Brett was not only blessed for his height but having one of the best wide receiver cores in the state. All his receivers are over 6 feet tall and strong enough to tackle and keep moving. Brett was great at passing long distances and threw three miraculous passes that perfectly went through North Shore's secondary and made it perfectly into the wide receiver's hands. It was a great sight to witness Brett threading a needle multiple times. Brett's stats were 2 touchdown passes and rushed in one touchdown himself.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
