Briana Fassett - Bernie Ward Commitment Award - Girls JV Basketball
Briana Fassett is this year’s Bernie Ward Commitment award recipient. Briana’s love for basketball is paramount. Her devotion is contagious, her skill is irrefutable, and her knowledge of the game manifests the best in her teammates as well as herself. Briana is always looking to make herself better and has developed a knack for being a student of the game which is such a rare, but precious, quality to possess. Briana worked extremely hard this season to become the very best and that showed. Averaging 6 points a game, Briana was consistently a shooting guard we could rely on and she truly showed that during the postseason. With an awesome half-court shot at the end of the first quarter in the championship game, Briana truly poured her heart and soul on the court- not just this game but every game! She has been a wonderful young lady to coach who has a heart of gold and not to mention–some great committed fans to cheer for her along the way. I look forward to joining that fan club to watch Briana continue her basketball career and I know she will do wonders!
