Preseason preview: 20 more Indiana high school girls basketball teams to know

I write (and say) the same thing every year, but there are a lot of talented teams in Indiana — too many to cover in a single story (class-by-class or otherwise). Let's take a look at 20 other teams from around the state. 3A: Angola (15-8, 3A) The Hornets have a Junior Indiana All-Star candidate with Kendall VanderWal. The 5-8 guard averaged 19.2 points, 9.7 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 2.5 steals last season, and is part of a lineup composed almost entirely of 2028 prospects: Kendall Holman (8.3 ppg, 7.1 rpg), Stella Stockamp (9.4 ppg, 4.5 rpg), Ella Savick (7.3 ppg) and Hadleigh Pocock (4 ppg). Sophomores Brynlee Knox and Avery Judson saw some varsity minutes last year and are expected to step into expanded roles. 1A: Barr-Reeve (12-9, 1A) Replacing workhorse Josie Knepp and establishing a more consistent offense are the top priorities facing the Vikings. The returning experience should help. Paighton Parsons, Cadence Burch and Shelby Dobson were all good for 7-9 points and three-plus rebounds per game, and Lilly Lottes and Shay Knepp were both solid within their roles. Evelyn Wright, Avery Wittmer and Shaylah Moffett are newcomers expected to step into prominent roles for Barr-Reeve, which
