Remember when Moren had a hard time recruiting the best players from the State of Indiana? Amazing how winning seems to have changed that:).

we need more of them though, I'm disappointed we didn't get the girl from Noblesville.

Thanks Sidney Parrish for redemption of the Hamilton Southeastern connection.

Between Faith and her it is definitely a start. Won't get them all but finally getting some of the best players in the state is something that was an issue she has seemingly solved.

The Indiana girls all-stars were swept by the Kentucky girls this weekend.  On Friday night at Lexington Catholic High School, the Indiana All-Stars girls lost 84-73 to Kentucky by the series’ largest single-game margin since 2022.  Last night it took 2 OTs but Kentucky took a 106-103 win.

From the Indy Star-

Makalusky, the 2025 IndyStar Indiana Miss Basketball honoree, had a team-high 29 points. The Indiana University commit finished with 47 points for both games before fouling out with 27.4 seconds remaining in the final bonus period. She was named the Hoosier Shooting Academy MVP.

“Obviously, we have nothing to hang our heads about,” said Makalusky, who posted a team-high 14 rebounds with two assists and three steals. “I mean, we got double overtime. We played hard, and we should be proud of what we gave.”

There was a fair amount of criticism directed at her game earlier in the season. She’s always had the tools and the game, but she has grown it significantly as the season progressed. She should be an outstanding sophomore

Always come to her defense and always thought she was good already even when coming off the bench.  Then, was good as a starter.  She has improved solidly and efficiently as a starter.  And even though she is making really good progress there is a very high ceiling to her game as in stardom that has potential to flirt with Super Star.
