“Play It Smart is helping me to achieve higher learning and lifetime goals. I have learned the importance of being prepared early for my future in college football as well as the importance of giving back to the community in which I live.” – Brandon Adams, Therrell High School
“Play It Smart has put a lot of things into perspective for me at a young age. I have learned that what I do in my classes and on the field now will directly affect my future as a college athlete. I have learned that taking the SAT/ACT now will prepare me for college and I never knew I needed to start taking the test as early as now before Play It Smart.”
– Tommie Davis
“The program has kept me on a path to college. It has helped me mature as a student and has taught me the importance of academics.”
– Kerrod Simuel
“Play It Smart is a program we look to providing us academic and scholarship resources. Our smart Academic Coach, Mrs. Palmer, has been very helpful to me and my mom in guiding me through opportunities to help me be a better student and a strong candidate for acceptance into a top college. Mrs. Palmer never accepts our team not working to be the best. She supports us in all of our sports and activities in addition to football and shows us she believes we are the best. She is always there offering help and encouraging words to us.”
