Double-Double Mania: Athletes Excelling At Scoring & Boarding

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>So for those who did not know, not only have I coached, taught, scouted, and covered sports for multiple newspapers, but I am also a historian of several topics including professional wrestling.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We are in the “Road to WrestleMania” season, so I can think of no better time to debut a new PGH series of reports “Double-Double Mania.”</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This debut edition features athletes who have finished with at least four double-doubles so far during this early season. Stats are based on game stats reported as of January 17, and might not reflect the few games played this week.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1047977' first='Lauren' last='Brummet']</strong>, 5'11”, PF, Lakeside, ‘24</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The unofficial leader in double-doubles is Lakeside's Brummet.

The Knight senior is averaging 15.9 points and 12 rebounds per contest. Brummet is currently unranked by Prep Girls Hoops but is ranked No. 118 by Prep Dig.

Topeka got hammered with snow the past two weeks and continues to be under a “boil water advisory” which has played havoc with area teams and decimated the bottled water aisles at local stores. Through four games Ramsey has been decimated the opposition to the tune of 21.8 points per game and 14.5 rebounds.
