“The real” Brooke Schwartz is
nothing like her tough persona that
she exudes on the soccer field. Underneath her jersey lies a heart of gold.
For the people that know her, they are
fortunate enough to have a great friend
who will always have their back. For
the people that really know her, they
are also fully aware that she has her
“blonde moments.” Over the summer
at a bonfire at the Schwartz home, she
was warning her friends not to drop
anything on the ground because she
didn’t want “all of the coons to show
up.”
When she’s at school, safely away
from the raccoons that she so despises,
she’s involved in many different activities. She has played soccer all four
years, plans on playing basketball for
her fourth year this winter, is a member of the National Honor Society, the
Spanish club, and PLUS.
“[Soccer] in general is a blast to
me. It also helps that the team gets
along well and is able to have a lot of
fun during practices and games,” said
Schwartz. Her friends/teammates are
the reason she’s stuck with the sport
for so long.
Her favorite high school sports
memory took place her junior season.
“Last year’s team made it to regional
and that was definitely an accomplishment and it was a lot of fun to make it
further into the tournament,” she said.
Her coaches have played a big
role in Schwartz’s commitment to the
sport. “They’ve honestly helped me in
a lot of ways. From the many drills we
do, to helping the team connect as a
unit, to just being there for encouragement. They’ve done a lot for us.”

Schwartz schooling isn’t
over after she graduates in May. She
is planning on attending a four year
university. There are a few schools she’s
interested in attending, but nothing is “set in stone,” according to her.
Although her schooling isn’t over, her
soccer career will be after this fall. “I’ll
miss soccer a lot but I don’t plan on
continuing to play.”
