As the the Kentucky High School season gets underway this week, Prep Hoops Kentucky makes some All-Region Team predictions. Here, we take a look at the 9th Region:
All 9th Region Team Predictions:
- CJ Frederick, Covington Catholic / 6’4 Shooting Guard / 2018
Frederick was a leading 3-point field goal shooter this summer on the adidas Gold Circuit. He committed to Iowa just before the end of the summer and is considered one of the leading candidates to win Kentucky’s Mr. Basketball.
- Jake Walter, Covington Catholic / 6’11 Center / 2018
Playing along side Frederick, Walter adds a nice one-two punch for the Colonels of Covington Catholic. Walter has committed to play at Xavier. He and Frederick also played on the same AAU team together (Indiana Elite).
- Adam Kunkel, Cooper / 6’3 Combo Guard / 2018
Kunkel benefited greatly with a summer playing with Twenty Two Vision on the adidas Gold Circuit. After helping lead Cooper to the state tournament final, he followed it up with a summer that earned him a number of different mid-major scholarship offers. Kunkel committed to play at Belmont just before the school year.
- Brennan Hall, Newport Central Catholic / 6’0 Point Guard / 2018
Hall will visit Our Lady of the Lake (NAIA) in Texas this weekend. OLL offered Hall in August. Last season Hall averaged 15 points per game.
- MeKell Burries, Newport / 6’0 Guard / 2018
Burries has offers from the University of Pikeville (NAIA) and Christian Bothers University (D-II). He averaged just over 18 points per game last season.
Keep An Eye On:
- Aiden Ruthsatz, Covington Catholic / Guard /2018
Ruthzatz has committed to play at D-2 Christian Brothers and averaged 13 points per game as a junior last season. Look for him to lead the charge and have a much larger role as the teams leader this season.
- Rico Hollis, Holmes / 6’0 Guard /2018
Hollis led Holmes in scoring last season, averaging just over 12 per game. He shot over 41% from the field and averaged 3.5 rebounds per game.
