Heading to Butler in the Big East, Brown is part of the only Ohio-based 17U team that qualified for the GJNC 17 Open division. AVC 17 Red qualified as a Windy City NQ at-large bid, one that is much deserved given the quality of their schedule and success overall. Brown helps guide an offense that can be very potent when in system and all options are connecting. With a career high 800 assists for Columbian in 2025, she will arrive at her senior season with 2,024 total assists and 557 digs.

Avary Brown operated with a clear understanding of how to apply pressure through tempo. She leaned into a faster-paced offense, especially to the outside, where she consistently delivered quick tempo balls that forced blockers to commit early. Her connection with her hitters stood out—timing was clean, and routes were executed with precision.

What I liked most was how she layered in the middle. She didn’t overuse it, but when she went there—1s and pushes were effective and purposeful. That allowed her to come back to the pins with even more success. Avary also showed confidence using her right side in transition, mixing tempo and location to keep the defense from settling. Her ability to keep the game moving at her pace created a lot of offensive advantages. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas

With over 1,200 total assists for her Columbian team, Brown (*pictured) had a great fall season with her best output at 785 assists and an 8.5 a/s average. She competes with AVC’s top 16U team that has qualified to the 16 Open division at the upcoming GJNC, which includes winning the MEQ event. The 5’8 Brown is quick throughout her action and has good command in her pursuit and extension. Her decision making is improving as well given her AVC team has high quality offensive options throughout their rotation.

Brown (pictured) earned a Top Performer award for her smooth play, showing why she has 1,224 assists in two seasons for Tiffin Columbian. She made setting look effortless in a number of drills with short and long sets, including some back sets. Brown adds in solid jump serves constantly hitting targets. She’s trying to become a solid all-around player for the Tornadoes. Brown lunges after balls defensively and is a timely blocker. Brown had 785 assists and 228 digs, helping Columbian to a 20-6 record including 8-2 in Sandusky Bay Conference play for a share of the Lake Division crown and a spot in the Division III region semifinals.
