Inside The Brotherhood | Brick Memorial Football (Premiere) | DBP Ep. 13
In this special episode of DrivenByPurpose, we sit down with members of the Brick Memorial Mustangs Football team, coming off their road win against Jackson Township and sitting at 6–1 on the season.
For this episode, we're doing something a little different. Instead of a traditional sit-down interview, we bring the team together at quarterback Tyler Pierce's house for a conversation about the season, the brotherhood, and everything that goes into representing Brick Memorial.
Everybody sees what happens on Friday nights, but there's another side to every team that people don't always get to see. In this episode, we go beyond the football field and get to know the players beyond everything.
