HUBER HEIGHTS, Ohio--Playing in Dawn Staley's program at South Carolina does pay off, Wayne High School alumnus Bree Hall was selected with the 20th pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft to the Indiana Fever.

Hall had a solid high school career, finished as Wayne's all-time leading scorer, Ohio High School Basketball Coaches Association Ms. Basketball in 2021, with numerous awards from then Ohio Prep Sports Writers Association and the Greater Western Ohio Conference with senior season averages of 25.6 points and 7.1 rebounds.

She committed to South Carolina playing in 147 total games over four years, winning two NCAA National Championships, her freshman and junior years, starting her last two seasons, also was an 3-time SEC Academic Honor Roll honoree, averaging 5.8 points a game with 2.3 rebounds for her college career where she was known for her tough defense in her role at South Carolina.

In the upcoming weeks she will play alongside the NCAA Division I all-time leading scorer and 2-time national player of the year in college, Caitlin Clark, where she was WNBA Rookie of the Year last season. 

Those who follow the WNBA knows how tough it is to make a roster, getting selected late in the draft, but with the expansion and the growth it seems like they will find a way to keep more players rostered.

The Indiana Fever has gone through some changes in the past year moving on from Christie Sides as head coach, after helping them make the playoffs since 2016, making a way for the home grown Stephanie White and some roster changes that should bolster the Fever.
