BIGGEST INFLUENCE: "I look

When I was younger, I always wanted to be just like her."
FUTURE GOAL: "To excel at

A senior guard, Brie Crittendon is now in her fifth year of playing
varsity basketball for the defending 9th region champion Ryle Raiders,
and she has been a starter in 108 consecutive varsity games.
Entering this season, the Lady Raiders were ranked #1 in NKY in the
coaches' preseason poll and Brie was ranked as the #1 player in Northern
Kentucky. Brie has already scored 1,440 career points and pulled down
585 career rebounds for the Raiders.
Her sophomore season, Brie helped lead the Raiders to their first state
championship, defeating Southwestern 63-48 in the state title game. She
was the leading scorer in the state final game with 21 points.
Her junior year, Brie averaged 15.5 point-per-game and 5.7
rebounds-per-game for the Raiders who were 23-11, winning its third
consecutive Ninth Region title and winning a game in the Sweet 16
tournament before it was canceled by the pandemic.
Big games last season included scoring 32 points vs. Bullitt East, 29
points vs. Conner, 21 points vs. Mercy McAuley and 20 points vs. Notre
Dame Academy. Her numerous accolades last season included being named
9th Region MVP, first team all-state and she was named to the district
all-tournament team for the third time. Additionally, she was named
first team all-Northern Kentucky by the Enquirer.
A great honor roll student who is active in community service, she also
plays for the Kentucky Premier club team, and will play basketball
collegiately at Eastern Kentucky University. Brie's older sister, Jenna,
played for Xavier University, and last season, was an assistant coach at
the University of Charleston in West Virginia.
Says her Ryle basketball coach Katie Haitz, "Brie has been instrumental
in our successes her entire career. She is a fierce competitor who does
not like to lose. As a team captain, she is not only a vocal leader, but
leads by example. She is selfless in her effort and pushes her teammates
to be their best."
Brie's favorite athlete is Devin Booker, favorite entertainer is Morgan
Wallen, favorite book is Five Feet Apart, favorite movie is American
Sniper and most-like-to-meet is Devin Booker or "any country singer."
COACH'S QUOTE – "If her teammates cannot give anymore of
themselves, Brie will carry the load offensively as well as
defensively if it means we win. Her basketball skills and IQ are top
notch, but it is also her mental toughness and relentless will to win
as to why she has scored over 1,400 points in her career and is ranked
in the top 5 of every major statistical category in our program's
history. As a coach, to me she has been such joy to have on my team."
— Katie Haitz, Basketball Coach
