TrentNoah6'4" | CGHarlan County | 2024KY and Travis PerryTravisPerry5'11" | PGLyon County | 2024KY, this article is geared more towards lesser known names who are establishing themselves early in their careers.
Brady ShouldersBradyShoulders6'3" | SFLyon County | 2024KY, Lyon County - Shoulders is in the conversation for best pure shooter in the class already. He’s hitting 3 threes per game while shooting at a 67% clip and averaging 13 points per game for the undefeated Lyons. Lyon County cleared a huge hurdle in their quest to make the Kentucky All A state tournament when they beat University Heights on Tuesday.
Junius BurrellJuniusBurrell5'8" | PGGreat Crossing | 2024KY, Great Crossing - Burrell isn’t very big but he is very quick and shifty with the ball in his hands. Junius has been coming off the bench so far but it may not be long before the point guard cracks the starting lineup. As long as he continues to develop and learns how to change speeds in the half court, Burrell could be one to watch in the 11th region over the next 4

Vince DawsonVinceDawson6'3" | SFGreat Crossing | 2024KY, Great Crossing - Another part of the youth movement at Great Crossing, Dawson is another freshman who probably belongs in the starting lineup sooner than later for the Warhawks. Vince has solid shot mechanics and an obvious skill level when attacking the rim. If he grows a couple of inches, Dawson needs to be on the radar for college coaches as an athletic wing prospect.
Austin SperryAustinSperry6'3" | SFBreathitt County | 2024KY, Breathitt County - The latest high scoring wing from the mountains, Sperry is averaging 19 points per game and shooting 43% from behind the three point line and helping Breathitt to a 3-1 record through 4 games. His ceiling as a prospect will likely be determined during AAU season but Austin is showing that he’s a capable scorer against varsity competition.
Ethan DunnEthanDunn5'11" | CGParis | 2024KY, Paris - Paris has limped to an 0-3 start to their season but Dunn has been an early bright spot for the Greyhounds. New coach George Baker was a star guard himself and is certainly molding Ethan in his image over the next couple of years. Keep an eye on his development as a top 2024 in the 10th region.
