In her time on the team, Bre has been one of the consistent leaders, both on and off the court. Her personal drive for success extends from the classroom, with a GPA of over 4.2 – as a member of the National Honor Society and continued presence on the highest honor roll, Bre shows she will be successful in any direction her life may take her. Bre established herself as a leader and team player by spending the past and current off season many days and endless hours to develop her skills as well as the skills of those around her. Bre worked tirelessly throughout the off season as she has proven she wants to and should be the one to opponents have to deal with when it pertains to the Buccaneer’s offense. She has also, honed her skill set on defense and has made it clear to all that she wants her teammates to lean on her when the pressure builds. She is one of many components that have contributed to the Lady Bucs recent success the past few seasons, as she was a letterman on varsity since her freshman season. Bre has shown on the court she is a weapon of both offense and defense as she has led the program in blocks all three of her seasons thus far and has been second in kills.

Quotes from Chartiers-Houston coach Sean Cleary: "As a coach it is always one of the best feelings and moments when you realize you have a group of young athletes that are willing to put in the time and effort to realize their potential. Having the desire and work ethic to become the best they each can be is something that cannot be taught and that is brought from within each individual athlete. Bre King has grown into one of our leaders and has become one of the crutches of the program. Bre is a very competitive and high energy athlete, with loads of emotion and that is an amazing group of intangibles to possess. She has challenged herself and grown incredibly to possess court presence and maturity beyond her volleyball years. She is one of the reasons I love to coach, she brings all of these intangibles to the court that you typically see from a more experienced and seasoned athlete. As a freshman Bre was thrown into an offensive system that she had never been asked to run or even had heard of before and she embraced the challenge and has now become our go to leader and offensive weapon. She has been a breath of fresh air from the first days of our first season and has always pushed herself as well as her teammates to achieve the goals and overcome the adversity set in front of them. Bre has been amazing to coach and the program will be very successful this season because of her and the other senior leadership. She will be a force to contend with this season. |
