That's how I push my grades up, said David.  Big tests are tough for me so I have got to make sure my homework is done right. <br>There are two well known stories about David that are examples of his leadership. When he was an 8th grader at the end of the football season, David stood up to the varsity high school players and said,  You all need to be in the weight room to get ready for next season. Be there or you'll answer to me. <br> As a 9th grader, David saw a kid smoking in the restroom. He asked him if he knew that it was against school rules to smoke in the school. The smoker started yelling at David and pushed him. David calmly took his cigarette away and flushed it down the toilet. They are friends today and respect each other. David has the unique ability to do the right thing while getting others to respond in a positive way.<br>David believes you should always listen to your coach.  Respect everybody, David advises.  If you give your respect, you'll get respect. I know when I go out, I represent not only myself but my school, my coaches, my team, my parents and my church. If I were ever to get a black mark on my record, it would go down as a black mark on all those who I represent.<br> God gave me a talent and I try to work with it. I have been so very blessed. I know to be successful that I must stay faithful to my belief in God. I must honor my friends and family. I have a good support system of coaches and parents. That's why it is so important for me to have a good attitude and work hard. <br>I thank David and Coach Paul Dick. What a joy it was to be with them at their school. I came away all pumped up to be a better man. selected to the All-Tournament NCAA South Two Regional Team. They hit 17 homeruns in the College World Series which tied the record while finishing third. Brad was selected as a First Team All-American and led the SEC in homeruns and RBI's. <br>Brandon seemed so squared away during our interview, I was surprised to hear him say,  I made some bad choices in high school. I got kicked out of school my senior year. But, I did some real soul searching. I realized God gave me some talent and I wasn't supposed to waste it. I got my life back together, went to junior college and then on to LSU. <br> I never miss class now. I turn in my assignments on time. I don't drink, or chew, I don't think alcohol and tobacco are part of baseball or life. At seventeen I never would have said that. My brain wasn't on the right path. Brandon is, not surprisingly, majoring in philosophy and religious studies. He plans on getting a Masters Degree with a goal of teaching and coaching at a junior college. Further goals include going after a Ph.D. and becoming a university coach. <br> I might play pro ball if it happens, philosophies Brandon.
