Dominating the Glass Early: The first week of Indiana high school girls basketball has already revealed some serious dominance on the glass.
The first week of Indiana high school girls basketball has already revealed some serious dominance on the glass. These players are setting the tone early with hustle, positioning, and consistency — proving that rebounding is still one of the most defining stats in the game.
Rebounders to Watch
Makenzie Griffiths | Freshman | New Prairie Cougars Leading the state with 15 rebounds per game after her first two outings, Griffiths has burst onto the scene with a fearless presence under the rim. Her 18-rebound performance shows early signs of star potential.
Laniah Wills | Senior | Lapel Bulldogs Averaging 14 rebounds per game, Wills brings veteran experience and relentless energy to the paint. A proven force from last season, she is anchoring Lapel’s interior game again this year.
Ellie Stoelting | Junior | Clay City Eels At 10 rebounds per game, Stoelting gives Clay City a dependable defensive rebounder with quick instincts. Her ability to control the boards while adding steals and second-chance plays makes her invaluable to the Eels.
Jhordyn Brown | Sophomore | Kokomo Wildkats Standing 5'9" and averaging 7 rebounds per game, Brown plays bigger than her size with toughness and great timing. She is already logging near double-digit rebound nights against strong competition.
Hailey Wagoner | Sophomore | Center Grove Trojans Averaging 6.5 rebounds per game, Wagoner shows athletic versatility as a 5'11" wing-forward. She is active in transition and uses her length to secure critical boards in big-class matchups.
Final Take
From freshmen making noise to seniors dominating the glass, these players have proven that effort and positioning still win possessions. If they keep up this pace, expect their names to stay high on Indiana’s leaderboard all winter.
