This strong, physical lead guard out of Logansport High School put up 29 points, including the game-winner, as Summit City Elite – Black 2025 defeated the Marshall Warriors 56-54 on Saturday. He is able to get to his spots consistently off of the dribble and finishes in creative ways both at the rim and in the intermediate range.
Fisher impressed on Saturday morning for OPS – Kindschy 2026 displaying his patience in the post and overall interior skill level. The 6’5″ forward had an excellent stretch which included a deep post catch, a couple of crab dribbles, and a right hand finish over his left shoulder. Then, he drove it along the baseline, spun back to his right, and finished over his left shoulder once again. He mixed in an athletic block on the defensive end as well. Good player.
We saw Gizzi play on Friday night when he scored 20 points in a win over Focus Premier 2025, but the talented scorer was even better on Saturday. This top performers list would be incomplete without mentioning his back-to-back 30 and 33 point performances for Legacy Ice – Gizzi 2025 as they finished pool play 3-0.
It is no secret that this Chesterton High School prospect is one of the best pure shooters in Indiana’s Class of 2027. Ray had that on display for Indiana Game UA Rise 2027 on Saturday morning as they pulled away for a dominating win against Wisconsin Playground UAA 2027. The 5’11” guard can absolutely shoot the cover off of the ball from three-point range.
A quick, explosive guard off of the bounce, Sampson was a bright spot in what was an otherwise tough game for OPS – Black 2025 against Wisconsin Playground 2025 on Saturday afternoon. Sampson knocked down a couple of outside shots and was routinely able to handle the ball pressure and beat his man off the bounce to the rim. He was a big part of cutting the game to five during a strong stretch for OPS .
One of the more athletic prospects in the gym early on Saturday morning, Thomas quickly had the highlight of the day with a poster-worthy dunk just after the 8:00 a.m. game tipped off. The 6’5″ wing from Lawerence North High School continued to live above the rim throughout Indy Heat EYBL 2026’s easy win over D-Rice Elite 2026. His physical tools and explosive athleticism are really, really impressive.
Highlights
Playing in front of over a dozen coaches, Wellman showcased on Saturday afternoon why he remains one of the most sought after small college prospects in the state. The 6’5″ versatile wing/forward played well for an otherwise short-handed Indiana Game UA Rise 2025 team (prom led to many guys missing). He has such an intriguing blend of perimeter and interior skill.
