Anthony Ball
Anthony
Ball
6'6" | PF
Decatur Central | 2023
State
IN
(Beech Grove H.S.): The 6’7″ Ball is an imposing force around the basket and a big reason why the Hornets have made a run to Gainbridge Fieldhouse. He is averaging 15.1 points and 8.5 rebounds per game as a skilled interior presence. Ball has quick feet, excellent strength, and finishes above the rim.
Xavier Booker

Cathedral | 2023
State
#4
Nation
IN
(Cathedral H.S.): Booker is a 4-star national recruit with scholarship offers from programs all over the country. He will put his game on the big stage on Saturday as the Fighting Irish try to cut down the nets. He is a mobile two-way force that can finish above the rim and make 3’s. Averaging 12.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 2.2 blocks per game while shooting 36% from deep on 35 makes.
Jake Davis

6'6" | SF
Cathedral | 2023
State
IN
(Cathedral H.S.): Making 3’s and taking charges. That is the name of the game for Cathedral’s 6’6″ wing/forward. Davis is one of the best pure shooters in the state of Indiana having made 69 of 152 attempts in 31 games this season. He averaged 10.3 points per game. Davis holds some very good NAIA offers but could see D2’s or even low-major D1’s get involved this summer.
Jaylen Mullen

Mullen
6'0" | PG
North Daviess | 2023
State
IN
(North Daviess H.S.): A smaller guard that can play both on and off the ball, Mullen has been the man for North Daviess all season long. Mullen averages a team-leading 16.4 points to go along with 5.4 rebounds, and 4.0 assists per game. Cutting down the nets would put him in serious consideration for the Junior All-Star team this summer.
Casey Kaelin

Kaelin
6'2" | SG
Providence | 2023
State
IN
(Providence H.S.): Kaelin has been a big catalyst for Providence’s run to the state finals. The sharp-shooting guard has put up several big games this season and could be a player that really breaks out this summer after playing at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. For Providence to keep up with Central Noble he will have to have a big game from beyond the arc.
Deaglan Sullivan

Sullivan
6'2" | PG
Mishawaka Marian | 2023
State
IN
(Mishawaka Marian H.S.): One of the many high-caliber guards in northern Indiana this season, Sullivan leads the Knights in scoring at 17.0 points per game while also dishing out a team-best 4.3 assists per game. He is a dynamic play-making guard that will continue to draw collegiate interest heading into the AAU season. One of the best guards in the very deep junior class.
Jaron Tibbs
Jaron
Tibbs
6'4" | SF
Cathedral | 2023
State
IN
(Cathedral H.S.): Tibbs is an athletic wing that has been the X-Factor for Cathedral this season. He is averaging 13.1 points and 7.0 rebounds per game as a slasher, driver, and transition scoring threat. A Division I football recruit, Tibbs has gotten it done on the hardwood at a high level this season. There should be some places that will want him to try and play both at the next level.
