The 2021 season starts officially with practice in 5 weeks and as we creep towards October 15th, we’ll take some time to spotlight a few players who could be difference makers for their squads this season. Here’s a look at some 2022s who could make a splash this season. [player_tooltip player_id="801619" first="Lionel" last="Kumwinba"], Dunbar - Dunbar has been hit hard after Tim Hall transferred and [player_tooltip player_id="1065572" first="Cade" last="Hilt"] tore his ACL. If there was ever a time for Lionel to become a dependable scoring option, it’s now. Look for Kumwinba to get paint touches early and often for new coach Murray Garvin. [player_tooltip player_id="1133841" first="Hunter" last="Coleman"], Bullitt Central - Hunter has been a top name in the 2022 class in the Sixth Region for a couple of years now and is likely to end up averaging 20+ points per game as a Senior. Central is a middle of the pack team in the region but Hunter is capable of carrying them back to the regional tournament again this year. [player_tooltip player_id="926922" first="Hagan" last="Webb"], Boyle County - Son of the head coach, Webb is a glue guy who impacts winning on both ends of the court. Hagan isn’t a headline grabber but he’s a reliable player who does everything necessary to secure the win for the Rebels. If they’re going to get back to Rupp, Webb needs a big Senior season. [player_tooltip player_id="1009763" first="Gavin" last="Allen"], Lynn Camp - One of the biggest Seniors roaming Kentucky, Allen is 6’10 and knows how to use his size around the rim as a scorer and a rim protector on defense. Gavin has been a matchup problem for 13th region foes for a couple of seasons and could make a push to be an all region player during his Senior year. [player_tooltip player_id="1133839" first="Samuel" last="Bowling"], Glasgow - One of the best players in western Kentucky that never gets mentioned, Bowling is a versatile guard/wing with good positional size and athleticism. The Scotties return their top 7 scorers and could be a dark horse contender in the 4th region. Sam could be in the mix for regional player of the year as well.
