Scholar-Athlete of the Week: Trey Brown
Trey Brown, a senior, is a member of the varsity football team, playing quarterback. He also plays on the varsity baseball team where he plays shortstop.
Trey carries a 3.7 GPA and scored a 30 on the ACT. His favorite subject is history. When asked why this was his favorite subject, he commented, “I love learning about historical events and decisions that made our world what it is today.” When asked who has had the most influence on him academically, Trey responded, “Mrs. Otwell has influenced me academically since my freshman year. She has always been the teacher to write ‘I know Trey can do better’ on report cards even when I didn’t think I could. Her constant belief has encouraged me to try harder even when I didn’t believe in myself. My parents have also always believed in me, encouraged me and pointed me in the right direction.”
Athletically his greatest achievement has been making the play-offs in football since 2010 and in baseball since 2011. He is proud to be a part of two teams that have proven Donoho can compete with the best of 1A schools. When asked who has had the most influence on him as an athlete, he said, “There are two. Coach Felder and Coach Satcher have been two of the most influential people in my life. They have been supportive of the players but have also taught us through their own Christian example to be better men. There are not two better men I’d rather be coached by.”
Trey is a member of the Knox Concert Service Committee, Fellowship of Christian Athletes and Students, Marksmanship Club, Young Republicans Club and Science Club. He is also a member of Golden Springs Baptist Church and actively involved in the youth group. He volunteered last summer at Regional Medical Center.
Trey is the son of David and Cynthia Brown and the brother of Katie ‘17. He has applied to several colleges and is unsure at this time where he plans to attend. He plans to pursue medical school after receiving his undergraduate degree. When asked how he wanted to be remembered, he said, “I just want to affect another person’s life in a positive way whether it be academically, spiritually or in general by the example I set daily.”
Congratulations, Trey!
