Lexington Catholic athletic director and coach Greg Todd has put together another great four days of basketball. Eight of the top ten teams in the Lexington Herald-Leader pre-season preview participated in this event. These teams are #1 Lexington Catholic, #2 Sacred Heart, #4 Rockcastle County, #5 Henderson County, #7 Clinton County, #8 Elizabethtown, #9 Louisville Christian, and #10 Bullitt East. Other pre-season ranked teams in the tourney are #11 Mercy Academy, #14 Paris, #15 Ohio County, #19 South Laurel, #21 Wayne County, #22 Pike County Central, #23 Whitesburg, and #25 Russell.
Many of the top players in the state played in this star-studded event. Sixteen of the top twenty-five players in the Lexington Herald-Leader pre-season preview were featured in this tournament. The players are #1 Carly Ormerod (Sacred Heart), #3 Ashley Hawkins (Henderson County), #4 Taylor Kopple (Sacred Heart), #5 Johnna Abney (Rockcastle County), #6 Shannon Novosel (Lexington Catholic), #7 Paige Guffey (Clinton County), #10 Amber Guffey (Clinton County), #11 Anaris Sickles (Lexington Catholic), #13 Robyn Jennings (Elizabethtown), #14 Tara Rowe (Rockcastle County), #17 Julie Leach (Ohio County), #19 Brittany Edelen (Washington County), #20 Jamie Thiem (Newport Central Catholic), #21 Ashley Bell (Wayne County), #23 Nikki Davis (Lexington Catholic), and #25 Meredith Marsh (Louisville Christian).
This was a very interesting tournament as Lexington Catholic and Sacred Heart are in opposite brackets and the different polls are split in the state on which is #1 entering the season.
There was a total of 61 games played in three gyms over a four day period,
culminating in an overall championship between the American Division and the
National Division winners. I have provided a capsule report on as many
games as possible with extended coverage on each game I view in its
entirety. Spelling of names varies from program to program and sometimes
the heights of the players are not provided so I apologize in advance for any
inaccuracies in these areas.

Congratulations to Lexington Catholic AD/Coach Greg Todd and the tournament sponsors for putting together such a first class event. Also, congratulations to coach Todd and the Lady Knights on capturing the championship—they are as good as advertised.
I believe this tourney clearly establishes Lexington Catholic as the favorite for the Sweet 16 crown. However, there are several worthy contenders for the crown capable of winning the championship. There were several excellent teams and too many players to mention here. The “stars” lived up to their sizeable reputations and it was great to see stars and future stars from all parts of the state this week. The players of the All Tournament Team were very deserving very deserving, but for a tournament of this size and caliber there were several other players who easily could have made the team.
Pam Bell (Paducah Tilghman) throws as good an outlet pass as I have seen in the ladies’ game. Rockcastle County’s Johnna Abney appears to be back full strength from her ACL surgery. Look out for Rockcastle’s “silent assassin” Heather Hammond—if you focus on Abney and Tara Rowe she will light you up. Amber Neace (South Laurel) is the real deal and the “warrior” Julie Leach (Ohio County) is a tireless worker in the paint.
The Clinton County twins Paige and Amber Guffey will be missed—they bring intensity and unbridled enthusiasm for the game. Kenzie Rich (Monroe County) had an excellent tourney and the “Hawk” Ashley Hawkins (Henderson County) is one of the smoothest operators in the state. Brittany Edelen (Washington County) has got to be one of the most athletic players in the state. Jayme Thiem (Newport Central Catholic) always puts together a complete game.
Taylor Kopple and Carly Ormerod are proven winners and will make Sacred Heart a threat to win it all again. CAL has a very cohesive team with an array of talented performers. Don’t overlook Elizabethtown—Coach Mudd has a very solid team. Several teams were suffering from injuries and still trying to find their identity after graduation losses but will be dangerous at tourney time.
Lexington Catholic is still a relatively young squad with only two senior starters. They have some very talented underclassmen coming off the bench this season including 5-10 Fr. Natalie Novosel and 5-6 Fr. Briana Green. While many people feel this could be “their” year, the future looks extremely bright.
I appreciate the hospitality extended me by Greg Todd and his staff. Also a special debt of gratitude to Glenn Gentry and Gary Long for providing stats for this tourney. Between these two gentlemen and Bob Tonini of Sacred Heart, stats were available and made coverage of this event possible. As usual, I enjoyed visiting with Louis Meadows and Chris Lovelace–true fans of the ladies’ game in Kentucky. This is an outstanding tournament and a real “must-see” event.
