17U DIVISION:
There are 20 total teams registered for the 17U Division this weekend, but only three are from Indiana. Indiana Showcase Black comes in with a solid collection of guards and wings. So far this Spring, I have been most impressed with the play of 5-8 wing Leonie Boyer Leonie Boyer 5'8" | SG Rushville Consolidated | 2025 IN (2025) of Rushville and 5-9 guard Emma Micks Emma Micks 5'9" Beech Grove | 2025 IN (2025) of Beech Grove. Boyer is a high IQ, hard-working wing with good all-around perimeter skill, while Micks is a nice athlete who plays hard and competes each possession.
The Indiana Sirens -Pruitt team is the second entry of note, and they start with 6-1 post Randee Garringer Randee Garringer 6'1" | C Mooresville | 2025 IN (2025) of Mooresville. She is a strong, athletic, high-motor defender and rebounder around the paint. 5-8 forward Bri Gray (2025) of Noblesville is a versatile and strong inside-out prospect who can help Garringer attack the boards. 5-11 forward Anna Karr (2026) is a long, fluid athlete who can help in the mid-range game, on the boards, and defensively.
Also keep an eye on the (Northwest Indiana) NWI Select team. They bring with them one of the state’s better thieves from this past season, as 5-6 guard Kahlen Robinson Kahlen Robinson IN (2025) of Gary Bowman has actually ranked high among steals leaders each of the last two seasons. She is a nice athlete who can also score it from all over. Also monitor 5-7 guard Briana Esquivel Briana Esquivel 5'7" | SF Griffith | 2025 IN (2025) of Griffith. She comes from a line of Esquivel girls who have made their mark on Griffith basketball, and Briana is a capable perimeter shooter.

16U DIVISION:
The 16U Division consists of just 14 teams, with four being from The Hoosier State. Look for one or two of them to make a deep run in the bracket on Sunday. The Lady Gym Rats E40 team is definitely a fun watch. 5-6 guard Denell Jacobs Denell Jacobs 5'6" | CG Warren Central | 2026 State IN (2026) of Warren Central is already a star for the Warriors, and she’s quickly earning that reputation on a statewide level, as she can shoot/score it at a high level or run offense. She’ll get help from 5-8 wing Aubri Ingram Aubri Ingram 5'8" | SG Ben Davis | 2026 State IN (2026) of Ben Davis. Ingram is a long and athletic slasher, she can knock down shots at all levels, and she can find open teammates consistently. Also keep an eye on 6-2 post Raven Walls Raven Walls 6'2" | C North Central (Indianapolis) | 2026 IN (2026) of North Central for the Gym Rats. She has a nice ceiling and could be one of the more intriguing posts at the event.
Indiana Showcase fields two teams in the division, Black & Red. The Black group gets nice point guard play from 5-4 Makaylee Butts Makaylee Butts 5'3" | PG Avon | 2026 IN (2026) of Avon and 5-6 Aniyah Anthony Aniyah Anthony 5'6" | PG Tri-West | 2026 IN (2026) of Tri-West. Both are nice athletes and use that athleticism to make plays for themselves and others. 6-0 forward Haileigh Allen Haileigh Allen 6'0" | PF Randolph Southern | 2026 IN (2026) of Randolph Southern is a strong and skillful forward who gives them a nice presence inside. while 6-1 forward Alyx Kendall Alyx Kendall 6'1" | PF Bishop Chatard | 2026 IN (2026) of Bishop Chatard has a really nice inside-out skillful versatility. The Showcase Red group has an athletic point guard of their own in 5-4 Aubrey Hall Aubrey Hall 5'3" | PG Perry Meridian | 2026 IN (2026) from Perry Meridian, while 5-8 wing Casey Schuessler Casey Schuessler 5'8" | CG Lafayette Central Catholic | 2026 IN (2026) of Lafayette Central Catholic brings a winning pedigree to the team and can help with her versatility.
That just leaves the Indy Belles , and they are a hard-working group of Indianapolis ladies who just get after it. The Belles had the services of 5-4 point guard Jada Frieson Jada Frieson 5'4" | PG Warren Central | 2027 State IN (2027) of Warren Central last weekend, and she’s with them again this weekend, watch out! She is an explosive, tough-nosed playmaker who would be one of the better 2027 guards at the event. 5-6 guard KaMariona Garrett KaMariona Garrett 5'6" | SG Shortridge | 2026 IN (2026) of Indianapolis Shortridge is a scoring threat and had a nice Winter, while 5-4 guard Janyiah Rogers (2027) flashed talent at our Freshman Showcase and did the same for the Purdue Polytechnic team this past season.
