Below is an except from a letter written by a parent of a senior to the Class of 2015 football players capturing the emotion of being part of a Brookstone team, and as she explains, family. “As we watched from the stands we saw your passion, your commitment, your work ethic and it generated deep emotion in us. We swelled with pride because we recognized what you were accomplishing for yourselves and for your school. It is impressive and good to have what it takes and to give what it takes to be a football player–to be a Brookstone Cougar. And when we all met on the field after the games when you, all of you, yelled one, two three, FAMILY, we were thankful you are part of ours. You have set a great example for all the players that will follow you. Going forward, always give it your all, be the very best you can be, do it with same intensity, determination, resilience, and character you showed this year. And wherever you are, whatever you need, we would be honored if you would call on us. One, two, three, FAMILY – ALWAYS!”
