Brownwood High School honored their student athletes Sunday with recognition and awards. Top honors for the sports program are the “Pride of the Pride” Awards, which were given to senior Julie Kennedy and junior Graylon Brown.
Coach Shipley spoke of how much time each athlete, parent, and coach put in to make a successful season. “To be as successful as we have been in almost every single sport is, I think, an honor that our entire community is very proud of.”
He went on to thank the people supporting the athletes, such as the band, the drill team, and the cheerleaders. “Tonight is to honor the athletes, the ones who laid it on the line, so that our teams could be as successful as they have been this year.”
Each coach announced their players on every team and recognized those with district, regional and state achievements. Lion heart awards were also given to male and female athletes of each sport. Top honors for the entire sports program were the Pride of the Pride Awards, which were given to Senior Julie Kennedy (pictured above) and Graylon Brown.
Athletic Director, Bob Shipley pointed out that Brownwood High School had a lot of young coaches. Although some younger coaches may have less experience, he explained that this youth gave the new coaches the ability to dream and set some goals for the teams, which worked out rather well with so many teams getting into the playoffs. Next year the only sports at BHS that won’t have new coaches since Shipley’s arrival to Brownwood will be soccer and tennis.
