EASY BREE-ZY; Hall Becomes All-Time Leading Scorer at Wayne

 Bree Hall Becomes Warriors All-Time Leading Scorer As Wayne Defeats Fairborn

 By Deon Cash 

    Bree Hall, one of the top players in the Class of 2021, led the Wayne girls squad to a big win against a feisty and young Fairborn team in the OHSAA Girls Tournament in the 2nd round at Troy, Ohio. 

Hall was unstoppable in the game, to nobody’s surprise. She has been remarkable all year, as she claimed the GWOC Player of the Year Award earlier in the week. But on this night, it was something even more special in store for Hall. 

 Hall would become the all-time leading scorer in Wayne basketball history after a beautiful hop step move and finishing score in the second quarter. 

After the shot was made her teammates and the bench would go and mobb her and celebrate the great achievement. The announcer would say that Hall had broken the record, and the game was momentarily stopped, which was a classy move by the legendary coach Ed Zink and Beavercreek, who were well aware of the numbers. 

 Hall, who took it in stride, felt blessed and humbled to be the All-time leading scorer. 

 “This is a amazing accomplishment and I want to thank my family, coaches, and organization for helping me get to this point,” Hall said after the game. 

 While it was a great night, Hall and the Wayne team are far from satisfied. 

              Hall is a 2021McDonald's All-American 

“But we want to win the state.” Hall would say, in a tone that has been set since last year’s loss in the Regionals. 

 Hall and the Warriors now sit in the District Finals after defeating Beavercreek last night. 

Trice, who has been very direct with the team this season, responded when asked about Hall's accomplishment: 

“Bree's one of those “Once in a Lifetime” type of players. It has been a honor to watch her become the player she has. She truly deserves it.”

 Hall would eclipse Trice son in the process, as Travis Trice III held the record before heading to Michigan State and now with USA Basketball. Hall has committed to South Carolina, and she was on the under-18 USA Basketball team. 

With Gamecocks coach Dawn Staley being happy with Hall’s progress, it is evident she will be a factor come day one. But for now? Enjoy watching history as one of the all-time greats continue on her journey through one of the toughest high school tournaments in the country.

 Congratulations to Bree Hall and the Wayne Lady Warriors. Follow us and the Lady Warriors on their Journey through the OHSAA Tournament.
