in 1991 Played in the WNBA.

Probably slot Erin Boley in no lower than No. 4.  

Sara Hammond from Rockcastle Co. led team to state championship. Miss Basketball, played at UofL, and pretty sure that she was the first from the state to be a McDonald's All American.

Sydney moss?? Boone County not sure on exact stats but she was the best I've ever saw.
