Robert Brown, a talented 6'5" guard scoring more then 21 points a game for Clermont East Ridge High School basketball team in Florida, decided to play his senior year at Hargrave Military Academy in Chatham, VA to become "a more complete player and more well-rounded person."
Brown, a Virginia Tech recruit as a junior, didn't want to just breeze through his last year at East Ridge High, "I didn't want to get complacent and just be OK with coasting through East Ridge. Being here made me correct bad habits, and work hard. I tell people I'll pretty much put up with whatever I have to do to get better, to be ready to play next year."
At the Academy, Brown spent two hours in mandatory study-hall sessions, went to bed at 10 p.m., and awoke very early so that he could be in formation at 6:05 a.m. to march to breakfast in full uniform. Not exactly the schedule most highly recruited high school basketball stars keep.
Here's to you Robert for not taking the easy way out and committing yourself to being a more complete player and person-stay positive, stay generous, and STAY COOL!
What do you think of Robert Brown's decision to leave Clermont East Ridge High School to play basketball at Hargrave Military Academy?
