Sahuaro junior forward Alyssa Brown had a record-breaking performance with Penn State assistant coach Ginny Boggess in the stands recruiting her tonight.
Brown, a 6-1 forward who can handle the ball and post up inside, produced a school-record 44 points in the Cougars’ 85-49 win over host Tanque Verde tonight helping her team improve to 7-0. She also had 17 rebounds.
Her scoring total broke the previous record held by her sister, former Sahuaro standout Sydney Harden. Sydney had 42 points for Sahuaro against Palo Verde in the 2014-15 season.
Brown has also eclipsed 500 rebounds in her career (with 501) despite this season just starting and a full senior season ahead in 2020-21. She has 1,291 career points. She is closing in on her sister’s career marks of 1,575 points and 1,120 rebounds.
Brown leads the Cougars averaging 34.8 points and 13.8 rebounds a game.
Penn State is one of numerous Division I schools showing interest in Brown. Others include NAU, St. John’s, Bethune-Cookman, Maryland-Baltimore County and Elon — all of whom have offered her a scholarship.
