Bradley Central senior Anna Walker signed a letter of intent Wednesday to join coach Katie Burrows and the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women’s basketball team.
Walker, a 6-foot-1 forward, helped lead the Bearettes to the 2019 TSSAA Class AAA state title, averaging 13.9 points and 6.3 rebounds while also leading the team with 69 blocked shots (13 in three state tournament games), 48 assists and 66 steals. She also shot 36% from 3-point range and 78% on free throws.
Walker was named region and district tournament MVP after last season’s tournament run and was a member of the Tennessee Sports Writers Association’s Class AAA all-state team.
“Anna is our general on the court,” Bradley Central coach Jason Reuter said in UTC’s release announcing the signing. “She’s worked very hard to get to this level of basketball. When I think of great players I’ve coached, Anna ranks in the top tier. As a coach, you can always count on Anna to do the right thing on and off the court.”
* UTC also announced seven softball signees, including Coahulla Creek infielder R.J. Janke, who has been committed to the Mocs for three years.
