Jade Steele – Greenbrier (501 Basketball Team 2025)

For senior guard Jade Steele, basketball is a platform to lead, inspire and glorify God. 

A two-time All-Conference player, she has been the cornerstone of the Greenbrier High School basketball team, leading in scoring for the past two seasons.  “Jade can score at all three levels, and her defense has come a long way,” Greenbrier Head Coach Payton Edmondson said. “She’s also an incredible playmaker, setting up her teammates for success.”

Steele’s drive and dedication shine through her ambitious goals for her final season. 

“I want to reach 1,000 points and help my team make it to state,” she said. 

She credits her success to relentless work and her faith, advising future athletes to “never stop working, never stop trying. Find your identity in Jesus, not the sport you play.”

Off the court, Steele is a role model for her peers, fostering a positive team culture and mentoring younger athletes through elementary basketball camps.

“Jade has done a great job in helping create the culture we want to have for our program,” Edmondson said. “She is always positive and inclusive to all her classmates. She’s the kind of leader who sets the tone for our program.”

When she’s not on the court, Steele enjoys singing at New Life Church and plans to continue her basketball career at Crowley’s Ridge College or Central Baptist College while pursuing her education.

With her talent, leadership and unwavering faith, Steele is leaving a lasting legacy at Greenbrier, both as an athlete and a teammate.
