10/17/12 - Two student athletes from Brighton Area Schools are featured on the large brick exterior of a building in the downtown area. The Brighton Athletic Department and The Pound restaurant have partnered up to better ingrain the athletic department and schools into the community through the use of art. The district submits photos of two athletes who will be featured for one season, which are then transferred to plastic and heated onto the bricks of the building. BAS Athletic Director John Thompson tells WHMI they look toward upperclassmen in choosing the athletes and select both a female and male so both genders are represented. He says they want to highlight students who not only excel at their sport but in in the classroom in terms of leadership and character. He says this is just another example of Brighton Area Schools and Bulldog Athletics working with the different entities that make up the community. The first two students featured are Forrest Chong who is on the boys soccer team and Hannah Pietila from the girls golf team. (JK)
