Coach’s comment: Brendan is a great player and a better person . He is a quiet leader who leads by example on and off the field as well as in the classroom. It is my belief that Brendan is capable of playing at the highest level and plans on continuing his career in college. His level of play last year really helped to propel our team to its first ever state championship . I am really excited to see what he will be able to do his senior year. Despite his success he remains diligent working to improve himself .
