WELCOME TO THE BROCK SHOW
LEETONIA, OH – Leetonia High School’s senior basketball player, Carson Brock, joins Carter Thick Mills to discuss his final year and the legacy he hopes to leave behind. In a recent interview with YSN, Brock opens up about his experiences, growth, and aspirations.
Reflecting on his senior year, Brock notes, “It’s been weird. I’ve been going to Leetonia my whole life and playing sports here. It’s definitely odd knowing this is my last year playing with my friends, but I’m hoping it will be worth it.” Brock and his fellow seniors have been instrumental in raising the bar for Leetonia athletics. “We’ve been playing together since fourth grade. There’s seven of us, and we all want to make a change,” explains Brock. Despite previous struggles, including a winless sophomore season, the team remains determined. This season, they have already matched last year’s win total with four games yet to be played.
Key to their progress is the leadership and continuity with their coach, with whom they’ve built chemistry since their freshman year. Brock attributes the team’s competitiveness to this stability and leadership. “Our leadership helps with underclassmen, knowing that if we do all the right things, we can win these games,” Brock emphasizes. A standout on the team, Brock lets his performance speak volumes, averaging just under nine points per game. Despite challenges with his three-point shooting, he’s adapted by driving to the hoop more and contributing with rebounds and putbacks. Brock’s influence extends beyond the court. Younger players, inspired by his work ethic and commitment, look up to him. “It’s weird because I remember being that kid. It’s different being the senior now, but I’m happy they look up to me,” he says.
Off the court, Brock excels in academics. Accepted into Youngstown State University (YSU), he plans to major in business, inspired by his father, who owns a business. “I’m hoping to take over his business once he retires,” Brock reveals. None of this would be possible without the support of his family. “I love my family. They’re very hardworking, and they put a lot of effort into everything,” Brock shares. As his final high school season continues, Brock remains focused on contributing to his team’s success and cherishing every moment. The future looks bright for this dedicated athlete and aspiring business leader.
