<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"small"} --> <p class="has-small-font-size"><em>The featured image is of [player_tooltip player_id='751297' first='Grace' last='Lee'] (2027) from Pendleton Heights High School.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Saturday marked the sixth annual Prep Girls Hoops Top 250 Expo in Indiana. This year, the event took place at the newer Farmers Bank Fieldhouse in Lebanon, Indiana, with five teams and more than 40 girls in the 2026 &amp; 2027 classes scheduled in attendance. Below is a look at those prospects who participated with Team-1 throughout the day's 5 vs 5 action.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><font color="FFFFFF">.</font></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><font size="+1">#307 - [player_tooltip player_id='751070' first='Izzy' last='Like'], 2027, 5-5 PG, Evansville Mater Dei H.S.</font></strong><br>Izzy showed out during the final "live" period in July and really helped her popularity amongst the coaches on hand. She was equally good Saturday, as she made plays for herself and teammates. She is a little, quick, fast, and feisty lead guard who plays with a lot of creativity. She does a nice job of attacking gaps, finding weaknesses in defenses, and using her skill to help her finish plays.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><font size="+1">#309 - [player_tooltip player_id='751079' first='Ja'Nyiah' last='Rogers'], 2027, 5-6 CG, Purdue Polytechnic H.S. (Englewood)</font></strong><br>Ja'Nyiah has been to several of the Prep Girls Hoops events in the past, and she always brings energy and athleticism to the court. She has gotten a little stronger and more explosive, and she is capable of making plays both on and off the ball. She is constantly on attack, whether that is getting into the paint offensively, or getting up into ball-handlers as a defender.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><font size="+1">#311 - [player_tooltip player_id='880492' first='Charlotte' last='Caviness'], 2027, 5-6 CG, Rushville Consolidated H.S.</font></strong><br>Charlotte is extremely long for her height, she has a nice fluidity to her athletically, and she can change directions quickly. Saturday, she showed a solid skillset and some versatility. She handled it some in transition, but she also worked off the ball in the half-court and put herself in scoring positions with her cutting. She plays hard, competes, and does a nice job defensively as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><font size="+1">#330 - [player_tooltip player_id='1137316' first='Ava' last='Fenters'], 2027, 5-7 PG, Westville H.S.</font></strong><br>Ava first caught my attention during the Winter when I saw some of her statistics posted on MaxPreps for a highly ranked Westville team. Then, she was really good in a couple of games I saw of her throughout July. She has an athletically strong frame, she's a solid athlete in most directions, and she has a nice poise and savvy about her game, especially running offense in the half-court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><font size="+1">#333 - [player_tooltip player_id='751297' first='Grace' last='Lee'], 2027, 5-8 SF, Pendleton Heights H.S.</font></strong><br>I feel like I saw Grace 20 times this Spring &amp; Summer, so I am very familiar with her game. She has since transferred from Shenandoah High School to nearby Pendleton Heights, where she helps build depth for an already strong team. Grace is long, wiry-strong, fluidly athletic, and somewhat bouncy. She can handle it a little, shoot it a little, and she's good when attacking the basket.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><font size="+1">#340 - [player_tooltip player_id='761189' first='Makayla' last='Triplett'], 2026, 5-11 PF, Fishers H.S.</font></strong><br>Makayla saw a little action as a Junior at Fishers, and she could carve out an even bigger role as a Senior. She has nice length, wiry strength, and she is a run-and-jump athlete who excels mostly as an interior rebounder and defender. She did knock down a wing '3' in transition and was looking to play around the perimeter more, but I think she is much more consistent in the mid-post.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><font size="+1">#350 - [player_tooltip player_id='898326' first='Jordin' last='Sauls'], 2026, 5-9 PF, St. Edward Central Catholic H.S. (IL)</font></strong><br>Jordin was the lone participant not from Indiana, as she came into town from the Elgin, Illinois, area. The thing Jordin did best was set the tone with physicality. She is strong/powerful, and she was willing to seek contact first, establish position, and then finish inside. She also showed some perimeter ability/skill, but continued work will help her gain more consistency outside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
