Below is a quick rundown of the 16U &amp; 15U combined division, with a list of the teams and how they fared, along with an All-Tournament team of five ladies, plus an additional Honorable Mention All-Tournament list.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><font color="FFFFFF">.</font></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><font size="+2">TEAM RECORDS:</font></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>4-0 [program_tooltip program_id='714264' first='OPS' last=''] UA Rise 16U<br>4-0 [program_tooltip program_id='714264' first='OPS' last=''] UA Rise 15U<br>3-1 Indiana GAME #1 16U<br>3-1 [program_tooltip program_id='805349' first='Indiana' last='Prospects'] 16U<br>3-1 Lady Bates Fundamentals 15U<br>3-1 [program_tooltip program_id='712782' first='Richmond' last='Heat'] (KY) 16U<br>2-2 [program_tooltip program_id='714264' first='OPS' last=''] Select 16U<br>1-3 [program_tooltip program_id='1002317' first='Indiana' last='Showcase Red'] 16U<br>1-3 [program_tooltip program_id='715993' first='NWI' last='Select'] 16U<br>0-4 Indiana GAME #2 16U<br>0-4 [program_tooltip program_id='1002317' first='Indiana' last='Showcase Red'] 15U<br>0-4 [program_tooltip program_id='715993' first='NWI' last='Select'] 15U</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><font color="FFFFFF">.</font></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><font size="+2">ALL-TOURNAMENT TEAM:</font></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='834963' first='Lily' last='Scholl'], 2027, 5-10 W, Northridge H.S., [program_tooltip program_id='714264' first='OPS' last=''] UA Rise 16U</strong><br>- Lily has been an instant impact player for each team she has been on, and this past Winter she was outstanding for the Lady Raiders. She continued her strong play this weekend, and she looks like she's trying to do much more off the bounce. She has a strong frame, she's a nice North/South athlete, and she plays with a great motor. She's willing to be physical, rebound &amp; defend, but she also has some touch from the perimeter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='652045' first='Kyleigh' last='Stakelin'], 2027, 5-9 CG, George Rogers Clark H.S., [program_tooltip program_id='712782' first='Richmond' last='Heat'] 16U</strong><br>- Kyleigh stood out in this division because of her strength, toughness, and versatile skillset. She has nice size for a guard, a veteran savvy with the ball in her hands, and she was able to act as a point guard or a wing scorer. She has a nice shot from the perimeter, but she's also crafty putting it on the floor and attacking the basket. She's willing to get inside, absorb contact, and finish, plus she rebounds her position well and can defend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1137345' first='Carly' last='Stevens'], 2027, 5-6 CG, Christian Academy of Indiana, [program_tooltip program_id='805349' first='Indiana' last='Prospects'] 16U</strong><br>- I had heard a lot of nice things about Carly, but this was my first opportunity to see her in-person, and she was really good. She has speed &amp; quickness, solid length at her height, and she understands how to play with pace and change speeds. She can handle the ball, push in transition, and initiate the offense. She's also able to get out and finish, attack or shoot from the wings, plus I think she has the potential to become a high-level on-ball defender.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1225040' first='Ashley' last='Bleke'], 2028, 5-7 G/W, Bellmont H.S., [program_tooltip program_id='714264' first='OPS' last=''] UA Rise 15U</strong><br>- As I noted in an article yesterday, Ashley has been a consistently impressive offensive presence since arriving at BHS back in the Fall. She has a strong frame for her age, she's able to get downhill and finish through contact, plus she has some touch around the perimeter. She is going to be a name we'll hear for years in Northeast Indiana. I like her quiet toughness and strong motor, plus she's willing to defend &amp; rebound at her height.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Kei'maija Hickey, 2028, 5-8 G/W, Muncie Central H.S., Lady Bates Fundamentals 15U</strong><br>- Every so often we come across kids we've never heard of, and Kei'maija is someone who falls into that category for me. I left feeling like she's someone who could turn into a nice college prospect long-term. She has great length, a wiry, athletic frame, and she can run, jump, and change directions well. She showed a solid handle that allows her to get by defenders, but she also has some touch outside. Additionally, I think she can be a lock-down defender.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><font color="FFFFFF">.</font></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><font size="+2">HONORABLE MENTION ALL-TOURNAMENT:</font></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1229598' first='Chyanne' last='Brown']</strong>, 2027, 5-10 F, Valparaiso H.S., Indiana GAME #1 16U<br><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1229374' first='Brooke' last='Dawson']</strong>, 2027, 5-7 CG, Lowell H.S., Indiana GAME #1 16U<br><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='932688' first='Jadyn' last='Drury']</strong>, 2027, 5-11 F, Floyd Central H.S., [program_tooltip program_id='805349' first='Indiana' last='Prospects'] 16U<br><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='882835' first='Olivia' last='Esquivel']</strong>, 2027, 5-6 G/W, Griffith H.S., [program_tooltip program_id='715993' first='NWI' last='Select'] 16U<br><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1225169' first='Marin' last='Koch']</strong>, 2027, 5-10 F, Whiteland Community H.S., [program_tooltip program_id='1002317' first='Indiana' last='Showcase Red'] 16U<br><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='890886' first='Jayma' last='Stonebraker']</strong>, 2027, 5-4 CG, Whitko H.S., [program_tooltip program_id='714264' first='OPS' last=''] UA Rise 16U<br><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1223809' first='Megan' last='Michelle Balas']</strong>, 2028, 5-9 W/F, Hebron H.S., [program_tooltip program_id='715993' first='NWI' last='Select'] 15U<br><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='990165' first='Serenity' last='Conyers']</strong>, 2028, 5-5 PG, Liberty Christian H.S., Lady Bates Fundamentals 15U<br><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='909900' first='Rheanna' last='Grzych']</strong>, 2028, 5-7 CG, Crown Point H.S., Indiana GAME #2 16U<br><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='883082' first='Sawyor' last='Murdick']</strong>, 2028, 5-3 PG, Triton Central H.S., [program_tooltip program_id='1002317' first='Indiana' last='Showcase Red'] 15U<br><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1231136' first='Jada' last='Walker']</strong>, 2028, 5-2 CG, Northridge H.S., [program_tooltip program_id='714264' first='OPS' last=''] UA Rise 15U<br><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1229461' first='Jules' last='Leffers']</strong>, 2029, 5-7 CG, Whitko H.S., [program_tooltip program_id='714264' first='OPS' last=''] Select 15U</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
