#12
Brady Elsner, senior, Lynden
WHY HE’S #12: On a state championship team with two all-state players, Elsner might have been the most indispensable Lion. Not only did he play the most minutes, but he directed the efficient offense and keyed the suffocating defense. The 6-foot point guard only scored when needed but he averaged an astounding 7.3 assists a game and grabbed nearly 2 steals a game on the way to breaking the school’s single-season and career assists marks and earning all-Northwest Conference second-team honors.
COACH BRIAN ROPER: “He was the rudder for our team. His 4-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio is the best ever for a Lynden point guard. Not only did Brady break the all-time assist record, but he directed our team on offense and was one of the best perimeter defenders in the NWC.”
