Tue Jan 14 15:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Local Basketball Player Achieves Career High in Loss
**VAN, [State]** – Brailynn McCarty of the Van High School girls’ basketball team had a career night on Monday, scoring 11 points against Hannan High School, despite a 43-24 defeat. This marks a significant improvement on her previous season high of four points, achieved on December 20th, 2024. While McCarty’s performance was lauded as her best of the season, it wasn’t enough to prevent Van from extending their losing streak to nine games, a drought that began last season.
McCarty will have the opportunity to build on her success this Friday when Van faces Calhoun High School. Fans and analysts will be watching to see if McCarty can repeat her performance and if it will be the catalyst to break Van’s current losing streak. A full game report, commentary, and other basketball content will be available on MaxPreps following Friday’s match.
