Brody played his second year of Greenville Grizzlies football this fall. Tonight was the banquet. One of my highlights was serving Marcus Lattimore and his fiancée, Miranda, salad.
Later in the evening the players were all recognized and received t-shirts. There were four players in his age group who received an award. Coach Meagher said Brody loved to tackle more than anyone else on the team.
Coach Repp said he had a lot of fun coaching him on defense, that Brody was a leader on the field who was in on every play. He said pound for pound he wasn't one of the biggest, but he was tenacious. He said this player played as hard as he could and he never gave up on a play. Coach also said he celebrated more than any other player when they won and took it hard when they lost. Brody was given the Tenacious award. His other teammates, who were also buddies also won awards: Dylan (Protector) and Jake (Intelligence). The QB and star of the team, Carson, was the Ferocious winner.
I am so glad this organization does not give out participation awards. Last year Brody saw the four kids who received awards. He watched their play and worked much harder at practice and in games this year and improved tremendously.
I'm one proud Grizzly Mama!
