Isaiah Andrew, Warren East Senior
Named the Sporting Times’ 15th District Player of the Year, Andrews led the Raiders to their first district championship since 1989. The senior averaged a region-best 23.4 points per game on 52% shooting and grabbed 8.3 rebounds per contest. After helping Warren East qualify for its first 4th Region Tournament berth since 1997, Andrews made a game-clinching block in the district championship as the Raiders knocked off Barren County.
Jari Barber, Warren East Junior
Barber was a major reason why Warren East Basketball made a deep postseason run in both the district and region tournaments. Averaging 7.2 points and 5.4 rebounds per game, the junior center had 11 big points in the Raiders district semifinal victory over Glasgow that helped the program qualify for the region tournament for the first time in 26 years.
Eli Brooks, Barren County Senior
Eli Brooks made one of the biggest leaps in scoring average throughout the state of Kentucky from one season to the next. As a junior, Brooks averaged six points per game. This season, as a senior, he poured in 20 points per game – a 14 PPG increase. Brooks also shot 51% from the field and grabbed 7.8 rebounds per game as the Trojans reached the 4th Region semifinals for a third-straight season.
Aiden Miller, Barren County Senior
Aiden Miller was second on Barren County in both points and rebounds this season with nightly averages of 13.9 points and 7.2 rebounds. In the team’s district semifinal victory over Allen County-Scottsville, Miller led the way with 17 points and 11 rebounds as the Trojans qualified for a fourth-consecutive berth in the region tournament.
Clay Pippen, Glasgow Senior
Clay Pippen ended his career with the Scotties posting solid numbers of 11.7 points and 8.3 rebounds per game. The senior nearly extended his season an extra two games (at least) with a team-leading 11 points and 12 rebounds in the district semifinals; however, Glasgow fell just short of the district championship game as they lost to Warren East, 53-51.
Jordan Turner, Allen County-Scottsville Senior
Jordan Turner did it all for the Patriots this season averaging 17.5 points and 6.9 rebounds per game. He also shot team-best percentages at 50% from the field, 39% from three, and 66% from the charity stripe. Turner led the team in scoring in 23 of the team’s 27 games, including a season-best 29 points in a midseason loss to Butler County.
