Reed Sheppard shines, earns MVP at 2021 King of the Bluegrass tournament

Over the last several days, Kentucky Men’s Basketball commit Reed Sheppard had the opportunity to defend his reputation as the top basketball player in the Bluegrass State. Since choosing the Wildcats last month, this was his first high-profile stretch of games–and his North Laurel squad stared down a tough potential run to a title.

Playing in front of droves of Kentucky fans, Sheppard put on a show.

One by one, Sheppard and the Jaguars picked off a group of very different challenges. In spite of a quick turnaround in travel, North Laurel snuck out of the first round against Eastern.
