Saturday, September 10th, Prep Girls Hoops Indiana hosted the fourth annual Top-250 Expo. The event, which took place at the Noblesville Boys & Girls Club, included 129 registered participants, split up among all four high school-aged classes (2023-2026). I have already highlighted a handful of standouts in a couple of previous articles, but I also wanted to take the time to circle back and discuss many of the other girls who participated in the showcase. Also, once again, I want to thank all of the players, parents, and support staff who made this event a success!
TEAM 13:
#2 –
Ma’Kaela Drake
Ma’Kaela
Drake
5'5" | SG
Kokomo | 2025
IN
– Kokomo H.S. – MaKaela isn’t very tall, but she’s strong for her size, she’s quick, fast, and she plays with a nice motor. She is a facilitator offensively, but she can get to the rim to finish, and she’s a gnat on the ball defensively.
#18 – Jersey Paul – Carroll H.S. (Fort Wayne) – Jersey is a really nice perimeter shooter with deep range, she’s a solid all-around athlete, and she plays with a competitive fire. She can handle it some and run offense, plus she has a good basketball IQ.
#22 – Mya Davis Mya Davis 5'7" | CG Heritage Christian | 2024 State IN – Heritage Christian H.S. – Mya looked noticeably stronger and more confident from the last time I saw her. She has nice length, she’s athletic in most directions, and she’s taking on more ball-handling responsibilities as a combo guard.
#83 – Kaelyn Ortiz-Vaudt Kaelyn Ortiz-Vaudt 5'6" | CG Concordia Lutheran | 2024 IN – Concordia Lutheran H.S. – I thought Kaelyn had a really nice day last Saturday. She has good length, wiry strength, and she’s an athletic guard. She showed the ability to make a lot of plays while staying disciplined.
#84 – Logan Mouser – North Miami H.S. – Logan is an athletically strong, active, and versatile guard. She can play a little on the ball and initiate the offense, but she’s also an effective scorer at all three levels, and she can defend multiple positions.
#112 – Lindsay Arcella – Andrean H.S. – Lindsay is one of the state’s better prospects who people outside of her area might not know. She is a wiry-strong, athletic wing, with a solid handle and great touch, plus range well-beyond the 3-point line.
#121 – Adrianne Tolen – West Lafayette H.S. – Adrianne is tough to define by position because she does so many things well. She is an athletically strong kid, she plays a point forward role, and she can defend three or four positions at a high level.
#147 – Akaoma Odeluga Akaoma Odeluga 5'11" | C Munster | 2023 IN – Munster H.S. – Akaoma is an imposing force inside the paint. She is incredibly strong, physical, and assertive. She is nearly immovable once she gets position, and she’s starting to finish more consistently at the basket.
TEAM 14:
#8 –
Sara Rosko
Sara
Rosko
5'3" | PG
Roncalli | 2025
IN
– Roncalli H.S. – Sara comes to Roncalli after previously being homeschooled, and I think she will provide great energy, skill, and understanding at the point guard position. She is quick/fast, feisty, and has a natural feel for the game.
#20 – Emily Hawkins Emily Hawkins 5'6" | SG Loogootee | 2024 IN – Loogootee H.S. – Emily is a long and lean off-guard with fluid athleticism and a good motor. She looks more confident and assertive this year, but she could still use some strength to absorb contact when attacking the basket.
#104 – Igboamaka Odeluga Igboamaka Odeluga 5'8" | C Munster | 2026 IN – Munster H.S. – Igboamaka had a good showing at the Freshman Showcase last month, and she continues to improve. She is a very nice athlete with length, speed, and bounce, so as she adds skill, she’ll be dangerous.
#115 – Haley Blackburn Haley Blackburn 5'11" | PF West Lafayette Harrison | 2026 IN – West Lafayette Harrison H.S. – see event eval here
#126 – Kennedy Coleman – Charlestown H.S. – Kennedy is an active, athletic, and versatile forward prospect. She has solid ball skill, the ability to make shots, plus she can defend multiple positions. She can play in the mid-post or around the arc.
#156 – Elizabeth Boyd – North Oldham H.S. (KY) – Elizabeth came up from Kentucky, and she had a solid showing. She has a good basketball IQ and feel for the game, she’s strong and physical, but she also possesses good skill to the perimeter.
TEAM 15:
#10 – Kennedie Burks – Lake Central H.S. – Kennedie came to Lake Central this year via Merrillville, and she will give them another quality, playmaking guard. She is quick/fast, she plays hard, and she’s skilled. She can facilitate or knock down open shots.
#21 – Maddie Nipper – Charlestown H.S. – Maddie is one of the better point guards in Southern Indiana. She is tough-nosed, high-motor, and skilled. She’s a very good perimeter shooter, but she also understands the game and doesn’t force anything.
#23 – Tessa Tonkel – Columbia City H.S. – Tessa is a long, wiry-strong, incredibly active guard who rarely stops moving. She can handle it a little, but she’s a very good attacker who can also hit shots. Additionally, I like her defensive intensity.
#24 – Kiley Best Kiley Best 5'7" | SG South Decatur | 2025 IN – South Decatur H.S. – Kiley is a tough, strong, and physical wing guard. She was really good attacking the basket, she absorbed contact well, and she drew FT attempts. She can knock down an open jumper, and she plays with a motor.
#26 – Kyndra Sheets Kyndra Sheets 5'6" | PG Columbia City | 2024 State IN – Columbia City H.S. – see event eval here
#27 – Mary Harmon Mary Harmon 5'8" | PG Greensburg | 2026 State IN – Greensburg H.S. – Mary was good at our Freshman Showcase, and she played well again last weekend. She has a fairly athletic frame, some speed & quickness, and she’s versatile skillfully and can play either guard spot well.
#124 – Kaitlyn Hoff – North Central H.S. (Indianapolis) – Kaitlyn is a talented athlete who plays with a great motor. She can run & jump, she’s very strong and physical, but she also has the skill to either play in the mid-post, or comfortably outside.

#6 –
Maranda Mason
Maranda
Mason
5'5" | PG
Jeffersonville | 2023
IN
– Jeffersonville H.S. – Maranda is a smaller guard, but she plays much bigger than she is. She has good speed and quickness, nice length, and she’s feisty. She can handle and run offense, knock down shots, and she’ll defend hard.
#11 – Lola Fouts Lola Fouts 5'5" | PG Scottsburg | 2025 IN – Scottsburg H.S. – Lola has a great deal of potential, because she’s already skilled, and she’s still growing. She has tremendous length, needs a little more strength, but she can really shoot it, and she’s a nice facilitator on the ball.
#34 – Gracie Fields Gracie Fields 5'7" | SG Huntington North | 2024 IN – Huntington North H.S. – Gracie is a long, wiry-strong, and fluid athlete. She looks noticeably stronger from a year ago, and she’s playing with a greater confidence/assertiveness. She handled it well, and she defended better.
#35 – Jacelyn Starks – Anderson H.S. – see event eval here
#38 – Alonna Divine Alonna Divine 5'8" | CG Pike | 2026 State IN – Ben Davis H.S. – see event eval here
