Player to Watch:
Grant Neal Grant Neal 6'3" | CG North Oldham | 2024 State KY – As mentioned last week, Neal could be the best Senior guard in the 8th region next year. Grant had a big season for a North Oldham squad that was one of the best in the state all season long. A big weekend for the 6’2 guard could net some new college interest from the in state schools that are likely to be in attendance.
X Factor:
Miller Williams Miller Williams 6'7" | PF Lexington Catholic | 2024 State KY – Williams has been overlooked at Catholic because he played behind Reece Potter Reece Potter 6'11" | C Lexington Catholic | 2023 State #212 Nation KY but his time is coming. Miller is a good sized post player with a solid skill set and the ability to knock down open jumpers. If he provides a reliable post presence for the reigning 2024 state champs, they could be in a position to repeat.
Breakout Candidate:
Abram Stinebruner Abram Stinebruner 6'5" | SG Oldham County | 2024 State KY – Abram was the MVP of last season’s state tournament when his team won the trophy. He settled into a complimentary role at Oldham County this year after transferring from CAL. One of the better shooters in the class, Abe is a big guard who can score the ball from deep or in the midrange. With a big weekend, he should work his way onto the radars of schools.
