Jalen Tyus Jalen Tyus 6'1" | CG John Hardin | 2022 State KY , John Hardin – Off to a 3-0 start before Covid shut them down, the Bulldogs have been led by Tyus and his 17 points per game. He’s waited a few years to be “the man” and is taking control of his opportunity for the 5th region contender.
Robby Todd Robby Todd 6'7" | PF Madison Central | 2022 State KY , Rowan County – Robby had been primarily a role player in his freshman and sophomore seasons at Dunbar but a transfer to Rowan County and a lot more playing time are helping the 6’8 Junior thrive. He’s up to 16 points and 8 rebounds per game for the Vikings and top 5 in the state in FG% at over 72% from the field.
Micah Engle Micah Engle 6'5" | SF Lynn Camp | 2023 State KY , Lynn Camp – Another player who transferred after his Sophomore season, Engle has had a big start for the Wildcats. Putting up 23 points and 6 rebounds per game, Micah is also impressing with scoring efficiency as he’s posting splits of 57-41-77 while making over 6 free throws per game.
Donovan Robinson Donovan Robinson 5'7" | PG Ryle | 2022 State KY , Ryle – Another guard who is proving to be a really good shooter, Donovan is hitting at a 41% clip from deep while scoring over 19 points per game. Very quick with the ball in his hands, Robinson is one of the best players in Northern Kentucky that no one ever talks about.
Hayden Ash Hayden Ash 5'11" | SG Central Hardin | 2022 State KY , Central Hardin – After a strong Sophomore season, Hayden is increasing his production as a Junior. Central Hardin has only gotten to play 4 games so far but Ash is off to a good start at 16 points per game and shooting 52% from deep while also getting to the free throw line almost 6 times per game.
