AIN’T NOTHING BUT A GIA THING, BABY

/in /by

EAST PALESTINE, OH- It isn’t often in a student-athlete’s life that he or she is able to fly solo in the role of leadership.  Having the pressure of creating a winning culture, and leaving a lasting legacy can be overwhelming at times.  It’s a responsibility that only the dedicated can accomplish.

In Bulldog Country, one young lady has stared in the face of adversity so many times in her young life that it’s actually become a part of her job description.

Gia Brestelli has played the part of the influencer in her tenure as a Bulldog on the volleyball court, has spirited the sidelines as a cheerleader, and is now holding the leash as the lone upperclassman on the softball team.

While the job is far from done, there is no doubt that Brestelli has left her imprint on the future of girls sports in the future of East Palestine for generations to come; and she may have more to say on the other side of the sideline as a coach in the near future.

Gia sat down with us at YSN HQ and talked about her time as a Bulldog, and what’s next in her exciting future on this edition of East Palestine Player Profile: AIN’T NOTHING BUT A GIA THING, BABY!
