There's always next year! You girls did a GREAT job and I know from experience that what you girls were trying to do is VERY hard! You are all amazing athletes and you should hold your heads high because of what you've accomplished this year! You can come back next year and blow everyone out of the water! My daughter played for Decatur High School in the 1990's and they were an awesome team and by watching you girls play, you've got the same heart that they did back then! Congrats on a GREAT season!

I am tremendously proud of your many acheivements this year. You have represented your school in a positive manner.

As Coach Bryant once said; " As Champions it is harder to repeat".

Best wishes for success in your lives.

I enjoyed watching these girls play this year.

Our family is very proud of the Lady Patriots (they are exceptional ladies and not girls) as well as all of the other Brewer High School athletes. Brewer students and athletes (and really every other student in the high schools in Morgan County including the city schools) continue to exemplify the best of our students and our future leaders. They continue to work hard in their athletic activities while maintaining their grades under tremendous pressures and demands upon their time as well as the time of their parents, siblings and other family members! To have made it to the final 4 in your division is an accomplishment that you can take with you for the rest of your lives and with the future student/athletes to follow you, Brewer will be back next year! For the other schools in Morgan County, we have seen most of you play and none of you have any reason to hang your heads because you too are exceptional! You all have been great and for the public, if you want to spend some quality time watching our great future leaders "leave it all on the floor or field" and play their hearts out, then don't sit at home in front of the TV, and get out and support our students in all of our sports!

GO LADY PATRIOTS and all other Morgan County students and athletes and thank you for representing us this year where ever and against whomever you played! You ALL are the best and our public schools deserve all the support that we can give them! Brewer will be back in Birmingham again next year and whoever we play, Watch Out! Cause we are going to be better than ever!
