From Milyn Minor’s major moments to Morgan Justice’s milestones and Noelle Price’s rising star at Scott to the latest local college commitments, Northern Kentucky athletes continue to prove that the pipeline of talent is alive and thriving.
Whirlwind months for Minor
It’s been an exciting past few months for Scott volleyball standout Milyn Minor, and she’s leaving behind a legacy that will be hard to match. The latest? The talented senior has made a commitment to continue her career at Lincoln Memorial University, an NCAA Division II program in the South Atlantic Conference.
“She’s been with us since she was a seventh grader and has been a big part of our success,” Scott coach Andrea Sullivan said. “She is a tremendous all-around player.”
The 5-foot-10 outside hitter smashed her way to a school-record 2,170 career kills and set a school mark with 1,516 digs. This season alone, Minor tallied 661 kills and 324 digs, helping the Eagles to another 37th District championship, a repeat 10th Region crown and a berth in the KHSAA state tournament.
In the region final against George Rogers Clark, she delivered 37 kills, then followed with 12 kills and 12 digs in the state opener against Lexington Catholic.
Minor’s dominance earned her a third straight 10th Region Player of the Year award from the Kentucky Volleyball Coaches Association. She’s been a fixture on the 10th Region all-tournament team. She was a first-team all-state pick the last two seasons.
Off the court, Minor’s leadership shines as a team captain and member of the KHSAA 2025-26 Student Advisory Group.
Justice is served
Scott senior Morgan Justice is proving she’s more than just versatile, she’s exceptional. On the volleyball court, the 5-9 middle blocker reached her 500th career kill this fall while ranking fourth in team kills and fifth in blocks. She was crowned Miss Fall Eagle in November, a nod to her impact across athletics.
Justice also shines in the pool, where she recently surpassed 1,000 career points in swimming during the Thankswimming Sprint Meet against Simon Kenton.
The Scott athletic department celebrated the milestone with a fitting tribute: “Welcome to the club, Morgan!”
Price is right
Eagles sophomore basketball player Noelle Price is already drawing Division I attention, holding an offer from Bellarmine University. The 5-4 guard received the offer late last month. A preseason all-10th Region second-team selection, she’s poised to become one of the Eagles’ next big stars.
Price averaged 10.6 points per game last season, third on the team as a freshman. She added 3.1 rebounds. She hit 50 three-pointers at a 33.8% clip. Price entered this season with 565 career points, a total she began building as a seventh grader. She averaged 8.7 points per game as an eighth-grade starter.
Her versatility extends beyond basketball. Price also scored four goals and added an assist for Scott’s soccer team this fall.
Baseball commits staying instate
Dixie Heights’ Kyle Flynn is heading to Thomas More University. The senior pitcher will be an NCAA Division II player in the Great Midwest Athletic Conference. Flynn posted a 7-3 record with a 2.04 ERA last season as a junior, striking out 53 batters in 55 innings. He made eight starts in 10 appearances.
Jackson Mays, Ludlow’s multi-positional senior, committed to Asbury College, an NCAA Division III program in Wilmore. Mays plays catcher, infielder and also pitches. He hit .261 with 12 extra-base hits, including two home runs last season. He scored a team-high 36 runs. On the mound, he went 3-5 in nine appearances.
