INDIANAPOLIS – A handful of area high school basketball teams will join other schools from across the state at the IBCA/IHSAA Team Showcase this June.

In total, 72 girls teams and 156 boys teams are set to participate.

The inaugural girls event will take place June 16-17 at Hamilton Southeastern and Mt. Vernon (Fortville), while the fourth boys showcase in memory of Charlie Hughes is planned for June 23-25 at Carmel and Westfield.

Area teams participating include:

Girls: Greensburg
Boys: Batesville, Lawrenceburg, North Decatur, Rising Sun, South Ripley

The Indiana Basketball Coaches Association and the IHSAA partner to make each Showcase a "scholastic event" under NCAA and National Federation of State High School Associations rules, thereby making the events open for NCAA Division I coaches to attend in person for purposes of evaluating prospective players. Only events sanctioned by the IHSAA and IBCA may have NCAA Division I coaches attend during this "scholastic recruiting period."

Participating teams generally play four games in the events, although some teams choose a one-day option where they play only two games. Each game is a regulation 32-minute stop clock game.

Teams are assigned a pool based on competitive play, whether a team’s coach selects the one-day or two-day option, and organizers trying to avoid teams playing opponents they typically play during the regular season.

The two-day girls' event begins at 9:00 a.m. June 16 with final games starting at 8:00 p.m. June 17. Games are at Hamilton Southeastern High School, 12499 Olio Rd., Fishers, IN 46037, and Mt. Vernon High School, 8112 N. 200 W., Fortville, IN 46040. A list of registered teams is below.

The three-day boys' event begins at 4:00 p.m. June 23 with final games starting at 3:00 p.m. June 25. Games are at Carmel High School, 520 E. Main St., Carmel, IN 46032, and Westfield High School, 18250 N. Union St., Westfield, IN 46074. A list of registered teams is below.

Both IBCA/IHSAA Team Showcase events are open to the public. Admission is $10 per day. IBCA members are admitted free by showing their membership card at the door.

Net proceeds from both Team Showcase events support the IBCA Scholarship Fund and Riley Children's Hospital in Indianapolis.
