    Brody Ross is a freshman and a member of the varsity football team.

    This is Ross’s first year playing on the varsity team, but he also played on the middle school football team for two years. He worked hard for his position as the center lineman. This position requires the quickness and strength to snap the ball to the quarterback. Ross’s goal for this season is the challenge to take on bigger and stronger kids on other teams.

    “I look forward to taking down the bigger kids on the other teams, but I am really looking forward to the kids on the Mapletown team,” said Ross.

    Ross plans on playing football as a Rocket for the rest of his high school career. He looks up to his dad for inspiration, but his favorite NFL player is Lawrence Taylor.

    “Taylor is my inspiration because of his hope and courage to never get up and chase your dreams.”

    Ross’s favorite thing so far about this season was the big win against The Maples.

    “I was so happy when we won our first game of this season, our team really can work together.”
