Nearing 1,000 career points and hoping to surpass that goal, senior Breanna Reeves is more than ready to be on the court again.
Reeves, who last year averaged 18.8 points per game and three steals, as Pike Valley’s starting point guard, has a real knack for defense.
“Breanna is a fierce competitor who thrives in an intense & competitive environment,” Callaway said. “Breanna’s foot speed and tenacity on defense usually result in easy buckets for her.”
Reeves is the only senior on a young Pike Valley team, and she knows what responsibilities that entails to get her team to state.
“I am the team’s leader and try to keep them motivated,” Reeves said. “I have some great bonds built with my underclassman and can’t wait to see what this new group of girls brings.”
Reeves, who is hoping to play college basketball, has put in lots of work in the offseason to make sure she is on college coaches’ radar.
“I have been to camps over the summer, summer-league basketball, and lifting weights with my dad before school, and playing against my brother in basketball,” Reeves said. “I want to improve my non-dominant hand (left) and my three point shooting range.”
Last year Reeves earned many honors such as all-league second team and all-state honorable mention.
“Breanna is a tremendous student/athlete who goes above and beyond to represent her school and community,” Callaway said.
