Brianna Mahoe, commonly known as Bri Mahoe, is the starting junior point guard (#3) on LCHS’ Lady Varsity basketball team, and has played on varsity throughout her highschool years.
Straight out of Lyles Middle School, she walked into the LC doors and knew she was a force to be reckoned with. Her conduct and drive makes Bri an unstoppable player. Even as a freshman, she was a starting point guard and, clearly, has continued this legacy to her junior year. Also in her freshman year, she helped lead the Lady Patriots into the first round of the playoffs. Unfortunately, the team didn’t make it all the way, but she is proud that they were able to make it to the first round. Her main focus this season is to attribute hard work and dedication as a leader to her teammates and as a student.
