About Brooke
Expert Analysis
Jim Dabbelt | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
The Bender sisters have been causing headaches for opposing coaches for four years now, and like her sister, Brooke had an amazing career! She was very effective at both ends of the floor, and played the game with a good demeanor. Good perimeter game, agile and able to finish. A big factor in the success of Anthony Wayne this season with a trip to the Final Four!

Brooke has great court vision and can push tempo leading to points. Not afraid to mix it up, able to flow with the game and her and her sister are always in tune with what is happening on the court. Very good at seeing the court and gets in the passing lames well. Scored her 1,000th career point in this game, headed to Villanova.

Brooke, a deadly three-point shooter, has watched her stock rise every year as her skill improves and just betters her game. She possesses an extremely good basketball IQ and can handle pressure. Putting the ball through the hoop doesn’t take long, once she gets into her groove she really takes control. Good at establishing and taking off hard screens, active on both ends of the court. Attacks the rim to score through a number of opponents on either side. She climbs up in the rankings from number 17 to number 16. She also is verbally committed to Villanova.

A deadly three point threat, Brooke has seen her stock rise every year as her game matures. She teams up with her twin sister Elise for one of the state’s top backcourts. Smart heady player with a great basketball IQ with handles and a very high basketball IQ. (Featured photo above)

I like how she is defensively active and how she runs the court. When opponents try to cut to the hoop, Bender maintains her defensive abilities, plays aggressively, and picks pockets. Physically strong, with stable hands and a will to score! I enjoy how she crashes the boards with each shot. She is a source of concern both in the paint and behind the arc. Moves up in the rankings from number 26 to 23.
