Brooke is a dynamic, high-powered combo guard who plays fast, thinks quick, and strikes from anywhere on the floor. With a silky pull-up game, deep range, and buttery release, she makes defenders pay for giving her any space. She’s smooth off the bounce, lethal from the wings and top of the arc, and equally confident driving left or right. Whether she’s curling off screens, getting downhill, or creating space with a nasty step-back, Brooke consistently creates her own looks and delivers. Her ability to move without the ball, stretch defenses, and score in rhythm makes her a match-up nightmare. Add in her tight handles, high IQ, and a nonstop motor, and you’ve got a DI-level weapon with the complete scoring arsenal.

Brooke averaged 14.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 steals this past season while earning Region Offensive Player of the Year and leading her squad to the 5A Quarterfinals. She improved her pace, decision-making, and shot consistency, showing more confidence on the ball and a growing ability to dominate in screen-and-roll situations. During the Select 40 Finale in Ohio, she caught fire, averaging 17.8 points per game while shooting a blistering 48.9% from three (22-for-45), along with 8.3 rebounds, 2.2 steals, and 1.5 assists in six games. She showcased her strength, footwork, and grit, finishing through contact and forcing turnovers with active hands and elite anticipation.

Brooke plays for Southwest Premier and Valley Basketball Club. She played with South West Premier in the 1st 2 sessions and was with Valley Basketball Club for the final sessions in Hamilton, OH.. Her goals were to show her ability to rebound, defend, and knock down shots; mission accomplished. Coaches and evaluators praise her ability to run in transition, initiate offense early, and defend with discipline and energy. She brings a fiery presence, leads by example, and thrives on physical play and clutch moments. She’s excited to step into her senior year as captain, guiding underclassmen and pushing her team toward a state title.

Off the floor, Brooke carries a 4.15 GPA and takes pride in her academics. She enjoys spending time with family, traveling, or just hanging out with friends. Mental training over the past two years has helped her grow stronger in adversity and more confident in her unique journey. Her focus is rooted in personal growth, not comparison.

I assess that Brooke is the type of player college programs dream of, a coachable leader with range, toughness, and playmaking instincts. Her mix of perimeter firepower, relentless defense, and cerebral pace makes her a plug-and-play guard ready for the next level.

Expect Brooke to keep torching nets her senior year while leading a hungry squad deep into the postseason run in pursuit of a state championship. Her potential is still rising, and with her size, skill, and fire, she’s poised to be a major asset to a collegiate roster from day one. Stay tuned for a breakout season ahead.
