Who are the best girls basketball players in La Porte County history?
The area has been rich in talent in recent years with four players (Marquette’s Sophia and Emma Nolan, La Porte’s Riley Ott and Michigan City’s Hannah Noveroske) named to the Indiana All-Stars in 2019, so it’s not too difficult to compile a list of recent vintage.
