Meet Brooks Wilson, a Dora High School senior whose talents extend beyond the sports arena. A two-sport athlete, he has been making waves as a guard in basketball for coach Michael Bridges and a second baseman and outfielder in baseball for coach Mark Glenn.

He has also proven himself to be a remarkable student, with a GPA of 4.1. He is also a proud member of First Priority, Beta Club, Peer Helpers, and the Student Government Association.

Brooks attributes his successes to his disciplined approach to managing his academics and sports commitments. “I just keep the mindset that I’m a student-athlete. That academics come first.” Brooks says.

As he looks ahead to his graduation in May 2024, Brooks plans to receive a college education and enter into the engineering field.

Brooks is the son of Barry and Amanda Wilson.

Congratulations, Brooks, on your athletic and academic accomplishments. We wish you the best in your future endeavors! WL
