Meet Armorel High senior Ben Braswell! He sums up his year in one word: “Productive”—and we’d say that’s an understatement. Ben shines not only in basketball and baseball but is also a three-time golf state champion! What stands out most is his outlook: “Basketball is more than a sport; it builds lifelong friendships.” His advice to younger athletes? “Don’t stress about playing time. Keep working on your skills, and your time to shine will come.” Ben is a great role model, and we’re lucky to have him at Armorel! 🐅
