The 5-foot-9-inch combo guard has scored in double digits in 15 of the 16 games so far in the season\u2014 with a season-high of 40 points versus Florida State College at Jacksonville on Nov.16.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, basketball didn\u2019t always come naturally to Brown, but with a lot of persistence from her father, Derrek Brown, she was able to evolve into the player she is today.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brown grew up in Maywood, Illinois. She learned to play basketball on the court of her town\u2019s recreational center when she was in sixth grade.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHonestly as a kid I always liked basketball but I was never into the idea of playing,\u201d Brown said. \u201cI actually got bullied a lot when I first started because I really couldn\u2019t play. I wanted to give up a lot.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But her dad wouldn&#8217;t let Brown give up. He took her to any court that had a rim and practiced with her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHe saw something I didn\u2019t, a deeper vision,\u201d Brown said. \u201cAnd from that point on he pushed me and practiced with me seven days a week until I became better than the bullies I cried to him about.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brown went on to star at Proviso East High School. During her senior campaign, she averaged 19.2 points, six rebounds, six assists and three steals per game. Brown was selected as the team\u2019s Most Valuable Player that year and was ranked the 26th best player in the state.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After graduation, Brown brought her talent to Miami Dade College.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdcthereporter.com\/freshman-provides-grit-and-leadership-for-lady-sharks\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">freshman year<\/span><\/a>, she was appointed captain of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdcathletics.com\/sports\/wbkb\/index\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Lady Sharks basketball<\/span><\/a> team and aided them in clinching the Southern Conference title. However, t<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">he Lady Sharks fell to Florida Northwest State College 77-57 in the first round of the Florida College System Activities Association State Tournament.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But the accolades poured in. Brown was named to the All-State team, the Southern Conference Player of the Year, an All-Southern Conference first-team player and an All-American for the 2018-19 season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brown, who aspires to play professional basketball abroad, continued to work on her game this past offseason, but she considers her biggest improvement to be her positivity and her leadership qualities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI wouldn\u2019t talk much last year on the court. I kind of had an attitude at the beginning of the year,\u201d Brown said. \u201cWhen I was doing good I would talk, but once I started doing bad you couldn\u2019t talk to me. Now I try to go into a healthy mind[set] before every game.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Her goal this season is to lead the Lady Sharks, who are currently 10-6, to the state tournament and nationals.\u00a0 Brown\u2019s teammates are confident she can take them there.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cShe\u2019s not just a great player but also a great person,\u201d said point guard Rio Yamazaki. \u201cThat\u2019s why everybody on this team trusts her and follows her lead.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Lady Sharks\u2019 next game is on the road versus DME Sports Academy in Daytona Beach on\u00a0 Jan. 15 at 5:30 p.m. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daliyah Brown has been the Lady Sharks\u2019 leading woman this season.\u00a0 As a sophomore, she leads the nation in scoring with 26.4 points per game to go with 7.7 assists.
