It doesn’t take much to do something good, and for a football player in Everman, all it took was waking up a little earlier and taking a few extra steps.
"It really did bring joy to me because like he could have looked up to anybody else but it was me. So,
it made me feel good. It made me feel like I did something. You know, it was just a cool moment," he said. Brooks says the little boy was already in a good mood when he greeted him at the car. They talked about football, Brooks' position as running back, and as they walked, the boy told Brooks he wanted to play football, too."I was like, 'You can do anything you want, kid,'" Brooks said."I feel like I can be a big role model to them and if I'm a big role model to them, they could be a big role model to somebody else.
Brooks said that brief interaction brightened his day"because he looked up to me. He made me feel good about the day going into the day, starting up the morning. So, like of course, he brightened my day. I feel like he made me play good in that game that Friday."For the district, though, the big win happened that morning when players showed how they can be champions in the community, too.
