Brooke White from East Lawrence High School in Hillsboro, Alabama, is a guard\/forward who should step in and help right away next year. &#8220;Brooke is very versatile, with good fundamentals and a high basketball IQ,&#8221; stated Coach Lingafelter. &#8220;She is going to be a young lady who will be able to be plugged into many different spots. She is long, has good ball-handling skills, is a solid shooter, and has played both guard and center in her career. Plus, her faith and her desires for herself outside of basketball are a very good fit for Barclay College.&#8221; White averaged 13 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 blocks, and 3 steals her senior year at East Lawrence. At the 4A level in Alabama, East Lawrence won their All-Area Tournament three of her four years there, and she was named to the All-Area Tournament Team twice during that span. White has ranked in the top 10 for her class all 4 years, and was involved with Fellowship of Christian Athletes, National Honor Society and the Mu Alpha Theta Math Club. Brooke&#8217;s parents are mother Benetta White and stepfather Jimmy Petty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first commit for the Barclay Lady Bears basketball program comes from the state of Alabama.
