Emma Berreth '22 Recruiting Profile

The first game of the "L'il Squirts" season was the turning point for my passion for basketball:  I told my dad (also my coach) I wanted to be a cheerleader as I did not even like basketball.  He told me I made a commitment to my team that I was obligated to keep, which I did.  By the end of the season, basketball was my passion at age five.

I went on to play AAU travel ball for four years from fifth through eighth grade.  We won multiple tournament championships, and I was the leading scorer and rebounder on my team most games.  I have been a starter on the varsity team since my first game at Bigfork High School as a freshman.  I am just finishing my junior year at BHS, which was my most productive year on the court so far:  I have doubled my average points per game, ending the season with 17.1 PPG.  I am looking forward to my senior season and then moving on to college ball.  I want to pursue a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education.  After graduating college, I would like to coach basketball and teach school.

My style of play is attacking on offense and tenacious on defense.  I pride myself on the "coast to coast" steal and lay-up.  I am equally adept at attacking either side of the basket.  Although I am right-handed, my left hand may be strongest when I am going to the basket.  This year my three-point shot has really improved and I have developed a nice midrange jump shot; but the strength of my game is attacking the basket from the perimeter.  I am a hard worker that lives for a new challenge.
