The purpose of the Top 60 Workout is three-fold:

​

• To enable 60 of the top graduating seniors to meet and compete and represent the entire state

• To offer significant exposure in front of numerous college coaches in attendance

• To provide Indiana-Kentucky All-Star officials from the IBCA an opportunity to view     the top seniors who had already received votes on their official All-Star ballot.

HOOSIER BASKETBALL MAGAZINE TABS TOP 60 SENIOR GIRLS

 

Below is the list of Hoosier Basketball Magazine's Top 60 senior girls’ basketball players for 2020-21 as compiled by Hoosier Basketball Magazine. These girls were selected from approximately 1,400 senior players statewide. Statistical evaluation, game observation and statewide research were conducted during the season and throughout the state tournament to determine Hoosier Basketball Magazine's Top 60.

           

Two sessions of the 40th annual Top 60 Senior Workout will be hosted by Hoosier Basketball Magazine in conjunction with the IHSAA and the IBCA on Sunday, March 7th at Beech Grove High School in Indianapolis (5330 Hornet Avenue in Beech Grove).

           

Half of the Top 60 girls, primarily from northern and southern Indiana, will participate in the first session (1:00-3:00 pm EST). The remaining players, primarily from central Indiana, will compete during the second session (3:30-5:30 pm EST).

           

The Top 60 Senior Workout includes the state’s top two scorers— Courtney Blakely, Hammond Noll (31.7 ppg) and Ariana Wiggins, Heritage Christian (27.6)— along with 11 other senior standouts who averaged more than 20 ppg.

           

There are eight players that will participate in the Top 60 Workout who are also from 2021 IHSAA state finalist teams— Ally Becki, Brownsburg and Alyna Santiago, Crown Point from AAAA; Jaclyn Emly, Marissa Gasaway and Alana Striverson from AAA Silver Creek along with Aubrey Burgess, Haley Rose and Vanessa Shafford from AA Linton-Stockton.

 

More than 20 of the Top 60 selectees have signed with Division I Universities including nine that were featued on the 2020-21 cover of Hoosier Basketball Magazine. Four who are featured with action photos include Becki (Ball State), Wiggins (Michigan), Meg Newman, North Central (Marion) (Arizona State) and Jayla Smith, Lawrence North (Purdue). The other D-1 pictured girls are Katie Burton, Fishers (St. Johns), Kaitlyn Costner, Penn (Ohio State), Sydney Jaynes, Trinity Lutheran (Butler), Trinity Thompson, Michigan City (Northern Kentucky) and Bridget Dunn, Carmel (Kent State) who is injured and can not participate.

           

Coach Kristin Raker (Beech Grove) will direct both sessions. Other outstanding Indiana girls' high school coaches from the IBCA have been invited to join the 2021 Top 60 staff— Vanita Golston (Hammond Noll), Scott Schoen (Silver Creek), Scott Smith (Jac-Cen-Del) and Kristi Ulrich (Penn).

Both sessions are open to the public for admission fee of $8.00 ($5 for students). Media can call (317) 925-8200 if interested in credentials for one or both sessions. The Top 60 girls follow.
