She surpassed 1,000 points for her high school career. Wayne County finished 36-1, falling to McKenzie in the Class 1A state championship game for the second straight season.
Wayne County High School Lady Cats Head Coach Molly Ashley was named by The Tennessean as Coach of the Year. The Tennessean said that Ashley was chosen for this award after the Lady Cats finished the 2022-2023 season at 36-1, losing to two-time defending Class 1A state champion McKenzie 71-54 in the championship game. It marked the second straight season Wayne County has reached the 1A championship game.
