<p>Saturday, Prep Girls Hoops Indiana held its annual Freshman Showcase to help identify several of the state's top Freshmen. With 90 prospects from the 2028 class in attendance, this provided an opportunity to see them compete head-to-head, as well as together, in a combination of 3-on-3 and 5-on-5 games. The event was loaded with talent, making it difficult to limit the strong play to just a handful of players, so I wanted to circle back and discuss everyone from Teams 1 & 2. There will be additional articles highlighting Teams 3-10 over the next couple of days.</p>

<p><strong>#41 [player_tooltip player_id='992372' first='Siona' last='Ohime']</strong>, 5-7 SG, LaPorte H.S. - Siona is one of those well-rounded guards who isn't necessarily elite at any one thing, but she's solid at most things.

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>#53 [player_tooltip player_id='992362' first='Lastarr' last='Williams']</strong>, 5-7 SG/SF, Warren Central H.S. - Lastarr is a strong, physical wing who plays with a nice motor.

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>#162 [player_tooltip player_id='992351' first='Halle' last='Daniels']</strong>, 5-5 SG, Fishers H.S. - Halle is a very long, very wiry prospect who adds depth to the Fishers 2028 class.

<p><strong>#620 [player_tooltip player_id='992364' first='Lia' last='Bohn']</strong>, 5-8 SF/PF, Tri H.S. - Lia is a very strong and physical lefty forward. She will look to shoot it when open outside, but she can also play in the mid-post. She plays extremely hard and is willing to be physical, plus she is an active rebounder.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>#859 [player_tooltip player_id='992346' first='Ella' last='Burleson']</strong>, 5-8 SG, Fishers H.S. - Ella already has a veteran's game.
