Two weeks ago, teams from all over Indiana were allowed to begin their first official practices. As of Monday, November 1st, teams were permitted to begin official games. With that said, what players should make some noise in Class 1A for the 2021-2022 season? Below I have attempted to answer that question as best as possible. These preseason awards are based solely on how I think players will perform this season. Past success is a factor in my decision process, but it isn’t the end-all. Talent, potential, basketball IQ, and several other items play a big part as well. Additionally, players graduate and others step into more prominent roles, Freshmen arrive, plus other players transfer. Roles can change based on any number of other reasons as well. Without anymore delay, below is a look at our picks for the preseason awards and all-state teams in Class 1A.
PRESEASON AWARDS
These preseason awards are an attempt at honoring girls who I think stand out in Class 1A. There are multiple legitimate candidates for each award, and every award is easily debatable, but I chose them based on who I thought filled the description best. Each award is determined through different criteria, as some awards are based primarily on opinion, while others are decided with a heavy influence from statistical merit.

PRESEASON ALL-STATE TEAMS
Just like with the preseason awards, this was another attempt to honor girls who stand out in Class 1A. These teams were selected based on equal parts talent, skill, potential, statistical accomplishments, and team accomplishments. While we can debate who should be where, I do think it’s easy to understand why each of the girls listed below were at least selected to be honored.
