Reed Sheppard is bringing home some hardware.
After an impressive junior season, the Kentucky Wildcats commit and North Laurel star was announced as the Kentucky Gatorade Player of the Year on Friday. With this announcement, Sheppard is now eligible to win the Gatorade National Player of the Year award. That will be announced later in March.
Although the Jaguars season ended in the state tournament this week with a loss to Pikeville, Sheppard still put up some outrageous numbers in his junior season. He finished the year averaging 25.5 points on 55% percent shooting from the field and 38% from three.
