FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Head coach LeAnn Freeland-Curry and the Nova Southeastern women's basketball staff are excited to announce the signing of Patricia "Pistol" Brinson, a 5-4 freshman point guard from Central Christian High School in Sharpsburg, Ga.
 
"Pistol is a scoring point guard who produces on both ends of the court," explained Freeland-Curry. "She has been a vocal leader for Central Christian and helped them win a lot of championships. Pistol is crafty and creates shots for herself and teammates easily. This season, Pistol showed a willingness to get out of her comfort zone to become a strong scoring threat from the point guard position. Defensively, she pressures the ball well and anticipates off the ball to make defensive plays."
 
During her senior season at Central Christian, Brinson averaged 21.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 6.2 assists, and 5.0 steals per game while recording a 56 percent shooting percentage from the field and 35 percent from deep. She led her team to a 29-7 overall record, and ultimately the program's third DI-A Georgia State Championship title.
 
Over the course of her career, she was awarded a copious amount of honors including All-County (three times), All-State (three times) and was a two-time National Association of Christian Athletes All-American. Her career highs include: 37 points, 12 rebounds, 11 assists and 13 steals.
 
Brinson also achieved the remarkable feat of a triple double, not once, but three times during her high school career.  24 points, 10 rebounds and 11 steals vs. Peachtree Academy on Dec. 10, 2019, 20 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists vs. Camp Jewell on Jan. 16, 2020 and 19 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists vs. John Hancock on Feb. 21, 2020 during the State Final Four.
 
"Pistol will be studying Psychology at NSU and anticipates obtaining her undergraduate and master's degree while playing for us," added Freeland-Curry. "Our coaching staff and players are excited to announce Pistol Brinson is a Shark."
