Brogan Rowley is one of the best athletes in the state and will have his pick of the litter when it comes to where he will run track next season.
Until then, Rowley will look to lead Ell-Saline to a deep playoff run in basketball.
“Brogan is a tremendous athlete and has continued to improve as a player and person every year,” head coach Marty Wendel said. “As a player, he has really impressed me most with how much he has grown defensively and his overall motor skills. As an underclassman, he struggled on that end because it wasn’t necessarily a priority in his mind, which led to him being out of position frequently. That is not the case anymore, and he even led the team in steals last season.”
The senior has been one of the most consistent pieces for the Cardinals throughout his career on and off the court.
Rowley consistently brings positive energy to the court, an infectious quality that complements his impressive performance. Last season, the senior averaged 13 points, four rebounds, three steals, and three assists per game. Known for his strong defensive skills, Rowley has excelled at protecting the rim and leveraging his athleticism throughout his time as a Cardinal.
“As a person, Brogan has continued to grow as a leader for us,” Wendel said. “Not only does he lead in production on the floor, he has started to lead more vocally.”
