INDIANAPOLIS — Six of Indiana’s top scorers and four girls players who led their teams to the state finals headline Hoosier Basketball Magazine’s Top 60 basketball camp this year.

Bailey Farley, who led Fort Wayne Canterbury to the Class 1A state title, and Ariana Simmons of Fort Wayne South, Dakota Weatherford of Hamilton Heights and Brittany Neeley of Eastern-Howard all made the list.

New Albany’s Tanner Marcum is the only local player who got an invitation to the workout. Other players of interest are Scottsburg’s Katie Wampler, Austin’s Jessie Davidson, Mikala Lomax of Columbus East, Evansville Bosse’s Janisha Lindsey.

Others attending camp include high-scoring players such as Kelsey Key of Frankton and Jill Morrison of Winchester, Purdue recruit Bridget Perry and Notre Dame recruit Taya Reimer.

The camp will be held Sunday at Marian University in Indianapolis. The girls from northern and southern Indiana will work out from 1 to 3 p.m., with the central Indiana invitees going from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. Admission is $7.
