Whitney lit it up during the team's exciting state playoff run last
season, when she netted 44 points in her team's three state tournament
games. The 25-10 Jaguars made it to the semifinals of the state
tournament after winning the first 9th Region championship in the
history of the program. Whitney was named to the state all-tournament
team, just one of many honors she accrued.
She was also named first-team all-Northern Kentucky by the Enquirer,
first-team all-9th Region, Northern Kentucky Player of the Year by the
Greater Cincinnati Basketball Hall of Fame and second-team all-state.
She was also selected to the Kentucky Junior All-Star Team. In her great
career, Whitney has been named to the all-Region team four times and has
been named as a coaches' Northern Kentucky all-star three times. She has
had a strong senior season, too, with high-scoring games against Mercy

community service. Her favorite athlete and most-like-to-meet is Joe
Burrow, favorite entertainer is Kevin Hart, favorite book is The Hunger
Games trilogy, and favorite movie is Love and Basketball. She also plays
basketball for the Kentucky Premier club team and will suit up
collegiately at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania.
COACH'S QUOTE – "Whitney's success is strongly attributed to her
hard work and dedication in everything she does. Those qualities have
carried over into making a lasting impact for the Cooper girls
basketball program."
— Justin Holthaus, Varsity Basketball
Coach.
