Heading into the season, there are several teams who can win it all and plenty of players that are primed for big seasons. Even if Mr. Basketball is already decided. Keep in mind that the player of the year has to be a Senior!
Ninth Region:
Champs: Covington Catholic. It’s really a three horse race between them, Newport and Cooper. Coin flip pick. I guess I’ll take Cov Cath.
POY: Caden Miller, Covington Catholic
Tenth Region:
Champs: George Rogers Clark. It’s either them or Mason County that’s most likely to win it. Let’s take the defending champs to stay on top.
POY: Blake Reed Blake Reed 5'10" | PG Mason County | 2024 KY , Mason County
Eleventh Region:
Champs: Frederick Douglass. Hard to pick against Great Crossing but Douglass could be their kryptonite with their guards and high pace.
POY: Jay Rose Jay Rose 6'4" | SG Madison Southern | 2024 State KY , Madison Southern
Twelfth Region:
Champs: Danville Christian. This may be the most wide open region in the state. Hard to pick.
POY: Owen Barnes Owen Barnes 6'3" | SF Mercer County | 2024 State KY , Mercer County
Thirteenth Region:
Champs: Harlan County. If the Black Bears don’t win it this year, they may never win it.
POY: Trent Noah Trent Noah 6'7" | SF Harlan County | 2024 State #139 Nation KY , Harlan County
Fourteenth Region:
Champs: Breathitt County. Another wide open region. I’ll roll with the Bobcats to run it back.
POY: Skylar Ritchie Skylar Ritchie 6'8" | C Wolfe County | 2024 State KY , Wolfe County
Fifteenth Region:
Champs: Pikeville. It’s either them or Martin County. I’ll take the Panthers.
POY: Jaylan Rigdon Jaylan Rigdon 6'0" | PG Pike County Central | 2024 State KY , Pike County Central
Sixteenth Region:
Champs: Ashland Blazer. Another tight region but until someone stops them, I’ll take Ashland.
POY: , Bath County
