Thorsby High School\u2019s Brooklyn Reeser is The Clanton Advertiser girls basketball player of the year. Reeser claims the award after capping off her career with 1,533 career varsity points. <\/p>\n
\u201cShe turned into her own offensive machine these last two years,\u201d Thorsby head coach Kris Wood said. \u201cShe\u2019s an all-around natural athlete, she plays three sports, she plays volleyball, basketball and softball.\u201d<\/p>\n
Reeser started playing for the Thorsby varsity team in eighth grade. After a year of contributing valuable minutes off the bench, Reeser watched their team graduate seven seniors. The following year, as a freshman, she was starting for the varsity team. <\/p>\n
\u201cI watched her, and I knew she was going to be a good ball player,\u201d said Wood. \u201cShe\u2019s easy to coach, she\u2019s tough as nails, and she never misses practice. She\u2019ll be tired and she\u2019ll want to stay in the game even when I want to rest her.\u201d<\/p>\n
Reeser really took over in her junior year when she surpassed 1,000 points, won the Chilton County Tournament MVP award and was named to the All-Area team. She has been named on the All-Area team the past two years. <\/p>\n
\u201cShe always gave her best in practice, she never complained, and she led by example\u2026 the team could see that,\u201d said Wood. \u201cShe always did what she was asked, she was our best player and our hardest working player.\u201d<\/p>\n
Reeser, in all three of the sports she plays, has gained a reputation of never backing down or shying away. She has a mentality that there is nothing she cannot do, according to her coach. <\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s very competitive, she is not a dirty player, but she does not back down, that\u2019s one of the reasons she\u2019s such a good basketball player,\u201d said Wood. \u201cShe isn\u2019t afraid of contact, and she\u2019ll get in there with girls that are bigger and stronger than her.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite some injuries this year, Reeser helped lead her team to an 18-8 record.. Reeser averaged 16.1 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.4 steals per game. In an important Class 3A Area 5 game this year, she showed off her scoring ability, scoring 41 points. <\/p>\n
\u201cShe had a game this year where she scored 41 points,\u201d said Wood. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t against some no one team; this was against Alabama Christian Academy, it was a close game, we needed her points.\u201d <\/p>\n
Reeser ended her career with 1,533 points. She has committed to Southern Union State Community College for softball. <\/p>\n
