This week The High School Highlight takes you to Glendale High School. Home of the Cardinals, and a team with high hopes this season. Last season, under head coach Rob York the team went 8-2.
This year they look to improve on that and make a playoff run. One of the young men that plans to help is sophomore WR/QB Rocco Bruney.
Bruney also plays Cornerback and is a very smart player. He comes from a football family, his father and older brother are both assistants under York. The youngest Bruney also carries a 4.0 GPA in the classroom.
The young receiver starts on offense and plays special teams. He has been playing football for 6 years but has been around the game his entire life.
Bruney has goals of graduating high school and playing college football. Bruney told me in an email interview that he plays the game because he has been around it his whole life and that developed in to live for the game.
Bruney says it takes a lot of effort to manage football and his class work but ."it is the greatest thing ever".
