Brianne Mack, a distinguished alumnus of SouthLake Christian Academy, was named to the NCISAA 1A All-State Team. A dominant force on the court, she earned All-Conference honors in the Metrolina Athletics Conference and was named to the NCISAA 2A All-State Team during the 2010–11 season. That same year, she was recognized as the Carolina Weekly Newspaper Group’s Lake Norman-Area Girls Basketball Player of the Year.
Throughout her career, Brianne compiled more than 1,000 points and 1,000 rebounds, averaging 15 points, 13 rebounds, and 4.3 blocks per game. Her standout seasons included 18 points, 15 rebounds, and 5 blocks per game as a junior, and 17 points, 15 rebounds, and 5 blocks per game as a senior.
Brianne went on to play all four years of Division I college basketball at Western Carolina University, where she graduated with double majors in Spanish Language and Literature and Communications. During her time there, she was an active leader in Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., serving as Community Service Chair for two years, and a dedicated member of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee for four years. She was also recognized as a Trailblazer for her leadership efforts on the 2015 North Carolina Bond Referendum campaign.
Following graduation, Brianne began her career in athletics as a college basketball coach at Salem College before transitioning into the technology sector. Since 2022, she has built a career in Software Quality, Process Improvement, and Data Analytics.
Her greatest accomplishment, however, is being a proud mother to her two sons, Major (6) and Mahkai (5). She credits her family—including her mother, Gloria Mack; her parents, Tia and Terry Batts; and her sisters, Tera Batts Brown and Tianna Batts—with shaping her journey. Brianne continues to give back to her community, stay active in basketball spaces, grow in her faith, and share her love of sports with others.
