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 7 & 8, because there were a number of other players who also did some really nice things throughout the event.

TEAM-7:
#48 –
Laniah Wills
Laniah
Wills
6'0" | SF
Lapel | 2026
State
IN
, 2026, 6-0 F, Lapel H.S.
– Laniah has proven herself as one of the top talents in Indiana’s 2026 class. She was again very good on Sunday, and she used her athleticism and length to score the ball often in the mid-post and at the basket. Where I think she can be special is, I think she has the makeup to be a versatile on-ball defender.

Ben Davis | 2026

, 2026, 5-4 G, Ben Davis H.S.
– There were a number of talented Ben Davis youngsters at the 250, and Bryonna was one of them who had a nice showing. She has very good speed & quickness, plus she is a feisty and effortful defender. Offensively, she can play on or off the ball, and she did a nice job of getting into the paint.

Addison Penziol
Addison
Penziol
5'4" | PG
La Lumiere | 2026
IN
, 2026, 5-4 G, La Lumiere Preparatory
– Addison is a really nice, traditional point guard prospect. She has a solid to strong frame, some length, and she’s a solid North/South athlete. She has very good ball skill, she finds open teammates consistently, plus she has shown nice touch from the perimeter when left unguarded.
#69 – Kera Dunham, 2026, 5-6 G, North Vermillion H.S.
– Kera is a twin and one of three Dunhams currently at North Vermillion. She is another long, wiry, fast, and athletic guard prospect. She plays with a nice motor, some toughness and physicality, plus she has a solid skillset. As she continues to learn to change speeds, she’ll be even more effective.

Aiyana Cox
Aiyana
Cox
5'4" | SG
Kokomo | 2026
IN
, 2026, 5-4 G, Kokomo H.S.
– Aiyana is a new-to-me prospect, and I thought she had a solid day at the Top-250. She is a strong, fairly physical guard prospect, but she also has some speed and quickness to her game. She is a capable perimeter shooter, she can drive it and absorb contact, plus she is an effortful defender.

TEAM-8:
#31 –
Ailie Taylor
Ailie
Taylor
5'5" | CG
Princeton | 2026
IN
, 2026, 5-5 G, Princeton Community H.S.
– Ailie shares point guard duties on her grassroots team, so it was nice to see her on the ball a lot of the time at the 250. She is a strong, compact, and athletic guard who does a nice job of getting downhill. She can get into the heart of the defense and finish around the basket, or she can find open teammates.
#34 – Keziah Renee, 2026, 5-6 G, Jeffersonville H.S.
– Keziah is a newcomer to Indiana, coming across the bridge from Louisville. She is a very strong, physical combo guard, she has nice quickness to her game, and she’s a capable multilevel scorer. She can get downhill and absorb contact, but she’s also a solid perimeter shooter when set and in rhythm.
#37 –
Emma Simpson
Emma
Simpson
5'7" | PG
Parke Heritage | 2025
State
IN
, 2025, 5-7 G, Parke Heritage H.S.
– Emma had a really nice day going, but she was unfortunately injured midway through her second game. She is a long, wiry-strong lefty, with good speed and quickness. She can score the ball consistently at all three levels, she has a really nice feel for the game, and she can guard multiple positions.
#38 –
Sophie Goodwin
Sophie
Goodwin
5'7" | SG
Lapel | 2026
IN
, 2026, 5-7 G, Lapel H.S.
– Sophie is a long, wiry youngster with nice upside. She is a smooth/fluid athlete, and she looks like she might even grow another couple of inches. She’ll need to continue getting stronger, but she was aggressive to the basket. She also defended well with her length, and she handled pressure okay as well.

Cadence Dunham
Cadence
Dunham
5'6" | SG
North Vermillion | 2026
IN
, 2026, 5-6 G, North Vermillion H.S.
– Cadence is the third of the Dunhams, and the “other” twin. She is yet one more long, fluidly athletic wing guard with nice speed & quickness. She has a balanced all-around skillset, a solid basketball IQ, and she shoots it solidly from the perimeter. I also like how she gets after it defensively.
