As the 2023-2024 season reaches the midpoint, a variety of showcases and tournaments are ongoing. In a couple of weeks, conference seasons will wind down, and teams will begin preparing for their 2024 state tournament run. After expanding the 2025 rankings list to a Top-100 and a watch list of another 100 prospects, we are now at 200 total 2025 prospects listed on Prep Girls Hoops Indiana. At this time, I wanted to highlight all of the power forwards in the class who we currently have listed, as well as point out some newcomers and those who have raised their stock since the beginning of the season.

– Elsie and her twin
Ava Ahnert

West Lafayette Harrison | 2025
IN
(2025 SG/SF) have been great this season for the Lady Raiders. Elsie is a hair taller, a little stronger, and she plays more of an interior role between the two. She is really effective in the mid-post and short corners, and she’s a nice rebounder.
Molly Andrew

Andrew

, 2025, 6-0 PF/C, West Lafayette H.S.
– Molly is back after missing last season due to injury. She gives the Red Devils a really nice presence on the interior who can play with some size, rebound and defend, but she also possesses nice skill and can score the ball around the block or in the mid-post. She is very active.
Emma Gardner
Emma
Gardner
6'0" | PF
Greenwood Community | 2025
IN
, 2025, 6-0 PF, Greenwood Community H.S.
– Emma was a really nice surprise last season for Greenwood, as she brought nice height mixed with solid skill to the lineup. She is still probably most comfortable around the block when she needs a basket, but she has some ability in the mid-post and short corners as well.
Ella McCarter
Ella
McCarter
5'10" | PF
Rochester | 2025
IN
, 2025, 5-10 PF/SF, Rochester Community H.S.
– Ella had her moments throughout the Spring & Summer grassroots season, and she was good at a couple of showcases this Fall as well. She has an athletic frame, length, and she moves well in most directions. She plays hard, she can attack off the bounce, and she has some touch.
Piper Ramey
Piper
Ramey
5'11" | PF
North Montgomery | 2025
IN
, 2025, 5-11 PF, North Montgomery H.S.
– Piper has been a critical part of North Montgomery’s lineup the last couple of seasons, as she has double-double potential each night. She has a strong frame, solid athleticism, and she plays with a nice motor. Even as a “power” player, she has some touch at all three levels.
Addison Van Hoesen
Addison
Van Hoesen
5'11" | PF
Hamilton Southeastern | 2025
IN
, 2025, 5-11 PF/SF, Hamilton Southeastern H.S.
– Addison was solid throughout the grassroots season, and she is getting an opportunity to help the Varsity at HSE this Winter. She has some length, wiry strength, and she plays with a nice motor. She has good all-around skill, and she can play in the mid-post or around the perimeter.

WINTER STOCK-RISERS:
Brynlee Clarke
Brynlee
Clarke
6'0" | PF
Northview | 2025
State
IN
, 2025, 6-0 PF/SF, Northview H.S.
– Brynlee has had an outstanding first half of her Junior season, increasing her scoring average by six points to 18.8 points per game. She has a nice, strong frame, broad shoulders, some length, and the ability to play physical inside. She has been primarily a mid-post to low-block kid, but she also has touch outside and is starting to shoot it more from the perimeter, plus she can put it on the floor a little. She was good at the PGH Indiana Top-250 Showcase this Fall, and I’m anxious to see her again this Spring.
Nevaeh Dickman
Nevaeh
Dickman
6'0" | PF
Fishers | 2025
State
IN
, 2025, 6-0 PF, Fishers H.S.
– Nevaeh didn’t play much last year on a loaded Fishers squad, but she is one of their focal points this season. She has a strong, athletic frame, nice length, and she can get out and run. Throughout July, she showed an improved perimeter jumper, and she even hit several trail 3-pointers when in rhythm. She can put it on the floor and attack from there as well, and she has the versatility to defend true power forwards inside or step out and take on wings and bigger guards as well.
Alyson Peters
Alyson
Peters
5'11" | PF
Batesville | 2025
State
IN
, 2025, 5-10 PF, Batesville H.S.
– Alyson is a really nice, small school forward who plays with versatility. She has some length, wiry strength, and she plays with a motor. She is really effective in the mid-post, as she can knock down the 15-footer consistently or get to the basket and finish through contact. She is a nice pursuing rebounder as well. But she is starting to handle and defend a lot more on the perimeter. If she can ever stretch her range to the 3-point line consistently, she could be a real inside-out threat.
