The Houchens Industries Girlsâ Sweet 16 could decide more than the state champion this week .
The three top candidates for Miss Basketball are all in the event â all in the upper bracket.
Boone Countyâs Sydney Moss figures to be the leading candidate with Manualâs April Wilson and Perry County Centralâs Kendall Noble not far behind.
The 5-foot-11 Moss, who has signed with Florida, averages 22.8 points and 10.1 rebounds a game. Sheâs got 2,910 career points and more than 1,600 rebounds and is the daughter of former NFL All-Pro wide receiver Randy Moss.
âShe has done everything and we have done everything that we feel we could to do help her (get Miss Basketball),â Fookes said. âShe has done so many amazing things. I canât think of a more talented or more versatile player out there.â
But the coaches at Manual and Perry Central might disagree.
Noble, an unsigned 5-foot-11 guard, will be making her sixth consecutive Sweet 16 appearance, the first four with Breathitt County and the past two at Perry County Central after a transfer. She averages 14.5 points, 9.1 rebounds, 8.5 assists and 7.5 steals and has posted at least five triple-doubles this season.
âSheâs been phenomenal since she has come back,â Perry Central coach Randy Napier said, noting Noble tore ligaments in her knee at last yearâs Sweet 16. âShe has grown up, she has toughened up and has gotten to a point where she answers the bell.â
Noble has offers from Western Kentucky, Eastern Kentucky and Northern Kentucky, and Napier said Mississippi and Xavier are also in the mix.
The 5-foot-8 Wilson has signed with Purdue and is the leader and point guard of the No. 1 Lady Crimsons. She averages 12.6 points, 4.7 steals and 3.2 assists.
Wilson has started all four years and Manual coach Stacy Pendleton said she has near 1,500 career points and âway overâ 500 career assists.

Magoffin's hometown weathers tornado
Magoffin County (28-4), which will take on Ashland Blazer (29-6) at 7:30 p.m. EST Thursday, is in Salyersville, which was hit hard by a tornado Friday.
“It was miraculous that no one was killed, but it completely destroyed the middle school and grade school,” said coach Steve Miller, adding that the high school received minimal damage. “The storm hit the main vein up the highway and destroyed about 95 percent of the businesses.”
The storm postponed the 15th Region championship game until Monday, with Magoffin County beating Paintsville 49-40.
“Basketball is way down on the list when something of this magnitude takes place,” Miller said. “At the same time it became a rallying cry for us to win the last two games of the regional tournament and give the people of Magoffin County and the surrounding counties something to smile about in these bleak times.”
