27 Aug 2024 501 Football Team 2024: Joshua Brock – South Side Bee Branch

For the first time in school history, there will be football on Friday nights at South Side Bee Branch.

The newest member of Class 8-man football’s North Division, the Hornets are ready to write the history books this season. Senior center Joshua Brock couldn’t be more excited for the opportunity. “I have always wanted to play football,” he said. “Here it is, my senior year, and our school district added football! I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to play.”

An All-Conference baseball standout, Brock understands what it takes to be a leader. “I’m working as hard as I can to better myself in every practice and game,” he said. “By pushing myself, being a good teammate and having fun, I can make my team, coaches, parents and school proud.”

Determined to make a good first impression, Brock and his teammates are committed to laying the foundation for the program’s bright future.

“We are getting better each day,” he said. “Listening and learning all we can from our coaches during every practice in every huddle will make us successful this season.”

“Josh has great work ethic and leadership skills,” Head Coach Todd Langrell said. “He is a great teammate who puts the team first. We expect him to be a vocal leader for us.”

Off the field, Brock participates in Beta Club, FCA and FFA at South Side Bee Branch. A member of the yearbook staff, the senior also serves as a mentor in the school’s peer leadership program.
