Cami Cass, a 1988 graduate of Noblesville High School, is among the 10 people announced as the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame’s 2022 Women’s Induction Class.
Cass was a member of the Millers’ 1987 undefeated state championship team, which itself was inducted into the Hall of Fame earlier. Cass will join teammates Courtney Cox Cole and Krissi Davis in the Hall of Fame when the 2022 class is honored on April 30.
The Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame wrote the following on its website about Cass:
“Cass was the starting point guard for Noblesville’s 1987 undefeated state championship team and 1988 state runner-up squad. Her senior season, she was the team’s leader in assists and 2nd in points, rebounds and steals, teaming with 2015 Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame inductee Courtney (Cox) Cole. During Cass’s career, Noblesville teams were 100-7, including four sectional titles, three regional titles, and two semi-state championships. A four-year starting point guard at Fordham University, she led their teams in steals all four seasons and was their leader in assists for three years. She completed her career with the program record in career steals (188), remains 2nd in career assists (487) and remains tied for the single-game steals record (8). A senior on the Rams’ first Patriot League championship team in 1992, in 2021 she was one of five players named to Fordham’s 1990’s all-decade team. A member of the United States’ 1997 Deaf Olympics gold medal team in Copenhagen, Denmark, she was a teacher at the Indiana School for the Deaf and coached in their girls basketball program.”
The website also said Cass “has received numerous awards and recognitions as a deaf athlete” and in 1989 was a featured athlete in Sports Illustrated.
The inductees will be honored at the 20th Women’s Awards Banquet on April 30, with an afternoon reception at the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame museum in New Castle, and an evening banquet at the Primo Banquet Hall in Indianapolis.
