Overlooked Juniors (Part 2)

The season is halfway over and everything was rolling until the snow put a halt to all games the last two days. Recruiting hasn’t slowed down but there are a few 2023 prospects who should be getting more love right now than they’ve been getting. [player_tooltip player_id="1148042" first="Micah" last="Engle"], Lynn Camp - Engle used the supplementary year to go from 2022 to 2023 and his production continues to be among the best in the 13th region this season. Micah is a good sized wing who is on the short list of highest scorers in the state, regardless of class. At 6’5, he could be a more active rebounder than he is but he checks all the other boxes you’re looking for in a wing prospect. [player_tooltip player_id="1110296" first="Terrell" last="Henry"], Mason County - Terrell recently went over 1,000 career points and shows no signs of slowing down. He’s probably the best player at Mason County since the Setty brothers graduated last decade. A left handed guard who can bully nearly any opposing defender to the rim, Henry gets to the free thrown line more than about anyone in Kentucky and converts at a high percentage when he gets there. [player_tooltip player_id="1124020" first="Zack" last="Otis"], Bath County - Bath is off to one of the best starts in school history and a lot of their success is due to the continued improvement of [player_tooltip player_id="1124020" first="Zack" last="Otis"]. A versatile scorer, he can get points at all 3 levels routinely and leads the Wildcats in just about every statistical category. As a strong combo guard who can light up the scoreboard, Otis should see some more recruiting come his way soon. [player_tooltip player_id="1155608" first="Ethan" last="Cooper"], Garrard County - Cooper has been playing a big role for Garrard for several years now and shows no signs of slowing down. The lefty is capable of scoring the ball all over the court but is best as a catch and shoot shooting guard. Ethan continues to become more active in affecting the game in multiple ways and has become a better defender in the past few years. He's one of the most valuable players to their team in the 12th region.
