ATHLETE OF THE WEEK: Timothy Brower

Eastern Randolph, boys’ basketball

Brower has been off to another strong start to a season as he’s one of the region’s most dynamic guards.

A senior, he’s averaging 21.3 points per game. His 22-point outing against visiting Asheboro on Friday night was another example of his production.

Brower has Eastern Randolph’s top totals in 3-point baskets and free throws, while also leading the Wildcats with 3.7 assists per game. He’s among the team leaders in rebounding with six boards per outing.

Brower posted a team-leading 20.7 points per game last season. That came after he was second among the Wildcats at 15.4 points per game as a sophomore when the team reached the Class 1A state final in 2023.

Because of the school’s football team playing beyond Thanksgiving, the Wildcats had a late start to the basketball season. They have 16 games scheduled between Jan. 3-Feb. 13.
