Braden River wins
4-A Fred Rozelle Sportsmanship Award

Braden River High School has been chosen
by the Florida High School Athletic Association as the
overall winner in the state classification
4-A Fred Rozelle Sportsmanship Award!
There are well over 70 schools in Class 4-A.

As the winner BRHS will be presented two plaques and a check from the FHSAA for $3,000
next fall. Congratulations to our athletes, coaches and student body for their great behavior during
our games this past school year. One of the criteria was that a school shall have no student or
coach ejections from an athletic event for the entire year. BRHS was nominated by
another school and an officials association.

A big thank you to the entire BRHS Family for their efforts to always try and exhibit class and sportsmanship at our events.


Congratulations
Lady Pirate Lauren Powell!


Lauren accepted a four year scholarship to play softball at
Palm Beach Atlantic University. She will be entering their pre-pharmacy
program, and is looking forward to studying in a small Christian
school with high academic standards.

We would like to congratulate our
Lady Pirate Volleyball Team
for advancing to the Regional Finals.

You had an awesome season and we are so proud!
Way to go Lady Pirates!
