Now that it’s August, I have been sitting around thinking about the players and games I saw throughout the Spring and Summer. I decided to assemble a handful of post-Summer honor teams, strictly for entertainment purposes. While I realize there are probably several additional girls who could be considered for each of these teams, I selected the five who I thought stood out the most when I was able to see them. Let me be clear…this is based solely on the grassroots season, so it only includes girls who were in uniform when I saw their teams play, and it is not based on high school statistics. I made sure to include each player on only one honor team, and these girls are strictly from the Class of 2025.
THE ENERGIZER BUNNIES
Those players who always bring constant energy to their teams
This team always has as many candidates as any, but I thought these five stood out because they were always entertaining to watch. They bring a great deal of energy to the floor and have nonstop motors.

There are also always quite a few candidates for this team as well, but these five ladies have a unique combination of different skillsets and demonstrated the ability to affect a game in a variety of ways on a consistent basis.

TEAM FEDERAL EXPRESS
Those players who can get the ball where it needs to go
Everybody likes to score, but the 2024 class has several really nice floor generals who deliver the ball on time/on target. They make the simple pass…simple, and they create other opportunities for teammates as well.

TEAM “BUILT FORD TOUGH”
Those players who play with a great deal of toughness and grit
Indiana has quite a few tough-nosed, feisty girls, who really get after it. These five, to me at least, stood out above the rest. They are always willing to seek contact, they never back down, and they play bigger than they are.

TEAM WINDEX
Those players who rebound, block shots, or both, at a high level
Obviously, a lot of the candidates for this team are sizeable interior players. These ladies stood out as the better glass cleaners (shot-blockers, rebounders, or both). They definitely pose a major presence in the paint.

TEAM LOCTITE
Those players who flat out lock up their opponent at the defensive end of the floor
This team is absolutely fun to watch, because they use a combination of speed, quickness, strength, and desire to flat out defend the basketball, whether it’s in the half-court or 84-feet from the rim.

This is a group of the better shooters in Indiana’s Class of 2023. There are other good ones in this class, but these five shot it consistently all summer. If you’ve never heard of Annie Oakley, look her up…she’d likely be proud of this team.
