Community R-6 all-conference girls complementary to each other

The Community R-6 girls have had teams that certainly have functioned as teams.

That was the case this season as the Lady Trojans had three named to the Central Activities Conference team: seniors Kylie Brooks and Brooklynn Glasgow on the first team and sophomore Peyton Beamer as an honorable mention. Brooks and Glasgow each made the Class 1 District 9 team.

“I can't say enough about these three girls,” head coach Bob Curtis said. “All of them are special in their own way. They complemented each other on the court.”

Brooks was Community’s post player that recorded a double-double in almost every game. She finished with 15.3 points per game, 12.8 rebounds per game, 1.5 blocks per game, 45 percent shooting from the field and 63 percent shooting at the free-throw line.

“Kylie was our inside presence that kept defenses honest and at home in the paint,” Curtis said. “She was ruthless on the glass, averaging a double-double every night and really became a dominant force on both ends of the floor her senior season.”

Glasgow averaged 8.6 points and 6.3 rebounds while shooting 39 percent from the floor and 69 percent from the line.

“Brooklynn Glasgow just got better as the season went on,” Curtis said. “Her offensive numbers climbed all year. She was our best free-throw shooter in regular season contests and got there a lot night in and night out. Her basketball IQ is super high and she knew what I wanted offensively and defensively most of the time before I said it.”

In her first season as the team’s starting point guard, Beamer averaged 9.8 points and 5.3 rebounds while shooting 37 percent from the floor.

“This season was her coming out party and boy did she deliver,” Curtis said. “She had a 30-point game in a conference game against New Franklin where she just refused to let us get beat. She handled the point well as teams tried to pressure our young guard into turnovers most of the season and was very dangerous in transition. Her court vision and passing is something you have to witness with your own eyes next winter.”

Carroll dual threat, dual award winner for Community R-6 boys

Mason Carroll was the biggest threat on the floor for the Community R-6 boys this season.

The senior was picked as a first-team member of the all-Central Activities Conference team and made the Class 1 District 10 team.

Carroll averaged 20 points, 8.1 rebounds and nearly 70 percent from the free-throw line for the Trojans that fell in the district semifinals to state-ranked Higbee. 

“Mason worked hard this season and deserved his all-conference honors,” head coach Kody Asquith said. “Not having him going into next season is going to be a big loss for us because he was a big threat from the perimeter and from in the paint.”
