Guess is Mid South Freshman of Year

Crittenden County’s Taylor Guess has been named 2024 Mid-South Conference Women's Basketball Freshman of the Year. The freshman at Lindsey Wilson becomes the program's fifth player all-time to be tabbed the conference's top freshman.

"We are extremely proud of Taylor and how much she has grown and improved over the course of the season," expressed head coach John B. Wethington. "She and our entire freshman class represent the future of Lindsey Wilson women's basketball, and this is an incredible honor for her and the program."

Guess appeared in all 12 of the Blue Raiders' conference games during the regular season. She scored in double-figures five times, including back-to-back 19-point performance against Bethel (Tenn.) and Freed-Hardeman (Tenn.) in February. Her conference scoring average was 8.9 points per game. She also added a 34-for-42 effort from the charity stripe and contributed the team's second-most rebounds, along with 13 assists, 8 steals and 4 blocks.

On the season, Guess has scored 9.4 points an outing and is ranked second overall on the team for total blocks and rebounds.

Guess, who graduated from CCHS in 2023, is the Lady Rickets' all-time scoring leader.

She and her Blue Raider teammates open their postseason at 2:30 p.m. today in the Mid-South Conference tournament quarterfinals in Bowling Green.
