Hamilton Southeastern vs Warsaw Semistate.

Junior Joslyn Bricker interesting player for Warsaw….wonder what her future looks like?

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Maya's high school career ended tonight in a 67-61 semistate loss to Warsaw.

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

In last night's loss, Maya surpassed Sydney Parrish's previous record of 1,925 career points at HSE.  Maya finished her career with 1,933.

Who are good options, other than Maya?

Currently Nevaeh Caffey from Incarnate Word Academy in St. Louis is our only other '25 commitment.  All of our other '25 offers have either committed elsewhere or didn't list us in their final list.  We'll be doing heavy portaling for next season.

I'm saying for Ms. Basketball

We lose 3 SRs, of course we're portaling/pray Beaumont gets healthy.

I would guess Kira Reynolds (Purdue commit) from South Bend Washington would be Maya’s biggest competition for Miss Basketball.  She set the all time Indiana record for career blocks this year I believe.

too lazy to look it up... did they get beat? 

[taco corp]

Yes in regionals.  Warsaw, the same team to beat HSE in semi-state, beat Washington by 10 the week before.

Enrollment wise they are 3A, but since they have been on a really good run the last 4-5 years, the success factor moved SBW up. 

My guess is Maya will win Miss Basketball pretty easily, since she was the best player on the #1 team in the Indy area.

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Totally a third hand rumor but I heard from my daughter who lives in Warsaw that Kira Reynolds threw a massive hissy fit at the regional and got in the face of a ref as well as her head coach.  If that's true, and I have absolutely no idea if it is, that kind of stunt could cause a few voters to change their opinion.

Makalusky will probably be Miss Basketball.

Besides Reynolds, Jayla Lampley would be another contender.
