<p>Just like that, the 2022-2023 Indiana High Basketball season is in the books. On Saturday, Gainbridge Fieldhouse hosted the 113th annual IHSAA Boys Basketball State Finals crowning four new state champions. Congratulations to Indianapolis Lutheran, Blackhawk Christian, NorthWood, and Ben Davis on cutting down the nets. As we at Prep Hoops Indiana begin to put a bow on the season, before turning our attention to AAU, we will be handing out All-State recognition for each class. On Monday, we already released our overall Prep Hoops Indiana All-State teams. Now, we will begin with taking a look at the best players from Class 1A this season.</p>
