A prolific scorer, who slashes to the basket to score.
Strong enough to take the punishment on drives, and gets to the free
throw often. Excellent shooting range. A good defender who plays the passing
lanes well. (INDIANA)
-
Kate
Doll
(5'10 F) Penn -- An athletic forward that has quietly elevated
her game over the past year to become the central offensive threat for the
Kings(wo)men this season. Good shooting range, tough on the boards, and
a good defender. An outstanding summer of basketball should carry over
into the high school season. (CLEVELAND
STATE)

Quick and athletic. Played
out of position at point guard last year for her high school team, but how

A lot, if you're in the West Lafayette stands. Played on the Junior All-Star North Team this past summer.

-

most solid post players

JESUIT)
-
Kathy
Hay
(6'3 C) Madison -- (98-99
stats: 11.2 ppg, 8.2 rpg) Coming off a shoulder injury that
kept her on the bench last season, but should be one of the top post players in the
state. Good hands for a
big girl. When she’s healthy, she

excellent rebounder and solid defender. (UNDECIDED)
-

King
(5'8 G) Fort Wayne Luers – (18.7 ppg, 4.9 rpg, 6.3 apg, 3.3

tenacious defender with long arms and an excellent vertical jump.
(CLEVELAND STATE)
-
*Courtney
Rosenbaum

just all results. Was extremely
effective in the post, offensively and defensively, at last year’s State Championship Game against Ben
Davis.
A blue-collar post player who excels through hard work and hustle.
Played for the Junior All-Star North Team this past summer.
A consistent scorer who’s always around the basket. One of the best
rebounders in the state. Deceptive
speed for her size. (ST.
JOSEPH'S)
-
*Kimberly
Smith
(5'10 F) Gary West Side – (10.8 ppg, 8.7 rpg) Probably the best athlete in the class of 2001.
Doesn’t get a lot of recognition due to a local schedule and a missed
trip to the semi-state last season, but should end up at a major DI
college. Excellent
quickness makes her tough to defend. Excellent
vertical leaping ability makes her a force on the boards.

*Lee
Traynham
(5'11 F/C) Valparaiso --
(11.9 ppg, 6.0 rpg) The other half of Valparaiso’s twin towers.
A bring-your-lunchbucket blue collar player who doesn’t get as much press
as some of the other post players around the state.
Without her, though, Valpo would definitely struggle.
An intelligent player who sets screens, plays solid defense, and has
excellent passing ability. (STANFORD - Academic)
-
Kristen Weddle
(5'11 F) Terre Haute South
-- Suffered an ACL injury
after playing only 5 games last
year. If she hadn’t, she would
have been a shoe-in for the Junior All-Star Team.
Her long arms and legs make her an excellent defender.
A quick first step allows her to slash to the basket and blow by
defenders. Tough as nails with an excellent shooting
range. Great all-around athlete. Expect this all-business player to make
up for lost time by dominating the field.
(TOLEDO)
-
Asjah Zinnerman
(5'6 PG) Cathedral -- Excellent ball handler who led Cathedral to a
3A state championship last
season. A good floor leader and
steadying influence who
plays hard each and every game. Unselfish,
penetrates well and dishes off to wide open teammates.

effective defender.
(MURRAY STATE)
-
*Sarah
Zondor
(5'7 G) Crown Point --
(12.6 ppg, 6.2 rpg, 2.3 spg) Another player who hasn't seen much
exposure statewide, but that could change this season. Considered
the purest shooter to ever pass through Crown Point, you can't leave this girl
open or she'll make you pay, either on the shot, at the foul line, or both.
Especially dangerous from beyond the arc and shoots well off the dribble.
Strong enough to rebound with the big girls.
