Sports at Brandon has given its students the ability to do their own thing. Boys are offered a selection of football, basketball, wrestling, soc- cer, baseball and track and field. The girls choose from field hockey, basketball, gymnastics, soccer, softball and track and field. Sports develop character, self- confidence and self-esteem. The athletes at Brandon put in many ex- tra hours practicing and playing. The coaches work with the athletes, caring about their class work as well as their athletic abilities. The stu- dents learn to work together to make each team successful. Many athletes develop into school leaders not only on the field but also in other school activities. Brandon has been successful in all its sports programs. Backed by an enthusiastic administration, qualified coaches, and the pep of the student body, the sports program has grown in all it offers to a Bran- don Charger. In our brief history, we have won city championships and have benefited from the blending of in- dividual student talents into rewarding team spirit. Brandon's sports program is a prime example of how sports help students achieve and develop into well-rounded citizens.
