Trace Kincaid enrolls at Perry County Central after strong Hazard season

Trace Kincaid has enrolled at Perry County Central, giving the Commodores a 2027 guard who just finished a Hazard season built around scoring and perimeter shooting. Kincaid averaged 14.5 points and made 108 three-pointers last season, production that should matter immediately as Perry County Central reshapes its lineup for the next boys basketball season.

The move was announced by NextUpRecruits, which tracks Kentucky recruiting. Kincaid’s transfer also lands in a crowded local basketball landscape, with Perry County Central looking to firm up its backcourt and Hazard updating its own 2025-26 boys basketball roster on MaxPreps. That makes Kincaid’s arrival more than a name change on a school list, since it affects both sides of one of the county’s more familiar basketball paths.

Kincaid is listed as a 2027 guard, and his Hazard career page on MaxPreps shows he played both basketball and baseball for the Bulldogs. That dual-sport background adds another layer to his move, because Perry County Central is getting a player who has already shown he can stay active across seasons and carry responsibilities in more than one program.

His public X account, @TraceKincaid27, gives the transfer a visible online footprint as word of the move circulates through Perry County basketball circles. For local fans, the immediate question is how quickly Kincaid’s shooting will fit into Perry County Central’s rotation and how much floor spacing he can create for teammates who will now have room to attack off the dribble and in transition.

What is clear now is that Perry County Central did not just add depth. It added a proven scorer from Hazard who made 108 threes in one season, a number that sets an early expectation for how opposing defenses will have to guard the Commodores when the new roster takes shape.
