IHSAA girls basketball: Ranking Indiana's top 30 seniors in 2027 class

We're kicking off our preview coverage ahead of the 2026-27 Indiana high school girls basketball season by ranking the state's top players in each class. Meet the top Indiana high school girls basketball players in the Class of 2027 . 1. Lillie Graves, McCutcheon Graves took massive strides as a 3-point shooter last season, firing a career-best 33% (44-for-133) from behind the arc to add some shine to her 47% FG. Rated a four-star recruit and ranked 60th nationally by ESPN , the Virginia Tech commit averaged 17.2 points, 7.2 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 3.3 steals for the semistate runner-up Mavericks. Graves is an early favorite in the IndyStar Miss Basketball chase. 2. Adah Hupfer, Pendleton Heights Make no mistake, the 6-foot-3 Hupfer is at her best when she's utilizing her size to fight for points and rebounds in the paint. She shot 56% from 2 and averaged 13 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game. But her career-best 20.5 ppg scoring average was also driven by her emergence from behind the arc, where she converted 27-of-67 shots last season. Hupfer is a Northwestern commit. 3. Kylah Patterson, Hammond Morton Nicknamed "KP," buzz surrounding Patterson began building as she averaged 27.2
