HAMPTONVILLE - Rocky Mount sophomore J'Kyra Brown rebounded from missing her entire freshman season with a knee injury to making an All-State girls basketball team in her first campaign as a varsity player.

Earlier this week, Brown was named to the NCPreps.com 3-A All-State Girls Basketball Team. Brown led the Lady Gryphons to a school-record 25 wins (25-4), a share of the Big East Conference regular season title, the conference's tournament championship and an Eastern sectional final berth with eventual state champion South Central.

Brown scored 14.8 points a game, pulled down 5.3 rebounds an outing and dished out 3.1 assists a contest. She also popped in a team-leading 44 3-pointers.
