Breelyn Wood signed on the dotted line with Emmanuel University to continue her basketball and academic career at the next level.
“It is a lifelong dream of mine to play at the next level and I’m really blessed to have this opportunity,” says Wood. “I give all the glory to God for making it possible. Playing at the next level means a lot to me because it’s a chance to keep growing, work harder, and make the most of the gifts I’ve been given.”
Wood led the Lady Indians in scoring and rebounding, as well as in blocks last season, and had a 16-point, 5-rebound, 4-steal, 3-assist effort in the season opener on Tuesday night against Fideles Christian. She was an All-Region selection last year.
“Although the recruitment process was stressful, I was extremely excited to pick where my next four years would be,” she adds. “I am very relieved that I signed before my last season. It makes me way less stressed, but I will never cut any slack and will always try my hardest.”
Wood will join the Emmanuel Lady Lions following her senior year at TFS.
“Coach [Mike] Bona and Coach Bree [Locke] were very welcoming and treated me very well during my visit,” Wood says. “There were also a lot of people I knew who were committing there and already on the team. Another amazing factor was the facilities and the campus.”
Wood is the sixth TFS girls basketball player in program history to be able to compete at the collegiate level, and first overall Tallulah Falls athlete this 2024-25 school year to officially sign her paperwork. She will have a solo signing ceremony, and will be recognized at the annual Next Level Signing Ceremony on May 21, 2025 with all signees from this academic year.
