The honors keep coming in for Logan County Lady Cougar star sophomore post player Brenley Adler.
In the last few weeks, the four-year letterwoman and three-year full-time starter has been named all-region second team for the season, all-regional tournament, and the all-time leading scorer in the Lady Cougars’ 44-season basketball history.
She’s joined as an all-region second teamer by Cougar junior guard Davis Switzer.
Adler averaged 16.8 points and 8.0 rebounds to lead a 17-16 district runner-up season for the team coached by her mother, Dedra Adler, a former Lady Cougar who went on to play college basketball. Her dad, Todd Adler, is the LCHS head football coach and athletic director. Her older sister, Brea Croslin, was one of the best softball players in Lady Cougar history.
Brenley has scored 1,431 points in these four years. That includes 555 points this year, exactly 200 more than her freshman season. Her eighth-grade total—349—was just six points short of her freshman year. She scored 132 points as a seventh grader.
Her points have come on 387 two-point goals, 390 free throws and 89 three-pointers. She has played in a minimum of 30 games per season, for a total of 125 games. That gives her a career average of 11.45 points per game.
Adler also has a career total of 658 rebounds. That’s an average of 5.26 boards an outing.
She became the all-time leading scorer by passing the career total of Shana Dean, who was a starter on three teams in the late eighties, including being the center on two teams coached by the late Mike Haynes that won the region and a game at state each year. Haynes and now-Dr. Dean are in the LCHS Athletic Boosters Hall of Fame alongside two other members of those teams, Kim Johnson Higgins and Carrie Horlander, who are also in the top six in Lady Cougar career scoring.
In her final game as a sophomore, Brenley Adler scored 23 of the Lady Cougars’ 44 points. She hit 5 of 6 free throws, 2 of 4 three-pointers, and 4 of 10 two-pointers. She also pulled down 10 of the Lady Cougars’ 27 rebounds.
All these statistics will pale in comparison to what we see in 2028. This Lady Cougar warrior has two more seasons of high school basketball ahead of her.
