Go Braves!

The Brownstown Central Football program has three primary objectives. To help each athlete be successful on the field, off the field and in the classroom. We are going to develop attitudes and behaviors that will help each member reach his full potential as a football player, community member, student and develop into men that we can all be proud of. 

1} Be a T.E.A.M.- Together Everyone Achieves More. TEAM 1^st in all that we do.

2} Be an ELEVEN- On a scale of 1-10, be and Eleven- on the field, off the field & in the classroom.

3} P.R.I.D.E.- Personal Responsibilty In Daily Effort. GET BETTER EVERY DAY.

4} WORK like a Champion, TODAY! Outwork your opponent daily. Fatigue makes cowards of us all.

5} W.I.N.- What's Important Now. When things go wrong. Get over it, get up and try it again.

6} NO EXCUSES & NO REGRETS - Be accountable everyday and don't WISH you would've, should've or could've.

7} RELENTLESS EFFORT- Go 4 to 6 seconds, point A to point B, as hard as we can on every play & every rep.

8} COMPETE- COMPETE- Everyday in Everything. Life is about Competition.

9} DO YOUR JOB- Don't worry about anyone else, be accountable for Your JOB & Your Responsibility

10} MEMORIES- Have FUN & create memories that will last a lifetime.
