DELAINEY MILLER
School: Cherokee Trail High School
Year: Sophomore
Height: 5-foot-10
2022-23 averages: 8.4 points, 6.9 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.5 steals
Season highlights: Miller was a big part of the group that contributed to a massive season for coach Tammi Traylor-Statewright’s Cougars, who nearly doubled their win total from the previous season — as they went from 10-14 to 19-6, which included a win over eventual Class 6A state champion and rival Grandview — got ranked as high as No. 2 at one point in the CHSAANow.com 6A Coaches Poll and advanced to the Sweet 16. On a team with quality backcourt play, but not a lot of size, Miller played an integral role in the paint for Cherokee Trail on the defensive end and on the boards as the team’s leading rebounder. She also ranked second on a balanced scoring attack after a season in which she scored in double figures 10 times (including a season-high 14 in a win over Legend). while she also had three double-doubles and had a 15-rebound effort against Eaglecrest. Miller earned selection to the A-Town All-Star Game for the first time.
