Mount Notre Dame senior K.K. Bransford was a champion from the get-go.
As one of the top freshmen in the nation four years ago, she led the
league in scoring (16 ppg.) and helped the Cougars win a seventh Ohio
state championship, tying a state record in girls' basketball. She was
rated as the #1 guard in the nation in the class of 2022 and was
selected as a member of the USA Women's U16 national team that won the
gold medal in the FIBA Americas Championships in Chile. The Div. I
collegiate offers began coming in for her while she was still playing in
middle school! She has committed to the University of Notre Dame to play
basketball next season.
Her sophomore year was more of the same. She led the league in scoring
(20.2 ppg.) while helping the team being the #1 rated girls' basketball
team in the nation. Unfortunately, the 28-0 Cougars' drive toward
another Ohio state championship was derailed in the semifinals when the
Covid outbreak canceled the state playoffs.
Currently, with more than 2,000 career points, K.K. is a MaxPreps' and
McDonalds' All-American. Entering her senior season, she helped the
Cougars win 72 consecutive games. She had numerous big games last
season, including scoring 31 points vs. Cookeville, 30 points vs. St.
Ursula and 28 points vs. Roger Bacon and Centerville. The 28-0 Cougars
once again won the Ohio state championship, the school's eighth, the
most in Ohio girls' basketball history. K.K. scored all of the Cougars'
eight points in the double-overtime period in the state title game win
vs. Newark. She led the GGCL in points per game (21.4), assists per game
(5.1), shooting percentage (51.5%) and steals per game (3.0). She was
also third in rebounds (6.4 per game). Her efforts were acknowledged on
a statewide level when she was named Ohio Ms. Basketball, Gatorade Ohio
Player of the Year, MaxPreps' Ohio Player of the Year and GGCL Athlete
of the Year for the second time.
KK is playing great this season, too, once again the GGCL's leading
scorer (about 22 ppg.). She also leads the league in assists, field goal
percentage and steals. She scored 34 points vs. Princeton, 32 points vs.
Centerville, 28 points vs. Gahanna Lincoln and 27 vs. Crown Point, the
reigning Indiana 4A state champions. She also scored 26 points vs. both
Pickerington Central and Olmsted Falls, 25 points vs. Ryle, 24 points
vs. Seton and 23 points vs. Sheridan High School, North Canton Hoover
and Cooper High School. In the win against Ryle, she nearly had a rare
triple-double, with 25 points-nine rebounds-nine assists. She helped the
team stretch its consecutive-game win streak to 79 games before the
streak was snapped by a loss to Princeton.
A National Honor Society student who is very active in community
service, K.K. holds several school basketball records and also plays for
the Cincinnati Angels club team. Her favorite athlete is Naomi Osaka,
favorite book is The Hate You Give, favorite movie is Creed and
most-like-to-meet is LeBron James.
COACH'S QUOTE – "KK is a generational player and has left her
imprint (Cougar!) on and off the floor. Her ability to elevate her
game and the players around her on a daily basis is her gift. Her
pursuit of greatness is a constant."
— Dr. Scott Rogers, Varsity Basketball
