<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='486487' first='Kennedy' last='Holman'] enters her senior season as one of the most exciting returning scorers in the Hoosier Crossroads Conference. A proven leader, she impacts the game both vocally and by example, setting the tone for her team on both ends of the floor. Over the past three years, Holman has expanded her game into that of an elite three-level scorer. She attacks the rim with confidence, has a reliable mid-range game, and consistently stretches the defense with her range from beyond the arc. Defensively, she displays a strong understanding of the game, making smart reads and anticipating plays to disrupt opponents. Last season, Holman averaged 12.2 points per game while leading her team in assists, showing her ability to balance scoring with playmaking. The Florida commit has been the Royals' starting point guard since her freshman year, and her leadership was pivotal in guiding them to both a sectional and regional championship last season. With her experience, scoring ability, and decision-making, Holman remains one of the top guards to watch in the state.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Elle is coming off a strong AAU season where she picked up multiple offers and showcased her ability to impact winning at a high level. That momentum will carry into her role at Brownsburg, where she looks to guide the Bulldogs to another successful year. Last season, Elle averaged 12.7 points per game while leading the team in steals, proving her value on both ends of the court. Offensively, she does an excellent job creating space for her shot and is especially effective in transition, where her speed and decision-making make her hard to contain. Defensively, Elle is the Bulldogs' best returning stopper, averaging nearly three steals per game and setting the tone with her on-ball pressure and anticipation. The FGCU commit was instrumental in Brownsburg's 19–5 campaign last year, and with her two-way impact, she will once again be a key piece in the Bulldogs' pursuit of a sectional championship.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='579969' first='McKenzie' last='Chapman'] returns as one of Zionsville's top scoring threats and a key playmaker for the Eagles. She plays with excellent control when attacking the rim, finishing effectively while maintaining balance against contact. What makes her especially valuable is her ability to create for others—despite being a proven scorer, she consistently looks to put her teammates in positions to succeed. Last season, Chapman averaged 12.5 points per game along with 4.7 assists, showing her ability to impact the game as both a scorer and facilitator. Entering this year, she will be leaned on to provide leadership and production as Zionsville looks to compete for a conference title and make a strong postseason push.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='751115' first='Payton' last='DuVall'] has established herself as a strong interior presence for Franklin Central, consistently impacting games around the rim with her scoring and rebounding. She averaged a double-double last season with 12.3 points and 10 rebounds per game, anchoring the paint on both ends of the floor. This past AAU season, DuVall showed flashes of expanding her skill set, displaying confidence in facing up and stepping out to score from the perimeter. If that growth continues into the high school season, she will become an even more versatile offensive weapon. Already holding multiple offers, DuVall enters her junior year as a proven frontcourt force with the ability to elevate Franklin Central. With her production and continued development, she will play a critical role in her team's push for a conference title and another sectional championship.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">With the graduation of Meredith Tippner, C.C. steps into a leadership role for the Millers as their returning leading scorer. Coming off a strong season, she will be relied upon to provide more of an inside presence and consistent production around the elbow. C.C. committed to Lipscomb University this past summer, where her size, length, and versatility will make her a valuable addition to the program. At the high school level, she continues to impact the game on both ends of the floor—using her length defensively while showing growth in her offensive arsenal. Last season she averaged 11 points per game, and with improved footwork and finishing ability on both sides of the rim, she is primed to increase her scoring output. As she takes on a bigger role this year, C.C. will be central to the Millers' chances of building on last season's success and contending once again.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Makayla Hatcher has shown steady growth each year since stepping onto the varsity floor at Westfield. Last season, she contributed 7.6 points per game and played a key role in helping the Shamrocks reach the sectional championship game. Her strong play carried into the AAU circuit, where she earned a couple of college offers and continued to build momentum heading into her junior season. Hatcher excels at attacking the rim, using her physicality and strength to finish through contact. With the graduation of two key seniors, she will be called upon to take on a larger role, both as a scorer and as a leader, as Westfield looks to put together another winning season.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Last season marked [player_tooltip player_id='486553' first='Natalie' last='Thomas']'s first year playing consistently at the varsity level for the Tigers, and she quickly proved she was ready for the challenge. With her size and length, she was able to cover space defensively, making it difficult for opponents to score against her. Over the past AAU season, Thomas expanded her offensive game, showing her ability to run the floor and score in transition, finish around the basket, and hit shots from the elbow. She also displayed range beyond the arc, adding another layer to her versatility. Thomas recently committed to Bethel University, where she projects as one of the program's most promising recruits in her class. At the high school level, she helped the Tigers to a 14–9 record last season, and entering this year, she is expected to take another step forward as a scorer while leading a young roster toward continued success.</p>
