“I am proud to say I am now the all-time leading scorer; I couldn't have done it without my team, and I am glad we are moving on to the semifinals,” Brown told Tap Into after that Feb. 18 victory over Monroe. “This is my senior year, our senior year, and we know that we have to take one game at a time. Today we did, we played hard together and fought throughout the whole game."
