– 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.

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.

– 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.
