About Cayleigh
Expert Analysis
Darvoni Christopher | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Goheen continues to establish herself as one of the more dependable frontcourt players in northern Indiana. The Whitko power forward brings size, toughness, and a strong understanding of her role every time she steps on the floor.
Her rebounding ability is one of her biggest strengths. Goheen consistently battles for position, pursues the basketball aggressively, and creates second-chance opportunities for her team. Her physical style of play allows her to compete effectively against larger opponents. Offensively, she continues to improve around the basket and has become more comfortable finishing through contact. Her willingness to do the dirty work inside makes her an extremely valuable piece for Whitko.
Defensively, Goheen provides stability in the paint. She communicates well, rotates effectively, and consistently competes on every possession. With continued development, she has the potential to attract increased recruiting interest from programs looking for productive and physical frontcourt players.

Cayleigh announced earlier this Spring that she was transferring from Warsaw to Whitko upon the end of the school year. The Wildcats, who made it to the Class 2A Semi-State, have a ton of guard talent. They do also have 6-2 post Ally Brown Ally Brown 6'2" | C Whitko | 2027 State IN (2027) in the fold, but she’s really the only non-guard in the rotation. Cayleigh gives them the flexibility to play MUCH bigger, as she adds strength, power, and a nice motor, or she can offer a different alternative in the pivot to Brown, who is all arms and legs with her tremendous length.

Cayleigh wasn’t on many people’s radars a year ago, but I think she will be one of the more sought-after small college post prospects this grassroots season. She has good size & strength, she plays with a relentless motor, and she is willing to do a lot of the “little things” other girls just aren’t. She has some skill and solid post moves around the paint, she even possesses some touch in the mid-post, but she might be best at taking second chance opportunities (offensive rebounds) and finding ways to score them.

Cayleigh could very well be an important newcomer for the Lady Tigers this year following the graduation loss of Brooke Winchester. Cayleigh is a strong and physical front-liner who plays with an outstanding motor. She makes a lot of hustle plays for her teams, tracking down loose balls, rebounds outside of her area, plus she rim-runs with good energy. Over the last couple of years, she has done a nice job of improving her back-to-the-basket post moves, plus she has improved her touch in the mid-post. Keep an eye out for her this year.

Cayleigh is on a talented and somewhat deep Warsaw team, but she might get more opportunities this coming season because of her size/strength. She has a solid to strong frame, a little length, but it’s her willingness to seek contact, and to do so with a great motor. She battles inside, rebounds and defends with effort, but she has also shown flashes of some mid-post skill, and she has solid footwork and nice, soft hands around the block. “Sleeper.”

Warsaw was very good this Winter, and while Cayleigh wasn’t one of the biggest names on their roster, she is a really nice interior prospect who has value as a small college prospect. She is strong, physical, and hard-working. She almost always outworks her matchup from the other team. She is a solid rebounder, defender, and she’s an opportunistic scorer who moves well inside without the ball. Look for her to play bigger roles moving forward.

Cayleigh stood out to me almost immediately because of her relentless motor at her size. She is a big, strong, powerful, broad-shouldered post prospect who isn’t afraid to create contact. At the same time, she runs the floor hard, boxes out with physicality, and even dives on the floor and does a lot of the little things. She showed a little skill offensively, but I saw a guard dominated game, so I’ll be curious to see what she can do with a dozen touches per game. She adds to an already deep and talented Warsaw roster this Winter.
