Boyd County's Audrey Biggs got one as well as an 8th Grader from Marshall.

Is there any chance that Biggs and Steele play AAU ball together? Marshall looking to get them young!!

I wouldn't sleep on Ava Coleman (FR) from SHS. By the end of her time, she's going to be a household name.

Igo could be ranked over Meredith from a seniority and "fit" view. But MM might be a top 10 player in the whole state.

Keifer (Brossart) is a great talent when surrounded by shooters. If Brossart doesn't boast a plethora of shooters, Keifer's stock could struggle.

Surprised to see Zoe Strings (Paris) posted above Jayln Jackson (Campbell) and Sofia Allen (Scott). Strings can play, don't get me wrong, but Jackson and Allen should both be top 10 players in the region IMO.

Overall, the team rankings look solid. I think Campbell could really surprise some folks. But this region seems like a 5 school race, AT MOST.

I'm in agreement with almost everything that Basketballneverrests commented, except one big change. Macey Feldmann had a great summer and dramatically improved her 3 point shooting. She is a pure point guard, and physically very similar to Bri Crittenden. If she can shoot a good % from 3 (which I think she will), she ranks right behind Crittenden.

I could agree with that. I haven't seen much of Feldmann this Summer.

I think most people on here are pretty close. But if I took a stab at it:

Teams:

1. Ryle

2. Highlands

3. Notre Dame Academy

4. Dixie

BIG GAP

5. Conner

6. Boone County

7. Ludlow

8. Holy Cross

9. NCC

10. Cooper

I know it's a big blow for Ryle to lose two starters of Schwartz and McGregor's caliber. But Maddie Scherr almost certainly the best player in the state, and Crittenden and Douthit round out one of the best big-threes in Kentucky. Dixie, NDA, and Highlands have a shot at knocking them off due to depth and coaching... but barring injury, Ryle has the talent to take the 9th again. Dixie will struggle early without Lawson, Highlands has to figure out life without Barth. NDA's 1-10 depth might be the toughest contender by the end.

Players:

1. Maddie Scherr, Ryle - Probably the best player in KY

2. Bri Crittenden, Ryle

3. Madeline Lawson, Dixie - Healing from ACL tear until at least New Year's

4. Piper Macke, Highlands

5. Sydney Lockard, Dixie - In my opinion, maybe the best pure PG in NKY

6. Jayla LaBordeaux Lloyd

7. Lacy Bradshaw, NDA

8. Jaiden Douthit, Ryle - Deadeye shooter

9. Laci Reinhart, Dixie - In my opinion, the most overlooked talent in NKY

10. Maddie Drummonds, Conner - In my opinion, one of the top 2 true, low-block posts in NKY
