When he swings down to JV as a varsity player, it is his job to lead the team and help everyone with what they need to be at that varsity level, “On JV I’m a leader, but on varsity I’m there to learn.” Once Brown is playing up on varsity his role changes from leader to listener He learns and listens from the older guys to make him better and get to varsity caliber level.

The time he spends through basketball and baseball can be challenging for many people, but Brown is doing an excellent job using his time wisely when needed.

Also, for this upcoming baseball season, Brown’s biggest goal Is to first win the metro title, and then head to state and get the state championship win.
