– Gracyn had a standout Freshman season last year, but she’s been significantly better in year-2. After averaging 17.9 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 4.5 steals per game in 2022-2023, she has upped that to 24.3 points, 7.7 rebounds, 4.7 assists, and 6.0 steals per game through six games. She is a talented athlete, strong, aggressive, but also very skillful.

– Tenley was a solid performer who started a handful of games last year as a Freshman, but now she looks to be a focal point of the Trojans’ offense. She has height, wiry strength, North/South speed, plus some bounce to her. She doubles as a talented volleyball player. Early this year, Tenley is averaging 22.0 points and 7.3 rebounds per game for Chesterton.

– Joslyn really stepped up in her first season for the Tigers, averaging 12.6 points per game. So far this year, she has not only improved her scoring, but she has taken on greater ball-handling responsibilities, averaging 19.3 points and 3.4 assists per game. She has really nice length, fluid athleticism, plus she is a smooth shooter with range to the 3-point line.

– Playing a number of younger kids a year ago, Jillian became Delta’s top performer as a rookie. Now, in year-2, she has excelled and is leading them in most statistical categories at 17.8 points, 9.6 rebounds, 4.4 steals, and 3.8 blocked shots per game. She is a very nice athlete with some strength, and she tends to operate mostly in the mid-post area.

– Brooklyn saw quite a bit of opportunity as a Freshman for the Tigers, averaging 6.2 points per game as a rookie. But this season, with added experience and a little more strength & explosiveness, she has become that much more consistent, scoring it at a rate of 17.0 points per game, while also burying 38% of her 3-point attempts and 79% of her FTs.
