IBCA honors local athletes
The Indiana Basketball Coaches Association (IBCA) has released its list of 2025-26 girls and boys basketball honorees. The girls' list of recipients were awarded at the start of March while the boys were honored this week. Eight different boys basketball players (from five schools) and five girls (from two schools) from our coverage area were honored.
Northridge brother-sister Brady and Lily Scholl received the highest honors, as well as Westview's Austin Schlabach. Brady received a spot on the Senior Supreme 15 list and should be an easy selection to be an Indiana All-Star in April. Lily and Austin both received spots on their respective Underclass Supreme 15 classes.
Lily was named an Indiana All-Star earlier this month. Westview senior Kaden Grau made it to the Senior Small School All-State team while Goshen's Braxton Cline and Levi Sawatzky, Northridge's Hayden Johnson, NorthWood's Mason Pearson and Wawasee's Stephen Akase were Senior Honorable Mentions. On the girls' side, Cam Conley (Northridge) and Eva Herbert (Fairfield) made the Senior Honorable Mention All-State teams and Alli Ambers (Northridge) and Madison Jones (Fairfield) were named to the Underclass Honorable Mention All-State team.
