2023 Regional Rankings: Fort Wayne
Landon Bundy
In this article:
<p>With the release of the top 150 rankings and an expanded watch list for the class of 2023, it is time to take a look at some of the top players in the biggest areas of Indiana. We are starting in the Northern half of the state and working our way down to the Ohio River, so today, we will move on to Fort Wayne. We currently have 17 players from the Fort Wayne area in the Class of 2024 database with 14 from our top 150 and 6 from our top 60. All of the other players are listed in alphabetical order with no ranking order whatsoever. [player_tooltip player_id="868246" first="Grant" last="Leeper"], a power forward from Homestead, leads the way for the city of Fort Wayne for the 2023 class. [player_tooltip player_id="1042499" first="Josh" last="Furst"] and [player_tooltip player_id="1042496" first="Gage" last="Sefton"] from Fort Wayne Blackhawk and [player_tooltip player_id="868222" first="Darrion" last="Brooks"] from New Haven round out the quartet of forwards in the top 51 of the class.</p>
