\u201cBrooke Nichelson is, without a doubt, the most exceptional athlete I’ve had the privilege of coaching at any level,\u201d North Laurel  coach Eddie Mahan said. \u201cHer incredible skills on the basketball court have left me speechless on numerous occasions. Even in elementary school, it was clear that she was destined for greatness.
\u201cWhat sets Brooke apart, however, is her unwavering commitment to team success,\u201d he added. \u201cShe has always prioritized the Lady Jags’ goals over individual achievements, demonstrating a selfless dedication to our program. Brooke has willingly made sacrifices, putting the team’s needs ahead of her own, and has consistently risen to the challenge whenever her team needed her to excel.
\u201cHer remarkable combination of talent, athleticism, skill, and teamwork has made her an invaluable asset to our team, and I’m honored to have had the opportunity to coach her,\u201d Mahan continued. \u201cBrooke is for sure deserving of the title \u2014 13th Region Player of the Year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
