See how Brown gets Down!

Earl Brown who stands at 6'6" from Imhotep Charter jumped on the scene very early when he was freshmen in high school.  As a freshmen and sophomore, he was very productive at Freire Charter. He would find many different ways to help his team reach the fullest potential possible. Something just wasn't right for Brown at Freire and he transfered over to Imhotep, where he would excell early scoring 269 pts. in his junior year. He would then understand what victory tasted like on and off the court. He would show his ability to be athletic and get people to notice how good a player he was. He took his game to another level when he decided to take a back seat in order to help the better production of the team. Earl would not crack the starting line up but would be a huge piece in the success of his team winning a state title this past season. Not only, did he earn the opportunity to win a state & city title but he would also earn a scholarship offer to St. Francis (PA)
If you talk to Brown about why St. Francis, he would tell you, "OPPORTUNITY". He explain "imagine getting the opportunity to play, get a great education, work hard and people from home would be able to see me play". Even though Brown didn't get the biggest looks and could have easily prepped and went bigger, he found a home in St. Francis (Pa).
After the visits and great experience and help from his team, he would show that he can be as productive as anybody else, by coming up big for his team when they needed him, including his big game in the state championship. He realized his time would come and now the guy who came off the bench with great upside, has now found a place to play Division 1 basketball and make a huge impact from the beginning to the end of his career. 
I wish Earl the best in his next four years.
