Looking to reach her highest potential in her final year, senior Carlie Brummer is the lone senior for a young Beloit-St. John’s team.
Being the only senior means Brummer has to step into a more of a leadership role than she had to have last year, and she is ready to do so.
“My team role is to be the person my teammates look up to. I love basketball and to me it’s important for my team to know how to have fun and work hard. Keeping my team motivated to be at their highest potential will be my biggest role this upcoming season,” Brummer said.
Beloit-St, Johns’ head coach Leah Bergmann is looking for Brummer to step up this year, but she has no doubts that Brummer has the skill and drive to do so.
“She is one-of-a-kind. She’s a natural athlete and can play any sport and excel. She’s a hard worker who puts in extra work during the season and in the off season. She doesn’t complain and does what is asked of her. She is the best all-around athlete and most coachable player I’ve had,” Bergmann said.
Last year Brummer averaged near 16 points per game and she wants to keep getting better and hopefully break 1,000 career points.
Since Brummer is not looking to play college basketball, she wants to have a record senior year and enjoy playing the game that matters so much to her.
“I grew up playing basketball from a very young age and have loved the game since before I can remember, but I would say my competitive spirit is a huge factor in what drives and motivates me as a player,” Brummer said.
