Brewer, a free safety, wide receiver and kick returner for the Patriots, was named to the first team All County and All Area teams and was an honorable mention to the All State team. Walker also told the crowd that Brewer established himself as the number two kick returner in the school’s history.

“You will always be Patriots,” said Walker to his players. “When you come home from college, see your parents first but come visit us second.”
