LEXINGTON, Ky. (WMDJ) - Pikeville standout Trinity Rowe has been named Kentucky’s Miss Basketball 2024 by the Kentucky Lions Eye Foundation and the Kentucky Association of Basketball Coaches.
Rowe was honored during a formal dinner ceremony Sunday evening.
The 5-foot-5 point guard becomes only the third player from the 15th Region to win the award, joining McDowell’s Geri Grigsby who won the award in 1977 and Sheldon Clark’s Ida Bowen who was honored in 1991.
Rowe was a six-year starter for the Pikeville, leading the Lady Panthers to five regional titles in six seasons. She averaged 16.2 points per game this season and completed her career with over 2,300 points and 1,000 assists. She also shot 40.3% from 3-point range this season.
Rowe will be playing for Southern Mississippi in the fall.
Lyon County sensation Travis Perry was also named Mr. Basketball. During his six-season varsity career, Perry became the all-time leading scorer in boys’ basketball, breaking the record of 4,337 points set by Wayland’s “King” Kelly Coleman. Perry currently sits at 5,393 career points going into this week’s Boys’ Sweet 16 Tournament.
