Brianna Barton '25 Recruiting Profile

Hi! My name is Brianna Barton, and I am in the middle of my senior year at Windsor High School in Vermont. I am in the graduating class of 2025. 

I currently play as a small forward, but also play as a shooting guard.

I started playing basketball in 1^st grade. I fell in love with basketball, when I joined my first AAU team in the 4^th grade. We won the 2017 VT State Championship, and we traveled to Pennsylvania to play for the AAU East Coast Championship. 

It was my 5^th grade year that I started to really enjoy the competitive part of basketball and that is when I decided that I wanted to continue to grow my basketball skills. My freshmen year of high school my junior varsity team went undefeated and my varsity team took it all the way and we won the D3 State Championship. My sophomore year as a varsity starter my team went to the D3 State Championship again and won. Junior year 2024 we were D3 State Championship runner ups.I am still very proud of this team and were ready to push to get back to the State Championship game again this year. 

In other sports I play: 

This year we broke school history in soccer, becoming the first team to bring home the Women’s DIII Vermont Soccer State Championship

One of my strengths that my coaches have told me in multiple sports, is that I have a great sense of what to do when faced with different challenges. Some characteristics I have learned about myself over the years of being an athlete is that I am a hard worker and can make quick changes, if needed. I always want to be perfect in everything I do, even if it is not sport related. When it comes down to the last seconds of the game, I do not think that I am the one to take care of everything. I always look to see if one of my teammates has a better shot or opportunity to score. I have always believed that team work is better than having one person take control of everything. Basketball has always been part of my life and it continues to be, as I finish my final year of high school. I’m hoping I will be able to play in college. I have always thought of every team I’ve played for as family and I have been through some of my toughest times with my teammates. My hope is I will be able to be on a college team that is like another family and I will be able to grow and improve alongside them.

Other notable athletic achievements in the other sports, I enjoy:

2017 Elks Soccer Shoot Out 1^st place

2017 Vermont Open Grappling 2^nd place girls under 10

Obtained Jiu Jitsu yellow belt at the age of 9
