On Friday, February 16 as the Broadway Girls faced Western Albemarle in the Region 3C Quarterfinals, history was written as BHS Junior Wren Wheeler became the fifth player in BHS Girls Basketball history to score 1,000 career points. Wren, who is in her third year of playing at the varsity level, was one of three team captains, the only junior to earn captain honors, led the Gobblers in scoring with 15 points per game this season.
The accomplishment of 1,000 points is significant in the life of any high school basketball player. However, to accomplish the feat in just three years is even more rare. The last BHS player to score 1,000 points in their junior season; Zach Yoder, who just happens to be Wren Wheeler’s head coach and knows how significant the milestone of 1,000 points truly is.
Wren exemplifies leadership, she is a multi-sport athlete at BHS and works tirelessly to get better, spending countless hours in the gym, even long after the team practice is over. Ask any of her coaches, Volleyball or Basketball, and they will tell you that Wren Wheeler is exactly what you’re looking for as a High School athlete, a hard worker, good leader and focused. We’ve been lucky enough to watch Wren for three years, we are lucky to have a fourth! Enjoy it Gobblers Fans!
