The state of Kentucky has been pumping out high-quality basketball talent over the last few years. Martin County’s Braxton Keathley could be the next star out of the Bluegrass.
Keathley is playing at a high level to begin his junior season with the Cardinals. Martin County is off to a 3-0 start and is receiving votes in KSR’s latest Top 25 statewide rankings. The 6-foot-5 guard is nearly averaging a triple-double early in the season, fueled by his 29.7 points per game on a 42.9 percent shooting clip from deep. He was the state’s leading scorer last season at Prestonsburg with over 34 points per outing.
