03 Feb 2024 Brianna Miller – Maumelle (501 Basketball Team 2024)

Maumelle senior forward Brianna Miller will never forget the day she was introduced to basketball.

“I started playing basketball in sixth grade,” she said. “I was watching a game with my aunt, and I told her it looked fun and I wanted to try it, so she signed me up.”

For Miller, the rest is history. In a career filled with great moments, the senior is committed to finishing strong beside her teammates in her final season.

“I want to make my last year a season to remember,” she said. “My goals are to help lead my team to the state tournament. We can achieve it by working hard every day.”

“Brianna is new to Maumelle this year, but she is a very good communicator,” Maumelle Head Coach Grover Garrison said. “She has been instrumental in promoting a positive environment in the halls and during team functions and will be a catalyst in supporting our team culture and development this season.”

Off the court, Miller can often be seen lending a helping hand to teachers, students, family and others in need.

“In my free time, I go out and help my brothers with their sports after I have practice,” Miller said. “I still make time to help them with whatever they need.”

A member of the Air National Guard, Miller has plans for a bright future after high school.

“When I’m not playing sports, I’m getting myself ready for the military,” she said. “I want to go to college to become a pediatrician, too.”
