Amy Hasbrook Family
Leadership Awards
Amy Hasbrook was a student-athlete at Cathedral High School in
Indianapolis and later DePauw University. She participated in girls
basketball and was a product of the opportunities that Title IX
created. Amy tragically perished in a house fire in 2002. Her legacy
is the impression she left on those who knew her.
Awards also have been established at Cathedral High School and
DePauw University to honor her legacy. As a captain of the
basketball team while at DePauw, she is still the Tigers’ all-time
leading field goal shooter at 65.2%. Amy was also a two-time
member of the SCAC Honor Roll and Head Coach Kris Huffman
refers to Amy as the “fiercest competitor she’s ever seen.”
Thanks to a very generous donation to the IHSAA Foundation from
the Hasbrook family of Indianapolis in the name of their late
daughter, Amy, the Amy Hasbrook Leadership Award is awarded
each year to two female student-athletes who best exemplify and
embody sportsmanship, leadership, integrity, dedication to the
team, and community service.

Amy Hasbrook Family
Leadership Awards
Avery Kelley is a standout student-athlete and compassionate leader
whose dedication to academics, athletics, and service sets her apart. A
three-sport athlete at Evansville Central, she competed in basketball, la-
crosse, and volleyball for the Bears, bringing the same energy and commit-
ment to the court and field as she does to the classroom and community.
Avery currently serves as President of Central’s Student Council, is a Peers
Project Leader, a Link Crew Leader, and a proud member of the National
Honor Society. Her passion for giving back shines through her extensive
volunteer work—serving meals to the homeless, supporting residents at a
local nursing home, participating in community clean-ups, and assisting
with the Highland Challenger League, a baseball program for athletes with
special needs. Motivated by a deep desire to help others and inspired by her
mother’s courageous battle with breast cancer, Avery is pursuing a career
as a Physician Assistant. Her experiences have fueled both her faith and
her sense of purpose, guiding her toward a life of service and care. Avery’s
leadership extends beyond titles. She launched a protein bar initiative to
support studentathlete wellness, reflecting her creativity and commitment
to those around her. On and off the court, she leads by example – arriving
early to practice, mentoring younger players, and embodying the values
of hard work, humility, and integrity. Her coach calls her “a leader among
leaders” and a “coach’s dream,” a testament to her impact and character.
Avery will continue her basketball career and furthering her education at
Franklin College in the fall.
Ella Mohamed is a standout student athlete at Northridge High School,
where she competes in Basketball and Track & Field for the Raiders. Known
for her selflessness, positivity, and tireless work ethic, Ella is a natural
leader, frequently nominated for leadership roles by both her peers and
teachers. She’s an active member of the National Honor Society, Freshmen
Mentors, and Cheer Block, and has also given back to her community by
coaching youth girls’ basketball throughout high school. Ella’s passion for
helping others drives both her academic and career aspirations. A formative
experience babysitting a child with autism sparked her interest in work-
ing with individuals with special needs. Because of this, she plans to major
in Psychology with the goal of pursuing a career in special education or
occupational therapy. Her innate patience, energy, and compassion make
her exceptionally well-suited for this path – qualities she’s already put into
action through a work-based learning placement in a life skills elemen-
tary classroom. Ella embodies the spirit of the Amy Hasbrook Scholarship
through her athletic accomplishments, servant leadership, and meaningful
impact on others. Described by her coach as one of the best leaders he’s
worked with in two decades, Ella leaves behind a lasting legacy at North-
ridge—one that will continue to inspire younger athletes as she begins her
next chapter at Trine University this fall.
