When there are issues that need to be addressed Brynlyn is able to speak to the team and coaching staff. She offers a big heart, wonderful sportsmanship, embodies integrity, and is one of the hardest workers on and off the court. She gets better every practice, and pushes her team and coaches to be better as well! As a small school in Kansas, Blue Valley is often overlooked. While Brynlyn does not play for accolades she is more than deserving to be featured. She makes Blue Valley proud and represents the Lady Rams well!

She has a motor that doesn’t stop, and can score at all three levels, especially when she gets in the paint and can rise up in the lane. The best part of her game is getting out in transition where she can create for herself and her teammates. On the defensive end she is extremely active and she can guard 1 through 5. Anna loves basketball and as a leader on our team, she is a great teammate and has set many individual records at our school. Drake is signing an exceptional player, but an even better person.
“Since Anna started coming to my summer basketball camp, I knew she would be special. She loves basketball and is her happiest when she’s out on the court. A 4.0 student as well, a true definition of student-athlete. I’ve attached her career stats. She is currently eighth all-time in school history in points scored and second in assists and steals. The trajectory of our program has benefited from Anna being a part of it. She’s been a three-year all-league player, two-time league player of the year. League newcomer of the year and an all-state basketball player and state champion. (Last year we won 5A state).
