Belfry’s Brad Lowe emerged from the shadows one year ago as a sophomore, especially with his play on the defensive side of the football.
When it comes to hard work in the off season, the upcoming junior has caught the attention of his coaches, including legendary head coach Philip Haywood.
Since Belfry’s season ended in the regional finals one year ago at CAM Stadium against Boyle County, Lowe has been committed to improving his skills, strength and game speed this off season.
For that, he has been honored this week as being named Mountain Top Sports’ Athlete of the Week.
He finished with 48 tackles in nine games last fall. Look for those numbers to increase when the Pirates kick off the 2019 season on the road at Southwestern on Aug. 23.
Area coaches are reminded if you have a player who has worked extremely hard in any sports during the summer break, let Mountain Top Sports know about it.
