• Coach Deter- I originally coached Brice in quarter pint baseball when he was 10 years old. During his first year, I was an assistant coach; his second year with the team I was the head coach. I also coached Brice in seventh grade basketball and again in high school baseball as an assistant baseball coach in 2010.Brice has developed into such a really good baseball player essentially on his own accord. He has been taught along the way with the help of several good baseball minds, but it’s because of his passion to get better that has given him the drive to learn from everyone and push himself to get better. Brice has an awesome work ethic, mind, and attitude for baseball. He can be taught, pushed, and challenged just as hard as anyone. He hates to lose and is as fierce of a competitor that you can find. He’s definitely the guy you want on the mound in a jam with the bases loaded and the game on the line.  Brice as a person; I can sum it up like this: I have a two year old son, and I’d feel accomplished if he turned out to be three-quarters of the young man that Brice has turned out to be thus far. His baseball achievements aside, his accomplishments off the field with schooling and his personality are impeccable. This speaks volumes of the type of young man that Brice is and has become, he’s a father-figure to his younger brother and a role model to anyone.  I’ve had the honor to be a part of Brice’s life. I gave every child on our quarter pint the same opportunity to call and ask for assistance on the side and I would come at any time to do so. Brice was the only one that called in the eleven years that I coached youth baseball.  Baseball and most sports in general are measured by certain criteria or stats, to some this measures greatness; to me this is a flaw in the system that bypasses several great players. Not only does Brice possess the talent to play at the next level and succeed; he has the heart, the dedication, the determination, the charisma, the passion, and the willingness to learn and adapt.
• Matt Dazey, Athletic Director Central Noble High School- Brice is an athlete that you want to coach.  He is respectful, pays attention to detail, and is a very hard worker.  These qualities will help him become successful student-athlete.
