Review: A powerful interior force, Williams had another stellar season for the Lady Cats — leading the team in scoring and rebounding., while shooting 57% from the field and 78% from the foul stripe. “She has been dominant all season,” ECHS coach Jody Booth said of Williams, who has signed with Campbellsville. “She’s one of the best defenders in the state around the rim. What I have enjoyed the most is her work ethic and leadership for our team.”
Elizabeth Grimes
5-6, G, Sr., Breckinridge County
Points per game: 16.3

Review: Grimes enjoyed another highly productive season to wrap up an outstanding career as floor leader of the Lady Tigers — making a major impact on both ends of the court. “Elizabeth is a true point guard for us,” Breckinridge County coach Chad Moorman said. “She is not only our leading scorer, but most of the time she’s the player we put on our opponents’ top scoring threat.” Grimes shot 41% from the field and dished four assists per game.
Breigh Jones
5-7, G, Soph., Grayson County
Points per game: 17.8
Rebounds per game: 3.6
Review: Jones was the Lady Cougars’ go-to player until suffering a torn ACL late in the campaign. “She’s one of those players who’s in the gym all the time, always working to get better,” GCHS coach Mike McClintic said of Jones, who shot 81% from the foul stripe and averaged 5.5 assists per game. “Breigh is very coachable — she’s always pushing herself and her teammates. She’s a scoring point guard and we’re a better team with the ball in her hands.”
Taylor Mannahan
5-5, G. Jr., Owensboro Catholic
Points per game: 12.5
Rebounds per game: 3.8
Review: Mannahan was a key leader for the Lady Aces, averaging four assists and three steals per game. “Taylor has taken leadership of this team by making sure we get into our offense — she plays with a lot of emotion and fire,” Catholic High coach Michael Robertson said. “She has become a better distributor on the floor, getting her teammates involved. She’s gotten better at reading the defense and taking what is given to her instead of forcing things.”
