Compared to many other members of Brownsburg’s roster, Ava isn’t very tall, but she is quick, fast, and feisty. She is a skillful, talented point guard who allows the Bulldogs to breathe a bit when on offense, because they have needed a more traditional point guard for a couple of years now. Ava is able to initiate the offense, get the ball where it needs to go, or attack gaps and collapse the defense. When she’s on defense, she can bother ball-handlers, she can anticipate as well and will get her hands in passing lanes, plus she is a willing rebounder at her size.

is a young freshman point guard who has stepped onto the scene for Brownsburg with confidence and maturity well beyond her age. She’s already off to an impressive start in her high school career, highlighted by being voted IndyStar Player of the Week after a standout offensive performance.
Against HSE, Ava didn’t put up her usual scoring numbers, but what stood out was her ability to impact the game in other ways. She defended the ball with energy, communicated well, and consistently put her teammates in the right spots offensively—small details that matter for a young point guard running a varsity-level system.
With her competitiveness, shooting ability, and natural leadership presence, Ava is going to be a fun player to watch over the next four years. She is currently Brownsburg’s second-leading scorer, averaging 12.5 points per game, and is just beginning to scratch the surface of what she can become for this program.

Ava was one of the most relentless, aggressive defenders at the Showcase. Not only did Ava control the flow of the court offensively as the point guard, but she controlled her opponent’s flow, too, due to her persistent defense. Ava was able to boost her stats during the 5 v 5s with several jump balls, stolen passes, and forced turnovers. Typically, girls pick an offender to guard and stick with her, but Ava regularly picked up pressure on whoever had the ball, all while communicating with her own teammates about how to structure their alternating defensive tactics. A combination of great defense and a talented point guard is a feature that scouts are surely looking for in players.

Ava has such an explosive step to the rim. Blasted by the defenders and scored, can finish at either side of the rim. Her hop and energy are both strong. Love her energy!

showed poise and confidence running the point. She displayed her ability to create scoring opportunities not only for herself knocking down shots from beyond the arc and attacking defenders off the dribble, but also for her teammates with sharp passing and floor vision. Beyond her skill set, Emberton impressed with her communication on and off the court and her encouragement of teammates in both the 3-on-3 and 5-on-5 sessions. Her leadership qualities and versatility make her a promising addition to the Brownsburg program.
