September 24th marked the 5th annual Prep Girls Hoops Indiana Top-250 Expo, and it was once again a successful day in the gym. With 12 teams filled with Indiana preps in the classes of 2024-2026, there were plenty of strong players and standouts. Be sure to check out who made the most noise in our “GameChangers” articles we posted Sunday & Monday. At this time, I wanted to circle back and talk about everyone else on Teams 1 & 2, because there were a number of other players who also did some really nice things throughout the event.

TEAM-1:
#81 –
Maddy Bruce
Maddy
Bruce
5'7" | CG
Lafayette Central Catholic | 2025
State
IN
, 2025, 5-7 G, Lafayette Central Catholic H.S.
– Maddy is one of the most active and tireless workers you will find on a basketball court. She always plays with a great motor, she’s a quietly tough kid, but she also has solid ball skill, the ability to knock down an open rhythm jumper, plus she is a solid all-around defender.
#85 –
Emma Wiete
Emma
Wiete
5'7" | SF
West Lafayette | 2025
IN
, 2025, 5-7 G, West Lafayette H.S.
– This was my first time seeing Emma play, and she is an intriguing wing guard. She has an athletic frame, she moves well in most directions, and she plays with a nice motor as well. She looked most comfortable as a wing shooter, but she was also somewhat physical defensively.

#103 – Trinity Taylor, 2026, 5-11 F, Heritage Christian H.S.
– Trinity was another new-to-me prospect who I was unfamiliar with going in. She has a lot of length, a wiry-strong, athletic frame, plus she has some bounce to her. She played with a really nice motor, battled inside physically, and grabbed a lot of caroms and scored on “scraps” baskets.
#107 – Charlie Walker, 2026, 5-11 F, Terre Haute North Vigo H.S.
– Charlie is a nice, strong, “lunch pail” type of forward. She doesn’t show a ton of emotion, but she plays with some physicality, great effort, and just does her job. She is more of a rebounder/defender type right now, but she’s a solid athlete with good hands and some skill in the mid-post.
#108 –
Grace Goldman
Grace
Goldman
5'11" | SF
North Harrison | 2026
State
IN
, 2026, 5-10 W, North Harrison H.S.
– I saw Grace a little in early July, but this was a better opportunity to see her at length. She has a wiry-strong, athletic frame, plus she’s a nice, fluid athlete in all directions. She can handle the ball in a point forward role, she can get to the rim to score, and she has some touch outside.

TEAM-2:
#27 –
Macy Little
Macy
Little
5'4" | CG
Penn | 2026
IN
, 2026, 5-5 G, Penn H.S.
– I saw Macy a few times throughout the Spring & Summer, and while she’s not as tall as her older sister, she plays with similar energy and effort. She has a strong frame, speed & quickness, and she has a nice shot when set and in rhythm. She can also initiate the offense and find teammates.
#35 –
Emma Schoen
Emma
Schoen
5'7" | PG
Silver Creek | 2026
State
IN
, 2026, 5-7 G, Silver Creek H.S.

#76 –
Paiton Mitchell
Paiton
Mitchell
5'6" | PG
Castle | 2026
State
IN
, 2026, 5-6 G, Castle H.S.
– I’ve enjoyed watching Paiton the last couple of years, because she is a competitive, gritty, almost fiery point guard who brings teammates up to her level. She is a willing and capable passer, she can bury open rhythm jumpers, plus she’s an effortful defender who can cause havoc.
#77 –
Kelis Dansby
Kelis
Dansby
5'7" | PG
Rock Creek Academy | 2026
State
IN
, 2026, 5-7 G, Rock Creek Academy
– see event evaluation here in GameChangers
#86 – Brooklynne Adams, 2026, 5-8 F, Northeastern H.S.
– Brooklynne is another prospect I was unfamiliar with entering the event. She has broad shoulders and a strong frame, plus she plays with a really nice motor. She is a physical wing, she’s a solid North/South driver who absorbs contact, and she shot a decent ball from the perimeter.
#101 – Mykayla Mast, 2026, 5-10 W, Westview H.S.
– Mykayla is a very intriguing wing who looks like she has grown quickly over the years. She has tremendous length, fluid athleticism, and she’s able to handle it some, drive the ball, find teammates, and knock down an outside jumper. As she gets stronger, she will only be more consistent.
#102 –
Jalyn Davidson
Jalyn
Davidson
5'10" | SG
North Central | 2025
State
IN
, 2025, 5-9 G, North Central H.S. (Farmersburg)
– Jalyn is an assertive, offensive-minded wing who can fill it up from all levels. She has really nice length, a wiry frame, and she has some speed & quickness to her. She has touch from the perimeter, but I was impressed with her aggressiveness off the bounce and ability to finish inside.
#113 –
Emerson Vlcan
Emerson
Vlcan
6'2" | C
Center Grove | 2025
State
IN
, 2025, 6-2 F/C, Center Grove H.S.
– Emerson is a “wait-and-see” prospect, because her best days are still ahead of her. She is incredibly long, fluidly athletic, but still needs to add a little strength. She plays the “right” way, tries to be physical, and has nice skill. Once she’s able to handle contact more consistently, watch out!
#145 –
Alivia Bolinger
Alivia
Bolinger
6'1" | PF
Concordia Lutheran | 2026
State
IN
, 2026, 6-1 F, Concordia Lutheran H.S.
– I’ve seen Alivia a few times over the past year, but what stood out to me most Sunday was her touch from the perimeter. As she continues to get stronger, her jumper will be that much more consistent. She has a wiry-strong frame, great length, and she is a fairly fluid athlete as well.
