Trinity Rowe has moved up to #1 player in her class for the state of Kentucky. No real shocker because been best player in 15th last several years. Taking nothing away from Feltner last year because she is very talented or anything away from C.Rowe playing at UK. But Trinity is better.

Best player since when in the 15th region? Katie Ball when she was at Belfry was dominant. Haley Ratliff at Pike Central was very good. What about the state’s all time leading scorer Creech at at Jenkins a few seasons ago?

Since as an 8th grader winning 15th region tournament MVP. Katie Ball was great player but never lived up to her potential. Creech and Jenkins were in 14th during her time. But I’ll say she was probably top 3 all time from the mountains (Creech that is). Pull up all the stats you want to. Add college offers and any other accomplishments you want and I’ll say it again that during her playing days Rowe was best in region.

Rowe is very good. You can make that case she’s best player in region last 5 years but I’d probably go with Feltner. She has the stats and was on a team where she had to put up big numbers to win. Rowe doesn’t have to do that cause her teammates are much better. I do think Pikeville takes a step back whenever Rowe’s class graduates.

Feltner is a high level talent. Couldn’t argue with that in anyway. Rowe does have talent around her and she shows often why she is best player on her team just doesn’t have to every night. Pikeville will not be as good as they were after Rowe leaves but Orem will not be without talent and as seen before the portal has an off ramp in Pikeville
