A long offseason left Avery Brawner of Haven with a lot of time to prepare for the season by getting in the gym. After all the work and training, Brawner knows she is ready to take on whatever this season throws at her.
“Over the summer I focused on two very specific things,” Brawner said. “I wanted to improve my ball handling skills as well as my shooting range. I would have ball handling drills and shooting workouts to do after my summer weights workout in the mornings. I worked really hard on my shooting range using the gun every day. Every weekend or day I had free time you could find me in the gym getting a basketball in my hands.”
With all the work put in over the summer, Brawner is looking forward to seeing it all pay off in the upcoming season.
“I am most excited about seeing our summer season carry into our winter season,” Brawner said. “We played phenomenal over the summer together as a team and I can’t wait to see that on the court this regular season.”
A tough schedule will keep Haven on their toes, but Brawner is excited to play against some big competition.
“Hesston and Halstead will continue to be two of our biggest competitors within our league,” Brawner said. “I believe that if we keep improving and playing together we can accomplish the goal of beating them both.”
