Brianna Cummings, a 5'6", 120 lbs small forward/center, was a member of last season's Atlanta Select 11U girl's basketball team. This was the team's first year with the Atlanta Select Basketball Association (ASBA). Brianna averaged approximately 5 points, 8 rebounds, 5 blocks, 4 assists and 2 steals per game. During the team's first year with ASBA, the 11U girls not only qualified as a Division - 1 (D-1) AAU team but they also placed second in the State of Georgia AAU State Tournament which qualified them for D - 1 AAU Nationals at Kenner, LA. On several occasions Brianna was asked to step-up and play guard since her ball handling skills are extremely good for a tall person. Brianna is a starter on the Greater Atlanta Christian School (GACS) 6th grade basketball team.
Off the court, Brianna has maintained a 4.0 GPA all through elementary school at Jackson Elementary. This year is her first year at GACS which has been quite challenging academically for a first year middle school student. However, Brianna did not lose sight of her education despite the overwhelming work load and change. So far, she continues to excel and is still maintaining a 4.0 GPA. For her academic prowess, Brianna was recommended by several of her teachers to tryout for GACS's 6th grade ALL ACADEMIC TEAM. She tested well and made the TEAM!
Brianna has committed herself to educational excellence and plans to attend the University of Tennessee, the University of North Carolina, or the University of Connecticut where she expects to graduate Number 1 in her class. Atlanta Select, along with her parents, family, friends, coaches, teammates and classmates are very proud of Brianna who is demonstrating the principles of a true student athlete.
