One of those talented, yet uncommitted players is SF Washington point guard Brynn Heinert. The 5’5 guard is down to three schools: Bethel, Concordia, and Dakota Wesleyan. Heinert is still in the process of deciding where she wants to play at the next level.
Heinert is a very solid guard who is a vocal leader on the court. She can handle the ball in transition well and likes to push it up the floor. Heinert is able to finish at the rim with both hands and can handle it well with both hands too. She has the ability to shoot the ball from the outside at a good clip. She won’t lead the team in points often, but she is going to get after it on the defensive end and leading her team.
Whomever gains her talents will receive a very good player who will do anything to win the game. She is a good student in the classroom as well as a great student of the game. Heinert loves the game of basketball and is going to be able to play at the next level. I spoke with her on things such as her season so far, recruiting, her weaknesses, among other things below.
How do you think your season has been going?
I think it’s been going well for the most part! We’ve been playing with a lot of energy, and we also have a lot of young kids coming off our bench so once they start getting the hang of things I think we’ll really start finding our stride. Otherwise we’re always positive and just looking to improve each game. I think we have what it takes to make a good run at the state tournament in March.
How you think you’ve been playing individually?
I think I do my role well as a point guard. I know I don’t always lead the team in points but I make sure everyone knows what’s going on at all times, I handle the ball well, and I do my best to the lead the team in any way I can, whether that’s distributing the ball, playing good defense, or breaking the press.
What are you working on the most right now?
Individually right now I’m working mostly on how to get better shots for myself and my teammates, and I’ve been working a lot on just shooting in general.
What have you liked most about each of the three schools on your list?
DWU plays a very aggressive, fast paced game from what I have seen. I enjoy playing fast and pushing the offense so I think I would fit in well with their style of play. Concordia is a little bit bigger, and seems to have really great athletic programs where their players have tight bonds. I enjoy that because I think it’s important to have good relationships with your teammates. Bethel seems to have a great team and a great atmosphere to it, and I also know a few other friends from different schools that have committed there!
What do you think separates you from the other players on the floor?
I really love the game and I think that shows when I play. I’m always looking out for my teams success over my individual success, and I always bring a high level of energy every time I step out there. Every time I’m on the court I give it 100 percent.
