Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame

Participants Announced for the 2026 Henry Community Health Hall of Fame Classic: hoopshall.com/participants-a… #IN49OtherStates | #BasketballLivesHere

@John_G_Nolan @WashMystics @IndianaMBB @cavemensports @IHSAA1 This is 🔥

Sydney Johnson, @WashMystics head coach, is the son of Indiana Basketball Hall of Famer LeRoy Johnson, a Mishawaka High School and @IndianaMBB alum who was once an orphan. While coaching, Sydney wears an orange wristband from his dad’s @HoopsHall induction last year.

The school year is winding down, but the energy is high at the @HoopsHall! 🏀 We recently loved hosting Eastern Hancock’s 7th graders. They didn’t just learn about our state’s hoops history, they lived it! From testing their vertical leaps to taking game-winning shots and stepping into the announcer’s booth, it was an action packed day!

This Mother’s Day, the @HoopsHall honors the women behind the legends — and the legendary women among us. Long before many of our inductees took the court, they learned discipline, resilience, and heart from their greatest supporters: Mom. And for many of our inductees who are mothers themselves, those same values continue to inspire the next generation both on and off the court. To all the amazing moms out there, your love, strength, and inspiration make the world a better place. Thank you for everything you do. Happy Mother’s Day!

@sportspartizan Our hands hurt just thinking about it 😅

@HoopsHall In cursive none the less

This handwritten 1934 State Tournament booklet is a remarkable new addition to our collection. In a year where 773 schools competed, every score was meticulously documented by hand from Sectionals to the State Finals. It’s more than just a record book, it’s a labor of love and a snapshot of the game’s rich legacy in our state. We’re truly grateful to add such a meaningful piece to the museum’s collection. 🏀 #IN49OtherStates | #BasketballLivesHere

Inductee Highlight | Linda Yearby 🏀 A 1954 Chrisney High School graduate and the 2026 Indiana Fever Women’s Silver Medal inductee, Yearby made her mark on the game long before opportunities for girls were widely available. She competed on the Midway Grade School boys’ team in 1949–50, helping them to a 15-7 record and earning the nickname “Hot Shot.” Despite being barred from the county tournament, the team captured an invitational title, and as a freshman at Chrisney, she scored 103 points in just two games in the girls’ class tournament. Following high school, the 5-foot-5 guard starred with Dempsey Hovland’s Texas Cowgirls from 1954 to 1958, playing nearly 200 games per season while traveling more than 40,000 miles annually. She later coached the Harlem Chicks and returned to the Cowgirls, becoming known for remarkable feats such as making 106 consecutive blindfolded free throws. Yearby went on to own the Arkansas Lassies and dedicated decades to promoting the game through camps and clinics, continuing her impact on women’s basketball through 2005.

Inductee Highlight | Eileen Weber 🏀 A record-setting star at Washington Catholic, Weber finished her career with 1,879 points, 858 rebounds, and 212 steals, leading the Cardinals to a 1991 sectional title. As a senior, she averaged an incredible 31.7 points and 14.9 rebounds, highlighted by a school-record 56-point performance. A 1994 Indiana All-Star, she earned multiple All-State and conference honors during her standout career. Weber continued her success at the University of Southern Indiana, totaling 1,847 points, 842 rebounds, and 188 steals in 115 games. She earned two-time Kodak/WBCA Division II All-American honors and was named 1998 GLVC Player of the Year, helping lead USI to four NCAA Division II Tournament appearances, including a national runner-up finish in 1997.

Inductee Highlight | April Traylor-Percy 🏀 A key leader in Martinsville’s back-to-back state championships in 1997 and 1998, Traylor-Percy helped guide the Artesians to a perfect 29-0 season as a senior and the first Class 4A Tournament of Champions title. She averaged over 19 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists per game during her career, finishing with 1,930 points, 653 rebounds, 248 assists, and 482 steals. Her standout play earned her two-time AP All-State honors, 1998 IndyStar Super Team co-Player of the Year recognition, and Indiana All-Star honors. Traylor-Percy continued her career at Florida State, scoring 1,503 points in 112 games while ranking among the program’s all-time leaders in points, steals, and assists. She highlighted her collegiate career with a 30-point NCAA Tournament performance against Tulane in 2001, setting a school tournament record.
