LHS senior Anna Brecht has made the past four years of her basketball career ones to remember. This season, University of Wisconsin Green-Bay commit, Brecht, has helped the team with numerous wins throughout the season and seasons in the past. In the most recent game against Edina MN, LHS had 38 points total and Brecht had 16 of them. In the game against WHS on Jan. 3, Brecht accumulated 28 of the 58 points scored by LHS. With this large amount of points scored by Brecht throughout the season, the school record for points scored in a single season is already in her grasp.

LHS head girls basketball coach, Matt Daly has nothing but good to say when it comes to Brecht.

“She stands out because she’s a shooting guard that stands 6 feet tall,” said Daly. “She is standing at a height right now that most people play as a post, but her length and her height give her a different advantage. The characteristic about Anna that stood out for the last four years is her amazing ability as a jump shooter and a flat out tenuous scorer. She is averaging 25 points a game right now, and she has broke the school record for points scored in a single season and points per game, and she is closing in on breaking the all time points record at this high school.”

After this record breaking season, Brecht is planning on continuing her basketball career at Division 1 school UWGB. Outside of basketball Brecht participates in FCA, NHS and excels in the classroom. With all this attributes under her belt, Brecht’s future is wide open for possibilities.

“I am not sure what she has decided what she is doing academically,” said Daly. “I think with her work in the Statesman, she would be a great journalist. She is a tremendous writer, she is a good public speaker and she has had a lot of interviews and time in front of the camera because of her success in athletics. I think Anna would be a successful teacher, coach at basketball and to be honest I think Anna, with the work ethic she has developed in sports, would probably be successful in whatever she chooses.”
