Gracyn Gilliard Leads 13-Player 2026 IndyStar Indiana Girls All-Stars Roster

Center Grove's Gracyn Gilliard, the 2026 IndyStar Indiana Miss Basketball, headlines a 13-player roster announced March 18 by All-Stars game director Mike Broughton. The squad, selected through the Indiana Basketball Coaches Association's balloting process, will play three games in June: one exhibition against the Indiana Junior All-Stars and a home-and-home series against the Kentucky All-Stars. Indiana's senior girls hold a commanding 55-43 series lead over Kentucky, and this group carries the résumé to extend it.

How the Team Is Built

The IndyStar Indiana All-Star Team takes shape through a layered process. Coaches and media across the state submit ballots overseen by IBCA game organizers, and the top vote-getter earns the Miss Basketball title. From there, Broughton finalizes the rest of the roster after observing games and events throughout the season and conferring with coaches, school officials, and media statewide. Coaches and media could each recommend up to 10 players on their ballots, giving Broughton a broad base of input before making the final calls.

Gracyn Gilliard, Miss Basketball

Gilliard's selection as Miss Basketball was announced March 13 after she received the most votes from coaches and media across the state. The 5-foot-11 Center Grove standout averaged 25.6 points per game and was part of the 2026 Class 4A state championship team. She is committed to Davidson, making her one of the few Indiana Miss Basketball honorees in recent years headed to the Atlantic 10. Her scoring, size, and championship pedigree set the standard for a roster built around proven winners.

Lola Lampley, Lawrence Central

Lampley placed second in Miss Basketball voting and brings one of the most decorated résumés on the roster. The 6-foot-2 Lawrence Central product averaged 16.7 points per game and was part of the 2024 Class 4A state championship team. She is committed to LSU, giving this All-Star squad a player headed to one of the premier programs in women's college basketball.

Vanessa Rosswurm, Norwell

Rosswurm finished third in Miss Basketball voting and is one of the most versatile winners on the team. The 5-foot-10 Norwell player averaged 23.3 points per game and was part of the 2025 Class 3A state championship team. She also appeared in two state runner-up games, with Norwell finishing second in the 2024 3A tournament and Rosswurm personally appearing on a 2026 4A runner-up squad as well. She is committed to Indiana Wesleyan and was identified by area outlets as one of four Northeast Indiana players named to the All-Stars.

Lilli Barnes, Valparaiso

Barnes placed fourth in Miss Basketball voting and rounds out the top-four vote-getters who all earned roster spots. The 5-foot-10 Valparaiso standout averaged 21.3 points per game and is committed to Ball State. Her selection reinforces the depth of Northwestern Indiana's contribution to this class.

Kennedy Holman, Hamilton Southeastern

Holman brings scoring punch and size to the backcourt at 5-foot-8. The Hamilton Southeastern guard averaged 17.6 points per game and is committed to the University of Florida, adding a Power Four destination to a roster already stacked with high-major talent.

Mollie Ernstes, Jennings County

Ernstes is one of the most prolific scorers on the team outside of Gilliard. The 6-foot Jennings County standout averaged 24.0 points per game and is committed to Kansas. Her combination of size and scoring makes her one of the more intriguing matchup problems the All-Stars will present to Kentucky.

Joslyn Bricker, Warsaw

Bricker is one half of what Outsidethehuddle called Warsaw's all-time leading scorer duo. The 5-foot-9 guard averaged 24.8 points per game and was part of the 2025 Class 4A state runner-up team. She is committed to Butler and is one of four Northeast Indiana players on the roster.

Brooke Zartman, Warsaw

Zartman completes the Warsaw tandem and was also part of that 2025 Class 4A runner-up squad alongside Bricker. She is committed to Miami (OH) and, like Bricker, joins the All-Stars after helping build one of the state's most productive programs at the Class 4A level. Specific season statistics were not available in official roster materials, but her status as part of Warsaw's all-time leading scorer duo speaks to her productivity across four years.

Komari Booker, Pike

Booker adds length and interior presence that few teams can match. The 6-foot-1 Pike standout averaged 8.3 points per game, a number that understates her defensive and rim-protection value, and is committed to Northern Illinois.

Laniah Davis, Marquette Catholic

Davis represents small-school Indiana at its finest. The 5-foot-7 Marquette Catholic guard averaged 20.5 points per game and was part of the 2024 Class 1A state runner-up team. She is committed to Northern Illinois, sharing a college destination with Booker.

Myah Epps, Homestead

Epps is the fourth Northeast Indiana player on the roster and joins a Homestead program that regularly produces college-level talent. The 5-foot-10 guard averaged 14.0 points per game and is committed to Louisville, one of the highest-profile college commitments on the entire squad.

Laniah Wills, Lapel

Wills leads the team in scoring average among players with listed statistics, at 26.5 points per game. The 6-foot Lapel standout is committed to Butler and was part of the 2023 Class 2A state runner-up team. Her output from a smaller-school program makes her one of the most compelling individual stories on the roster.

Brooklynn Renn, Silver Creek

Renn is the tallest player on the team at 6-foot-3 and gives Indiana a genuine post presence against Kentucky. The Silver Creek standout averaged 21.0 points per game and is committed to Kansas, joining Ernstes as a future Jayhawk on the same All-Star squad.

Coaching Staff

Joe Huppenthal of Lake Central will serve as head coach. His assistants are Amy Shearer of Columbia City and Brian Smith of Loogootee, a staff that draws from programs spread across the state's geography.

June Schedule and Series Context

The All-Stars will play three games in June: one exhibition against the Indiana Junior All-Stars and a home-and-home set against the Kentucky All-Stars. Indiana's senior girls lead that Kentucky series 55-43 and hold a 42-12 edge over the Indiana Junior girls in their exhibition history. The junior program itself has dominated its own Kentucky counterpart, leading that series 13-1. A preview of the junior action comes May 31, when South Knox's Kendal Hill and the Indiana Junior All-Stars scrimmage against Kentucky's junior squad.

This roster carries the kind of championship history that gives Indiana fans reason to expect the series lead to grow. Three players have won state titles. Five players appeared in six state runner-up games combined. And with college commitments spanning Davidson, LSU, Florida, Kansas, Louisville, Butler, and Ball State, the 2026 IndyStar Indiana Girls' All-Stars represent the full depth of Indiana's pipeline to the next level.
