🏀🐉 Jersey Retirement Ceremony THIS FRIDAY 🐉🏀

Harlan High School is proud to announce the jersey retirement of Lady Dragon great Jordan Brock, who represented Harlan with excellence wearing #00. This special ceremony will honor one of the most accomplished players to ever wear the green and white.

Jordan’s career is nothing short of legendary. She is the girls' all-time leading scorer at Harlan High School and in Harlan County (2,997 points), a Kentucky Association of Basketball Coaches Player of the Year, and a 13th Region Player of the Year. Her dominance on the court included multiple regional championships, All “A” State Tournament honors, and record-setting performances, highlighted by her incredible shooting and scoring ability on the biggest stages.

From regional MVP honors to state tournament records, Jordan's impact on Lady Dragon basketball set a standard that still inspires today.

Join us this Friday, February 13th, 2026, at the Wah Wah Jones Gymnasium, as we celebrate an unforgettable career and permanently raise #00 where it belongs. 💚🐉
