Brewer Headlines 2A All-State Leading Country Day to Repeat Title

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There may not have been a more impactful player in Louisiana's 2A classification this season than [player_tooltip player_id='2471563' first='Kellen' last='Brewer'] of Country Day.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 6-foot-6 junior guard put together a dominant campaign, earning Outstanding Player honors after averaging 20.1 points per game to go along with 6+ rebounds, 3 steals, and nearly 2 blocks per contest. Brewer's versatility and two-way presence were on full display all season, but especially when it mattered most, leading Country Day to a state championship win over Calvary Baptist in the Division III Select title game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In a highly anticipated rematch of last year's final, the Cajuns once again proved they were the standard. Brewer controlled the tempo, made winning plays on both ends, and helped secure back-to-back state championships for a Country Day program that has firmly established itself among Louisiana's elite.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Country Day's success this season wasn't just about talent. It was about continuity, toughness, and high-level execution. With key contributors like Herm Dyson complementing Brewer, the Cajuns showcased a balanced attack while leaning on their star when needed most. Their ability to defend, create turnovers, and convert in transition made them one of the most complete teams in the state regardless of classification.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brewer's rise has been equally impressive. After a significant growth spurt to 6'6” since last season, he has elevated his game to match his physical tools. His expanded skillset, ball-handling, shot creation, defensive instincts, has placed him firmly in the conversation as one of the top overall players in Louisiana. That surge has also earned him recognition on ESPN's national rankings, further solidifying his status as a high-level prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Basketball pedigree runs deep for Brewer as well. His father, Corey Brewer, is currently an assistant coach with the New Orleans Pelicans and was a former NBA lottery pick out of Florida in the 2007 NBA Draft. That influence shows in Kellen's approach, motor, and understanding of the game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This marks Brewer's first All-State Select selection, but it's unlikely to be his last.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Two coaches were honored for leading historic runs this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Shawn Davis guided Ferriday to its first state championship since 1989, capturing the Division IV Non-Select title. The victory carried added significance as Davis was a key player on the Trojans' back-to-back championship teams in the late 1980s under his father, Robert Cade.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Boys All-State Teams</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>First Team</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2471563' first='Kellen' last='Brewer'], Country Day, 6-6, Jr., 20.1<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2421118' first='Elijah' last='Haven'], Dunham, 6-5, Jr., 14.4<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2316989' first='Tyrone' last='Jamison'], Calvary Baptist, 6-2, Jr., 20.5<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1543687' first='Athan' last='Olivier IV'] , Dunham, 5-9, Sr., 19.6<br>[player_tooltip player_id='3266181' first='Marcque' last='Terrell'], Ferriday, 6-5, Sr., 18.3</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Second Team</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='3266188' first='Dawson' last='Brown'], Madison, 6-4, Sr., 18.6<br>Jason Colar, West St. Mary, 6-1, Sr., 12.5<br>Graham Comeaux, Lafayette Christian, 6-2, Sr., 16.0<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2894761' first='Hermon' last='Dyson'], Country Day, 6-3, Sr., 8.8<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2894330' first='Joab' last='Trosclair'], Catholic-New Iberia, 6-10, Sr., 16.0</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Outstanding Player:</strong>&nbsp;[player_tooltip player_id='2471563' first='Kellen' last='Brewer'], Country Day<br><strong>Coach of the Year:</strong>&nbsp;Shawn Davis, Ferriday</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Honorable Mention </h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2307980' first='Jarvis' last='Washington'] (Dunham); [player_tooltip player_id='2883348' first='Curtis' last='McAllister'] (Country Day); [player_tooltip player_id='2132749' first='Jaiden' last='Hall'] (Calvary Baptist); [player_tooltip player_id='3266184' first='Bryan' last='Vaughn'] (Madison); Calvin Washington (Ferriday); [player_tooltip player_id='2549840' first='Tyree' last='Riley'] (Northeast); Quintavious Stanford (Green Oaks); Fred Thomas (Capitol); Jaydon Johnson (Rayville); Zayveian Johnson (Rapides); [player_tooltip player_id='2413102' first='Khailen' last='Ross'] (Vinton); Michael Lange (Vinton); [player_tooltip player_id='2532099' first='Kaiden' last='Kemp'] (West St. Mary); Jahiri Perry (Franklin); [player_tooltip player_id='3353865' first='Jacob' last='Norris'] (Rosepine); [player_tooltip player_id='2472562' first='Reid' last='Murphy'] (French Settlement); Jason Chewning (French Settlement); LaTyruss Guidry (Kinder); Maddox Fitzhugh (Ouachita Christian); Kyson Daniel (Lake Arthur); Kellen Cox (Many); Brantley Carney (Episcopal); Chris Barnes (Avoyelles)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
