3 Up After Week 1

Taking a look at the top trends and players in Week 1: Three Up: Bowling Green - The Purples had a huge first week, going 3-0 and dominating 4th region contenders Greenwood and Barren County and then throttling reigning 1st region champs McCracken County. Six players are averaging 6 points per game or more with Isaiah MasonIsaiahMason6'4" | SFBowling Green | 2021StateKY leading the way at 18 per game. Senior Jaxson Banks is shooting 60% from three while averaging 13 points per game. They’re missing a couple of players right now but these Purples look really good through a week. Covington Catholic - Another veteran group that looks to be lightyears ahead of the pack already, the Colonels rolled over Dixie Heights, Ryle and Cooper by a combined 109 points in their first week. They’ve got 6 players averaging 5 points or more with Mitchell RyleeMitchellRylee6'8" | CCovington Catholic | 2022StateKY and Chandler StarksChandlerStarks6'6" | PFCovington Catholic | 2023StateKY averaging nearly 30 points and 15 rebounds per contest. With a frontline like that, they may not have many serious challenges in the 9th region. 2023 Guards - The Sophomore class has had a lot of hype already but they’re living up to it so far this season. Reed SheppardReedSheppard6'3" | CGNorth Laurel | 2023StateKY had a huge first week and is averaging over 40 points per game. Jacob MeyerJacobMeyer6'1" | CGHoly Cross (Covington) | 2023StateKY had his own 40 point game on Friday. Jaylen DavisJaylenDavis6'5" | SFMadison Central | 2023StateKY has been playing really well for a Madison Central team that looks like a threat to win the 11th. George WashingtonGeorgeWashington6'0" | PGSt. Michael's | 2020KY and Sam ParrishSamParrish6'0" | PGTates Creek | 2023StateKY are both having excellent starts to their Sophomore seasons. All in all, the 2023 crop looks really good. And that’s without the guards from Jefferson County being able to play.
