Brown Earns Gamer of the Week Honors
Teays Physical Therapy Center, Inc. and The Putnam Herald are pleased to present this week’s male Gamer of the Week to Brandon Brown of Teays Valley Christian Basketball.
Brandon Brown of the Teays Valley Christian basketball team crossed the 1000 career point mark in a 77-44 win against Victory Baptist Academy earlier this season. The senior is averaging 18.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 2.5 steals per game from his shooting guard position. Brown is the leading scorer for the 7-1 Teays Valley Christian basketball team. “I think the season has been going well. I have been really focusing on crashing the boards to get a few more rebounds, and just doing what I can to help the team.” said Brown.
Coach James Christian on Brown, “Brandon is a great senior leader, and has been mentoring our younger guys. He has a lot of experience, and always picks up his teammates. He is a good Christian guy and great member of the school.”
Brown started playing basketball when he was young, and says that it felt like a natural fit. The aspect he likes most about basketball is the ability to express yourself through all the options you have in every situation. His favorite player is Russel Westbrook, because of the intensity and passion that he plays with.
In addition to basketball, Brown is an active member in the National Honor Society at Teays Valley Christian. Brown has committed to play basketball next season for Tennessee Tech where he plans to study business or sport management.
Teays Valley Christian will be back in action on Friday at 6:30pm against Poca.
