The Alabama Sportswriters Association recognized three of Mountain Brook’s finest for their achievements on the basketball court this past season.
Trendon Watford and Sara Carr were each named to the Class 7A All-State second team, while Jack Kline was named to the third team.
Carr and Kline have completed their senior campaigns at the high school, and will graduate later this spring. Watford is just a freshman, and is still attending Mountain Brook Junior High School through this year.
Each has a bevy of accolades to go along with their names in the Spartan record book. Carr will leave Mountain Brook with a program record in career rebounds (988), points in a season (513), rebounds in a season (385), points in a game (40). She also is the third all-time leading scorer with 1,503 points, and contributed 88 blocked shots, 231 steals, and 172 assists in an illustrious career.
Carr also boasts second team All-State honors from her junior season, as the Lady Spartans advanced to the regional round of the postseason for all four of her seasons. To top it off, she was named team captain and received the Best Teammate Award from her team this year.
Kline will leave Mountain Brook with 115 wins, the most in school history. He finished his senior season averaging a double-double, with 12.3 points and ten rebounds per game. His senior year ended in the Northeast Regional Semifinals, but the previous three years included three Northeast Regional championships, three area titles, two state championships, and a state runner-up finish.
Watford burst onto the scene in his first season at Mountain Brook, leading the team with 23.7 points and 11.5 rebounds per game. His 618 points in the season is a single season record at the school.
