What do they love most about playing their sport(s)?

Brixton’s love for baseball started at just 3 years old, running the field in Blast Ball with squeaky bases. From those first swings to select ball and now taking on the 12U middle school challenge, baseball has remained his constant. Through every change and challenge life has brought.his dedication has always been to the white leather ball with red laces.


Who inspires them—on or off the field—and why?

Brixton has always looked up to his older brother, who is now living out his own baseball dream at Mississippi State. Watching his brother’s hard work and dedication has inspired Brixton to chase his own goals on the field. He wants to follow in his footsteps, work just as hard, and one day play baseball at the next level. To Brixton, his brother isn’t just family—he’s proof that big dreams are worth chasing. ⚾️


What’s one moment in their athletic journey that makes you proudest?

As his mom, nothing made me more proud than his glowing face as he wore bright pink breast cancer ribbons on his helmet in honor of me. His confidence exhumed every time he slipped that helmet on. He was battling the field while I battled life.
