The holiday season is a time for many good things. When it comes to Prep Girls Hoops Indiana, it’s a time for our midseason update to the rankings in all graduating classes. Not only have we updated our rankings, but we have expanded our rankings as well. As it relates to the 2024 class specifically, we have expanded from 79 prospects to 90 prospects listed, plus we have also expanded the Top-10 to a Top-25. If you refer back to a November 30 article titled “Rankings Preview: 2024”, I touched on the probability of both Mia Robbennolt Mia Robbennolt 6'0" | PF Bloomington North | 2024 State IN and Justyce Williams Justyce Williams 5'8" | CG Jimtown | 2024 State IN joining the rankings in this update, and yes, they are both on there. With this article, I wanted to discuss five more prospects who have also found their way into the Class of 2024 rankings during this update.

When the season began, I’m guessing Indian Creek opponents were more curious about/concerned with Lauren’s 6-1 classmate,

. While Faith is a talented prospect herself, Lauren has also proven to be a very productive player and a nice prospect at this early age. She is a wiry strong, long, and athletic guard who plays with a great deal of energy and toughness. She can handle it a little and occasionally run offense, but her ability to attack the basket and score have proven tough to defend. Speaking of which, she has also done a nice job at the defensive end of the floor for the Lady Braves. Lauren is averaging 17.7 points per game this season.

, 2024, 6-0 PF, Westfield H.S.
“KiKi” is a player who you have to watch a handful of times to really appreciate what she brings to the game. She is rarely going to go out and get you 20 points, but she is a wiry strong, athletic, and mobile frontline player with a lot of “intangible” qualities. She rebounds the ball well by either blocking out or pursuing caroms outside of her area. She is a really nice help-side defender, who sees the floor and rotates to aid teammates. She also plays with a great motor and runs the floor well North/South. Don’t get me wrong, she does have good hands and feet, some touch in the mid-post, and she isn’t afraid to score. She just contributes in many other ways also.
Sophia Morrison

Eastbrook | 2024

, 2024, 5-4 CG, Eastbrook H.S.
Sophia is a very nice small school guard who has put herself “on the map” early this season. She has a strong frame with broad shoulders, some length, and she plays with good shiftiness (she’s more quick than fast). She has really worked on being skillful, and she’s a talented perimeter shooter with deep range. She has the ability to play some point guard, but she uses her handle more to create space for her shot, plus she can get defenders off-balance and on her hip, drawing free throw opportunities. With each game this Winter, she is really figuring out how to score more and more efficiently. She is scoring in the mid-teens as a Freshman.
Ava Reitmeyer

, 2024, 5-8 CG, Bloomington H.S. North
Ava is an intriguing, versatile, and skillful guard. She is young for her grade, she has steadily grown over the last few years, and she could approach 5-10 by this point next year. Ava has tremendous length, a nice understanding of the game, and she looks like she has worked quite a bit on her handle and her shooting mechanics. She has a nice-looking jump-shot that is accurate when she’s in rhythm. More than anything, she just needs to finish growing and gain strength. It should help her absorb contact, extend her range, and increase her explosiveness in all directions. Ava is averaging 11.8 points per game as a Varsity Freshman.
Madison Wagner

Carroll (Flora) has had quite the start to their season, posting an 8-1 record out of the gate, with most of those games being played in a condensed December. While fellow Freshman

has drawn a great deal of attention for her play, and rightfully so, Madison has also been stellar as a Varsity Freshman for the Cougars, averaging 12.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 2.6 steals per game. Madison is a wiry strong, athletic, and versatile wing. She can play in the mid-post and use her size and motor, or she can handle the ball and knock down shots around the perimeter. One thing is for sure…be leery of the Cougars the next few years.
